It was a bit of an outpost sound park at the weekend in Hamburg. A number of homegrown acts performed at the Reeperbahn Festival (you can imagine it as a showcase and therefore the equivalent of the Waves Vienna Festival), including Bibiza, Cousins Like Shit and Anda Morts. Wear it out!
But of course there was also a good program at home. On Sunday, for example, the super great Anna Mabo was a guest at the FM4 favorite songs. We listened to Talking Heads and Bon Iver, among others, and clarified the important question of whether Anna wrote her “Hello” song as the little sister of Wir sind Helden’s “Guten Tag” (spoiler: no, maybe).
More new music (videos):
Lukas Oscar – „Bloodhound“
Klingeling, Newcomerzeit. „Bloodhound is regarding the universal feeling of never being able to reach satisfaction, and navigating a world where high performance is always expected“, schreibt Lukas Oscar for the release of his first single “Bloodhound”. Close your eyes briefly and imagine your sniffing nose wiggling. Lukas has been playing the piano since the tender age of 6, somewhere in the press flyer it says “Alica Keys” and then even “The Voice Kids Germany”. You don’t have to know everything anyway, we’re in the now and in this song, it’s push-the-tomorrow-aside-a-side music, a song regarding taking other people by the hand and then shortly therefollowing to whistle.
ZINN – „Apocalypso“
Finally once more ZINNWell, of course, when the leaves start to rustle and we have a little more time to think (maybe). “Summer is coming to an end,” they sing, “and it’s time to dance the Apocalypso.” So dance and whisper “Vanitas” into the ear of the other person, or, if you’re not into exaggerated Latin vocabulary, you might prefer “YOLO”. A new album from ZINN will be released in December with the once once more wonderfully unpronounceable title “Chthuluzän”. According to the band, this first single is a song to cuddle with. Eh, the best.
Low Life Rich Kids – „Paralysiert“
“State paralyzed, wake up, feel blocked”: Someone is caught in Groundhog Day mode, well then, if not a feature film, make a video regarding it. There are people writing and singing who subscribe to Problems instead of Vogue and have already racked their brains regarding it. Because if so, then German-language spelling competition words are already peaking high: After “paralyzed” there are nice things like “verified” and “irritated”. Low Life Rich Kids They didn’t choose their name for nothing.
SOVIE – “Weightless”
Something from the “new and good” category once more. Maybe you were there when SOVIE Together with other friends from the music clique around Verified, they performed at FM4 Frequency to make a bit of a statement (ahem, proportion of women in the line-up). But maybe not and then you’ll get to know them now: SOVIE – the “v” spoken like a very soft “w” – writes songs that in the Renaissance times you would have saved in the playlist between We are Heroes and July, we are free to do so out pop music. “Breathe out deeply and breathe yourself in”, a therapist’s favorite phrase, you can also think of here: Stay with yourself.
Also good and good to know
“Woooow Welcome to Cherry Land,” writes RUHMER on Instagram, himself speechless at the release of his debut album, hopefully the fans will be soon too. The favorite Austrian music cousins probably reacted in the same way when they released their debut album “Avant Trash” last Friday. Cousines Like Shit or the band we would all like to be friends with.
In this weekly column, Lisa Schneider and Andreas Gstettner-Brugger serve musical tidbits from Austria. New bands and songs, videos and concert highlights across the stylistic vegetable garden.
We are currently receiving a lot of songs on the topic of “just not taking life so seriously”. Basswood sent one from Hamburg, it says “Forever Now“.A “coming-of-age ballad with 2000s vibes” has us PANDE with “Someone Stronger” written.Things are going well at CHRISTL: new song comes out on Friday, first album comes out next February, and now her first volume of poetry is out (“I think I hate myself”)published by Haymon Verlag.Via Brazil and Austria to London: That’s a bit of a superstar dream Seedsthe new song “Karaoke” sounds like it too. “Austro-Noise since 2006” is a good Instagram caption, the new album “Opus” by Hidden By The Grapes Of course, we comply. On Thursday evening we talked to Laundromat Chicks regarding their new vinyl release, thought regarding how good that Swift Circle takeover from Sunday was, and we found out who Rektor Bust actually is and how his music sounds. Also: new songs by Ant Antic, Beaks, ZINN, Low Life Rich Kids or Lukas Oscar. At the FM4 Soundpark night on Sunday with Stefan Trischler there were extensive interviews and listening sessions with Texta and Monobrother as well as an extended edition of the current FM4 Schnitzelbeats .
