Sivert Høyem is one of Scandinavia’s most distinctive voices. As the charismatic frontman of Madrugada, he made music history. On February 26, Høyem will bring his new tour to X-TRA Zurich.
Even though Friday the 13th is generally considered an unlucky day, we don’t want to indulge in superstition here. On the contrary, maybe it will even be a lucky day for you. Because you still have until tomorrow to win our free tickets for Sivert Høyem on 27 February in Zurich. Click here to enter the raffle.
Today is a lucky day for me because The Beauty of Gemina have released a new single (even though I was lucky enough to hear it a few days early). Endless Ever is the name of this six-minute epic, which deals with the theme of agonising eternity.
„Endless Ever is about waiting as a state of being—about a love or hope that is greater than time,“ the band’s mastermind, Michael Sele, reveals. „I wanted to capture that feeling when seconds hurt because you miss someone, time loses its meaning, and in the end, all that remains is the endless clinging to hope.“
You can find out whether this endeavour was successful and what other sonic signatures are hidden in the song in my review.
And I would like to round off today’s newsletter with something to feast your eyes on. Our photographer, Evelyn Kutschera, squeezed herself between the stage and the audience at the Rote Fabrik cultural centre in Zurich to capture the concerts by Earl Sweatshirt and Sideshow for us. Here are the atmospheric impressions.
