Too Old To Hate Myself This Much | An EP Launch from One Final Boss

In the organizer's words:

Too Old To Hate Myself This Much

An EP Launch from One Final Boss

Every single thing written by One Final Boss is determined by his inability to come to terms with the fact he's in his mid-thirties. Whether it's struggling to let go of an old flame or dealing with the regret of some misspent years, this is music that pines for the simplicity of youth and ultimately the contentment that comes from moving on from it.

This January at Prachtwerk he will be celebrating the release of his 3rd EP "Too Old To Hate Myself This Much". A trio of songs about finding yourself in a bar in Berlin and realizing you've been doing this for nearly 20 years and everyone at your table is at least 5 years younger than you. They describe the self-disdain and melancholy that come with this revelation but also the new focus that arises when you can accept it.

Based in Berlin, One Final Boss is the brainchild of Irish singer/songwriter Simon Maguire. Through his own procrastination, he has been a generally passive participant in the music scenes of Dublin, London, and Berlin for over a decade. The music itself is an eclectic mix of indie hooks and anti-folk sensibilities, which is why it's been likened to everything from R.E.M. to Pat The Bunny, from The Magnetic Fields to Bo Burnham.

With very special guest: Miss Nöyd

Growing up in a tiny fishing town in the isolated north of Norway, Miss Nöyd was forced to find inspiration in the juxtaposition between the violence of nature and the safe but clammy existence of insular, small-town living. It's no wonder she was drawn to the artistic opportunities and pulsating energy of Europe's music-capital Berlin.

Her compositions are characterized by humble but clear pop-melodies that leave space for pristine vocal deliveries that enchant and entice. Her lyrics are waves of consciousness that reflect a voice that is seasoned with experience and emotion, the perfect harmony between vulnerability and strength.

Miss Noyd draws inspiration from the soft present touch of OkayKaya, the raw spirit of Susanne Sundfør, and the trembling confidence of Courtney Barnett.

And support from: Otto Brown Cargo Cult

At the intersection of folk and country we find space for songs of love and hate. Written with an untrustworthy and incomplete memory, the tracks reflect on a past characterized by constant attempts to use irrational means to pursue rational ends.
