The Tallinn Music Week is taking place for the 14th time from May 4th to 8th. But this year is different than before. In February, Estonia's neighbour Russia invaded Ukraine. In a gesture of resistance TMW 2022 splits its focus between Tallinn and the eastern city Narva. We spoke to the co-curator Ingrid Kohtla to learn more about the hopes and struggles of the festival.
The first playlist update of 2022 is lead by the mighty cinematic dream pop from one of Germany's most promising alt pop newcomers. Make sure to check it out along with other musical recommendations from Lady Bird, Thom Southern, Lou Roy, Beau, Karin Ann, Sworn Virgins and more.
