Kurschatten - Lonely bass synthesizer kisses desperate chorus guitar, driven by restless percussion. One person sings along, sometimes two. Kurschatten have built themselves a cozy, cool nest between post-punk, wave and raw dark pop. The new EP "Tropische Jahre" will be released in September 2024 - and once again moves between rugged straightforwardness and morbid vibrations.

Sacred Skin - From the underground scene of Los Angeles comes "Sacred Skin", a project that reveals the true essence of music and explores its immensity with a unique blend of new wave arrangements and powerful vocals that captivate the listener.

The first single "Colder" was released in March 2021 and captured the hearts of dark souls worldwide with its melancholic undertones and perfect songwriting. The following singles - "Eyes Closed" and "Far Away" - brought them their first live performances at the Substance Festival in Los Angeles and at the famous Hollywood Palladium as support act for AFI.

The series of singles and live performances led to the release of their first LP "The Decline of Pleasure" in May 2022. With its distinctive new wave arrangements and powerful vocals, the album is unique in its class. The use of early digital outboard gear and samplers, specifically the Sequential Prophet VS synthesizer and EMU Emulator II, preserves a classic studio feel that is timelessly unique. Sacred Skin's second LP will be released in 2024 on Artoffact Records.
