As you might have gathered from previous super-enthusiastic postings from us, Switzerland will serve as the focus country at the next Eurosonic festival in January 2020! Our live music programme is now complete and comprises 22 Swiss acts, reflecting a broad range of styles. It is no coincidence that quite a few names on our […]
Schammasch Crack Billboard Charts

Released on 8 November by the Los Angeles-based metal label Prosthetic Records, “Hearts Of No Light” hit number 55 in the Billboard Independent Album Charts, number 17 in the Current Hard Music Albums Charts, and […]
TRUE Are “Made of Glass”
Three years after their enthralling and successful debut album “Wrapped in Air”, TRUE – aka singer Daniela Sarda and drummer/producer Rico Baumann – return to the world of BBC airwaves, heat-seeker blogs and playlists with “Made of Glass”. Released via Mouthwatering Records on 22 November, their new collection of songs reflects a prolonged period of emotional difficulty without, […]
None of Them Drop Number 4
15 November saw the release of a new album by the Zurich-based electro duo None of Them. Entitled “IIII”, thus baffling everyone with a passing understanding of Roman numerals, it is available from the fine independent label A Tree in the Field to whom None of Them recently signed. Less anarchic, perhaps, than previous outings, […]
Reverie with Nadine Carina
Ticino-born singer/songwriter Nadine Carina – an alumnus of the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts – returns with her third album, “Reverie”. It was released on 22 November via Furious Hooves, a label based in Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. With “Reverie”, Carina turns away from the electronica sound of her last album to explore a much more […]
Black, Blacker, Blackest
Released on 8 November 2019 via Hummus Records, “Muladona” is the fifth album from much travelled, Geneva-based black metallists Rorcal. Recorded live in a studio within three days, “Muladona” cooks up a mighty storm of riffing guitars, drums, drones and intense vocals, whilst also finding time for a few quietly reflective moments. The album is […]
Rewinding Time with Science Fiction
LIUN + The Science Fiction Band is a project launched in 2012 by Lucia Cadotsch (vocals, composition, samples) and Wanja Slavin (synth, composition, sax). Their eerily gripping and constantly shape-shifting debut album “Time Rewind” was released on 15 November by Enja Records. It is, they say, “the creative product of Lucia Cadotsch and Wanja Slavin’s […]

Faber Fucking Loves His Life
“I Fucking Love My Life” is the eye-catching and sarcasm-soaked title of Faber’s new, second album. It was released on 1 November by Vertigo/Universal Records. Faber is without a doubt one of the most eloquent singer/songwriters using German lyrics at present. He is also one of the least risk-averse. Taking on the persona of a […]
