OUT: album 'Build From Here' by Wolfgang Tillmans

It navigates joy and heartbreak amid ruin and rebuilding, embodying hopeful defiance in uncertain futures. The songs vary in style, from propulsive and catchy to contemplative, featuring lush instrumentals transitioning into danceable beats. Tillmans’ voice, whether growling and confrontational or tender and stripped down, maintains its prominence throughout, serving as the album's core.

OUT: album 'All About Love: New Visions' by Akua Naru
Akua Naru's latest feat is an album entitled, 'All About Love: New Visions', inspired by and an ode to Black feminist icon Bell Hooks and her Titanic classic text of the same name, in which hooks examines society and its ideals of love. To honor and take up hooks' understanding of "love as a practice of freedom", especially in these times, Naru's forthcoming offering is a new vision for her love songs: recorded live by a large band ensemble supported by the highly decorated classical orchestra, Ensemble Resonanz.
OUT: album 'Rampen' by Einstürzende Neubauten
They search for new forms. For the undiscovered sound and the yet unspoken word. Since their inception on April 1, 1980, Einstürzende Neubauten have been shifting the parameters of mainstream and subculture to make the inaudible audible. And perhaps even the unheard-of. A field research experiment spanning over four decades now enters its next stage. In their 44th year of existence, the group goes far back to their roots while simultaneously redefining themselves. A changed self-conception, for which the Berlin quintet plus one has created its own genre in 2024: apm – alien pop music.
