This week's Introducing playlist update features the cinematic Amsterdam-based neo-psychedelic rock duo Donna Blue. Ahead of their debut LP release "Dark Roses" we curated a playlist with their finest efforts to date and other musical gems that fit the gloomy David Lynch-vibe the duo conjure with the music and visuals.
The London dream pop two-piece Dahlia Sleeps kicks off our brand new 'Introducing' series with the release of their long-awaited debut "Overflow". The lush realm of their LP is enlarged by a handpicked selection of fine newcomer tunes in our accompanying playlist you shouldn’t miss out on.
Hypes come and go, but rarely do they take such vigorous and consuming shape as on the self-titled LP of rising indie rockers Wet Leg. Ahead of their anticipated debut, NBHAP editor Andreas caught up with lead singer Rhian Teasdale to chat about their origins, existentialism and everything else that surrounds the release of their first full-length.
Holland Andrews is the latest part of the LEITER records family. We met the artist at their recording residency in Berlin a while ago to speak about their forthcoming EP Forgettings, working at Funkhaus in Berlin, and finding new voices and lights within.
Juanita Euka is not a Latin-American singer, she is not a Congolese singer, she is not a Londoner - she is all of those things at the same time and unapologetically herself. On her debut she explores themes of identity, cultural trauma, and pains of colonialism, while also empowering and celebrating Black female identity. Between Congo, Cuba, London, Peru, and Argentina, Juanita Euka walked us through her creative process.
Genesis is the act of creation in religious writing. Berlin-based artist K.ZIA used her recently released debut record for the creation of her own universe. Embracing Congolese and Martinique-an roots, she moves between groovy Afro-Beat and smooth RnB through the voice of two different personas on the album. NBHAP author Liv Toerkell caught up with the artist to find out more about her artistic expression.
The Danish newcomers deliver another fuzzy indie-rock tune to tease their upcoming debut album and it's leading this week's final update of our beloved LISTEN AHEAD playlist along with additional recommendable new music from Personal Trainer, Mall Girl, Wallice, Cosmic Crooner and more. Come and hop on this train for one more time.
