Crystal Skull Persuasion – Animated Mayfly Festival ‘Crystal Skull Persuasion’ opens up a space in which a character teeters between exaltation and exhaustion.

Growing Pains – Andy Jans-Brown, Cameron Spike-Porter

Aus diesen beiden Elementen formt sie ein ganzes Universum – rhythmisch, atmend, organisch. Die Produktion wirkt dabei nie minimalistisch, sondern konzentriert: Jeder Ton hat Gewicht, jede Schicht eine Funktion. Zwischen Indie‑Anklängen, Avantgarde‑Gesten und Singer‑Songwriter‑Intimität…
The End (Album) – kamikaze
Jessi and Flo start where other bands would have long since fallen silent: at the moment of near-surrender.
