The New Colossus Festival – Day 1

Filed Under: Album/EP, Live Shows — By: Oliver Bouchard

This is the time of the year where we usually immerse ourselves into music full time with SXSW, and since last year also [The New Colossus Festival](https://www.newcolossusfestival.com) in our hometown. Of course it is different this year: SXSW is not happening, and it is hard to engross into anything other than… well, you know what. But to say it with one of the artists, Siv Jacobson, who traveled nonetheless from Europe to play at New Colossus: “Music always helps.” And so we double down on what we always do: find new music for you and write about it, as a reminder that life is going on and there is still a lot of beauty to be found out there.

Filed Under: Iceland Airwaves, Q&A with... — By: Elke Nominikat

You might have come across W. H. Lung on glamglare (or elsewhere) before, because we truly dig the Manchester three-piece,  whose sound is a mix of krautrock, post-punk and synthpop. Much to our delight, they are scheduled to perform at this year’s Iceland Airwaves and hence we reached out to[…]

Filed Under: Iceland Airwaves, Q&A with... — By: Elke Nominikat

Even before we saw Brighton-based quartet Penelope Isles live for the first time during this year’s The New Colossus Festival in New York, we were already fans of their beautifully crafted indie rock.
