In spite of being part of the so-called Cologne szene, Xul Zolar have always been, acted and sounded different. In an exclusive interview recorded in the band's rehearsal room, Xul Zolar talk with NBHAP editors Chris Hegholtz and Igor Franjić about how they overcame their inhibitions and created one of this year's finest debut albums, that is 'Fear Talk'.
The singer Enji gives her jazz conservatory education a twist by breaking open its structures and drawing from her background in thousand-year-old Mongolian folk tradition. In conversation with NBHAP, the artist talks about her new album "Ulaan" and explores the personal connection to the color red and how trust and communal singing shaped the music.
