On her search for hope in times of despair, Peruvian artist Sofia Kourtesis found it in the work of a famous neurosurgeon and her Berlin community. Her first full-length album "Madres" tells the story of her mother's recovery, of finding and nurturing family, and of fighting against homophobia. Norman Fleischer met with Sofia to discuss some of these topics.
The Leipzig-based indietronic outfit opens our newcomer playlist with her gentle single "Electrons". Further additions to this lovely little list include music by Danube, Post Coal Prom Queen, Maud, Alina Pash, Pastel Stereo and others.
