NEW ALBUM "Whatever Works" 
Out 1st of April 2020.

Andi Fins is a Berlin-based producer, singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. 
Following the launch of his third album ‘How Will Our Hero Get Out of This One’ Andi continues to let our little hero shine on his new album "Whatever works" which will be released in April this year featuring stories of characters dealing with the dusty glamour of modern life.

WHATEVER WORKS (OUT ON 1ST OF APRIL 2020)

On Andi’s new album WHATEVER WORKS his own shortcomings are elevated to a glamorous way of life. 
When he sleeps through the party in "Opportunities" and meets his alter ego in "French Movie" in an indistinct infinity the smoke rings keep on circling until they end up surrounding some new world pictures in "Wasting my time“. Quite incidentally, but fortunately. It can be hard to show your feelings - provided that you have any.

The album is about how you can make a fool out of yourself though you’re trying to impress, why you can get angry even though the sun is actually shining on your head and it reminds you how good it feels when something is coming out of the blue, even though you haven't expected anything from that direction for a long time. You long for vacation, until you feel it by entering the corner store at night and after some practice you defeat your weaker self and say something nice to someone you love anyways, without thinking about the risk that you could be vulnerable.  You can also get a little jealous of those who are able to deal much better with all those issues, but hey, "come on, could you play a happy song for me?"   The album was recorded from summer to autumn 2019. Its basics were recorded at ZODIAQUE together with Alex Binder and Hanno Stick and finished in Andi's home studio bit by bit. Ideas became phrases and music, sketches developed to forms, some of them were discarded, some of them got picked up again and some ideas were there immediately and just wanted to be recorded. At the end there is a selection of songs which display a certain period of lifetime the best and it remains the good feeling of never being done with anything but still having the desire to discover something new.
WHATEVER WORKS is Andi's first album on vinyl.

IAN LATE stands for timeless and catchy indie pop. In 2018 the Berlin singer-songwriter released his debut album CHOICES which was written and produced with his band, mostly in country houses far away from the fast-paced and restless metropolis.
The nine songs on it are like balm on the soul, let you pause and hover. They impress with depth and stylistic multifacetedness: from driving and danceable Brit sounds over melancholic floating ballads to shimmering 80s wave sounds - always dressed in strong, hopeful pop melodies. Spherical, radiant and distinctive guitar sounds, melodic bass runs and crisp drum beats determine the sound of the album. IAN LATE’s striking voice does its part to bring the words to the listener both emotionally and vividly.
He sings about life in a big city like Berlin, about the uprooting, blindness and greed of the western meritocracy. But the album is as much about personal relationships and their difficulties, about loss, letting go and new beginnings, as well as dealing with your inner self.
With ever new material in its baggage, IAN LATE has toured in recent years both inside and outside Europe, such as in Nashville, New York City, Shanghai and Taipei. Moreover he has also been active as a street musician and has been writing and singing for DJs and producers of the EDM genre, reaching a top 10 dance charts placement with the single "Hey Girl" (2014) - a collaboration with DJ Pretty Pink.

Bosnian-Slovenian singer/composer Mirna Bogdanovic is combining instrumental music with vocals, as well as jazz with electronics and pop. Firmly established on the Berlin scene, she’s made a name for herself as an emotive songwriter, Downbeat and 2x Deutscher Jazzpreis award-winning vocalist and performer.

With Louise Gold it always seems to come down to keeping on the move constantly. 

Like a shark, circling the oceans of various musical styles , she takes a good chunk out of everything that swims her way, 
mixing effortlessly Ennio Morricone, Americana, whining wurlitzers and surf guitars into her luminous pop songs.

Recorded with producer Guy Sternberg after her band’s first appearance ever at this year’s SXSW, the songs on the upcoming album „Terra Caprice“ urge forward, no matter what.  

Be it on horse with the cowboys in the wastelands of a Plattenbau Western or running with wolves; be it floating smoothly underwater as an amphibian superhero or navigating the mined territories of human relationships - Louise Gold’s songwriting stays in motion. As does her sublime voice - ranging from elegantly high pitched to a raw gnarl and back..

An adequate setting to enjoy the musical spheres of Louise Gold would be to rob a bank with Gena Rowlands, throw the booty in the back of a ´81 Delaurean and „Terra Caprice“ in the audio system and hit the road in a car chase from Tucson to LA.
