Homesickness is a chamber-folk septet framed around the tranquil and pensive artistic voice of Copenhagen-based singer, guitarist, lyricist, and painter, Malthe Junge. In a trust-based and compassionate musical space, the group paints a varied sonic picture - drawing from experimental rock and jazz alongside various traditional forms of folk music - and using sound sources such as violin, trompet, piano, mellotrone, chimes, and bells, in addition to the acoustic and electric guitar, drums and bass. Ideally, the compositions serve as intuitive artistic tools to mirror and stimulate conversations about mental health, spirituality, love, and relationships; a glimpse into a highly personal, vulnerable and sometimes almost devotional pursuit of emancipation, where light and love, pain and darkness, are unified into a cohesive aesthetic whole.

Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, Chopper is a dark, danceable and playful post-punk project by Jonatan K. Magnussen (The Love Coffin) feeding on anything from eurodance to glam rock, harsh industrial to disco (Chopper himself prefers the term “shock pop”). Already receiving attention for his intense live shows, enigmatic music videos and flamboyant expressive attitude, Chopper is all about a fine line between tragedy and comedy. Although reminiscent of oldschool horror flicks and synthetic bubblegum pastiche, don’t fool yourself - underneath lies an undeniable gut-wrenching personal force. Imagine a carnival from hell, a fun, haunting and amusing little nightmare, the sound of untamed youth and the longing for love; all somehow elegantly yet forcefully contrasting the bleakest personal observations. With great charm, diversity and somewhat diabolic undertones, Chopper demands to be included among the unholy (and unwritten) canon of weird, haunting, homeless, lost pop figures of the past and present. Chopper lives well and free in a strange but captivating world. Long live the wicked!

Taxidermy is a Copenhagen-based experimental noise rock/post-punk band, consisting of Osvald Reinhold (vocals, guitar), Toke Brejning Frederiksen (guitar), Joachim Lorch-Schierning (bass), and Johan Knutz Haavik (drums). Inspired by the tight nervous post-punk of the late ’70s and ’80s, the dissonant angular experiments of math-rock and no wave, as well as the minimalism and vitality of post-hardcore and emo, Taxidermy delves into the cryptic and disorienting, the claustrophobic and surreal, in their sonic explorations of the disquiet of contemporary existence. Fronted by Reinhold’s frenetic, tension-fuelled voice (perhaps reminiscent of singers such as David Thomas and Black Francis) - and through intricate, unpredictable compositions, raw and visceral textures, broad dynamic range, and intense emotional delivery - Taxidermy challenges the listener to confront the discomfort of the unknown, somewhat akin to contemporary acts such as Black Midi, Sprain, and Metz....
