Mysterious, dark, and atmospheric, P. A. Hülsenbeck has created a perfect soundtrack for the upcoming winter season.

Minimal music. Ambient. Techno. Electronica. Modern Classical. This and much more comes on Daniel Brandt’s second solo album “Channels”.

One of the most moving videos of this year yet comes from the German “cinematic pop” singer and songwriter Felix Räuber, inspired by his visits in the Middle East.

ÄTNA are playing Sophocles. Inéz Schaefer delivers the dramatic soliloquies while Demian Kappenstein gives them musical context.

Woman’s debut album is full of longing. From the plea for “something greater” on opener “Dust” to the soaring synths and exploding drums of “The End”, the Cologne three-piece translate into sound the dream of a better world. What’s surprising is the way they manage to blend slick, sexy funk, arena-sized electro pop and just the right amount of pathos into a coherent whole.

As if rock music could ever die. On their debut album, Neufundland take cues from recent punk records and their hometown’s pop soniverse. An innovation of the German-language rock formula.
