Nature in the City evolved into its own ecosystem, from the depths of the concrete jungle of Boston, USA, to Berlin. The name contains an important reminder, that we are still part of nature despite living in the city. The band grew from a seed planted eight years ago, while Robin and Johannes studied at Berklee College of Music. They shared a close musical connection but did not anticipate the deepening roots of a long-lasting friendship. 

Album Release Date 2018: October 4th

In this coming record Nature in the City expands their music that is part of the Singer/Songwriter genre with sounds found in Country, Folk, Indie-Folk, Rock and Latin music.

Lyrics:

she was new to my favorite city
the city of Berlin
she was playing all the songs she new
and her dress was waving in the wind
she was singing to the people
that hung around to see
and though I was standing in the back of the crowd
I knew she was singing for me

alice
where will you be singing tonight
where will you be singing your songs to a silent crowd
I want to see you

so the next time that I saw her
I made my way right through the crowd
and though I took all of my courage
I did not dare to ask her out
but I heard her in my dreams that night
her voice was loud and clear
I sit here now can't get her out of my head
wishing she was here

alice
where will you be singing tonight
where will you be singing your songs to a silent crowd
I want to see you
alice
everybody there is going to love you
cause wherever you go and whatever you do
they love to see you

and the last time that I saw her
the crowd had grown so large
there was no way to get through to her
so I am shouting from the far...

alice
where will you be singing tonight
where will you be singing your songs to a silent crowd
I want to see you
come on, alice
everybody there is going to love you
wherever you go and whatever you do
they love to see you

In a delicately dosed combination of dirty punk sound and soft pop, Florence Besch creates her very own genre: Dream Grunge.

"Besch has a steady hand for big melodies that are equally suited for singing along and moshing. - Christina Mohr, Visions. 

The Luxembourg-born, Düsseldorf-based indie artist transforms her characteristic fragile honesty into powerful, raw energy on the new LP Gathering Hearts (Unique Records), combining dreamy guitar sounds with strong, sincere lyrics from the universe of loneliness and love. Besch’s music, described as Dream Grunge, blending indie lo-fi with dream pop and grunge elements, explores themes of feminism, emotional independence, and personal freedom. Florence Besch and band toured across clubs in Germany, played festivals like Herzberg Festival, New Fall Festival or Breminale as well as shows at Waves Vienna, Reeperbahn Festival, Crossroads Festival, Strasbourg Music Week and supported Paolo Nutini, Françoiz Breut and The Düsseldorf Düsterboys among others. In 2025 Florence Besch is nominated for the popNRW award in the category Outstanding Artist.
