The album is available as a black and a strictly limited silver double vinyl in gatefold, there is also a double CD in digisleeve. The theme of the album has lost nothing of its topicality. "Forest Enter Exit is about dream and reality. Dream and reality are images that arise in the brain and are formed by the character of the individual. Attempts to escape, such as drugs, mindmachines and cyber worlds will not change anything, on the contrary, only accelerate the isolation. The nine songs on Forest Enter Exit lead through the most diverse corners of sublime dreams and human imagination. Excursions into virtual realities end in sober everyday gray, only to be immediately whisked away again into the dazzling worlds of times long past. A very personal audio trip between appearance and reality. In accordance with the thematic diversity, a wide variety of musical styles are combined on Forest Enter Exit in typical Lackey fashion. Forest Enter Exit is further proof of the band's musical independence. The duo Deine Lakaien are Alexander Veljanov, vocals, and Ernst Horn, keyboards and production. The two work together in Ernst's studio and produce everything there - starting with the rough version of a track to the finished master tape."

Mick Flannery is one of Ireland’s most acclaimed songwriters and singers. The award-winning, double-platinum selling artist has released seven studio albums, three of which have reached No. 1 status. On September 15th he will release his eighth studio album 'Goodtime Charlie'. Featuring collaborations with Valerie June, Anaïs Mitchell and Tianna Esperanza. Mick has partnered with US Label Oh Boy Records, which for them will be their first non-American signing. “Mick Flannery has a voice for the ages, a complete Master of his craft” cited by Clash Magazine, whilst The Sunday Times said he “conjures up exquisite story-telling.” His last album in 2021 consisted of a collection of duets with up and coming Irish artist Susan O’Neill. American Songwriter called ‘In The Game’ a “Sorrowful Masterpiece.” The record was nominated for the Choice Music Prize, and won the RTE Radio 1 song of the year two years in a row for tracks ‘Baby Talk’ and ‘Chain Reaction.’ The album was the biggest selling independent record in Ireland in 2021. Mick Flannery’s songs are fluent in expressing layered aspects of the human condition, its flaws, triumphs, and general uncertainty. Originally a stone mason by trade, he once described his stage presence as that of a ‘Mountain goat’ however over the years that shy awkwardness of said mountain goat has started to dissipate. His live shows are renowned for his self-deprecating humor, audience engagement and the ability to bring people on a journey of both heartbreak and joy, often in the same instance.

The Saxon treasure is finally back. And this doesn't mean the ostentatious crown jewels from the Green Vault, but the "pearls" that Blond let shine on their second album. The band has proven in recent years that Chemnitz and glamour need not be mutually exclusive. Whereby Blond have their very own definition of what glamour actually is, namely sometimes snotty or radical and yet elegant. The band always mixes small pieces of glass under their indie pop glitter, because bloody fingers and sharp edges, because small and large scars are also part of life. Also to the life of female-read people, of which society still has very precise ideas about how it should be best. But Blond tell how it can also be: pretty pink and angry at the same time, defiant and glittering at the same time, to roar and howl along, to doubt and dance. This album is full of dark indie-pop gems that oscillate between rage and world-weariness, dancefloor and hanky-panky, that pack a punch but also take heart. Which sometimes shimmer in hyper-pop, rap or fine new wave tones and are always adorned with irresistibly catchy choruses. Which you can call pearls or bangers or hits or boards. Digipak.

Someday they'll bash each other's heads in again," grandma once said about the two brothers Val and Leo. Fortunately, that never happened. But the murderous sound of Zwo Eins Risiko did. Rousing bass riffs and energetic drum grooves create unique, brutal rock music that makes you expect far more than just two people. The foundation stone of their band was laid by the two already next to numerous building blocks in the common children's room. They delivered the first milestone "HERZ", their debut EP, in the summer of 2019. The impact, phenomenal: the EP climbed into the top 25 of the German alternative charts and made it into Udo Lindenberg's Panikpreis final. The next big coup: the debut album "Zwo Eins Risiko". Single releases like "Speed" (a confession to the guilty pleasure of the speed rush), "Hollywood" (a homage to the greatest movies of all time) or "Schwarzer Spiegel" (a song about the dystopian effects of cell phones on mankind) let the anticipation rise. Val and Leo's motto: Don't be afraid to take risks! Digipak. 1. Speed 2. Tanzt wie du bumst 3. Schwarzer Spiegel 4. Hollywood 5. Geier 6. Tokio 7. Serienkiller 8. König vom Kiez 9. Hölle 10.

Heather Nova has always had a deep connection to the sea. This is perhaps inevitable when, like the singer-songwriter, you are born on one of the Bermuda Islands and spend a good part of your childhood on your parents' sailboat exploring the Caribbean. On this boat, Heather Nova also comes into contact with her parents' music collection. This consists of sixties and seventies singer-songwriter and hippie music. She also receives her first guitar as a gift on board and immediately begins to write her own songs. Over the following decades, Heather Nova releases ten successful studio albums, many of them with direct lyrical reference to the sea. There is her international breakthrough album "Oyster", its successor "Siren", "300 Days At Sea" and of course her much acclaimed band album "Pearl" from 2019. And now "Other Shores", on which Heather Nova exclusively covers songs by other artists for the first time. She herself says: "I'm a songwriter first and foremost, but over time I've realized that sometimes I also enjoy being the performer. When I record a cover version, I'm all about completely stripping away the original production of a song and exposing its bare bones." That's exactly what the singer-songwriter has done with the 13 songs on "Other Shores." The music comes across as maximally stripped down and very intimate in its delivery. In the selection of the pieces Heather Nova has obviously set no limits. From eighties stadium rock (Foreigner, Journey) to pop (Bee Gees, Rick Astley) to indie (Pixies, The National), the 55-year-old finds the perfect songs for her sound everywhere. And as a finale - of course - Rod Stewart's "Sailing". Digipak CD 1. Waiting For A Girl Like You 2. Jealous Guy 3. Stayin' Alive 4. Fireproof 5. Never Gonna Give You Up 6. Don't Stop Believin' 7.

Finnish alternative metal outfit Awake Again has attracted a lot of interest in recent years, both in Finland and abroad. The album is full of pounding riffs, aggressive vocals and big, catchy choruses that manifest the band's wide musical range. The mood of the album varies from impressive aggression with songs like Enmity and Busy Doing Nothing to raw emotion with songs like Look Around and Fall. For about half of the album, the band was assisted in the writing and production process by established professionals: Finnish producer/songwriter mastermind Jonas Olsson, who has previously worked with major pop artists such as Robin and Finnish metal giant Amorphis, as well as Danish songwriter Christoffer Stjerne (H.E.R.O.) and Finnish producer/songwriter Lauri Hämäläinen contributed to the album. "It was really a privilege to work with these great professionals, and from these sessions we really learned a lot and got the confidence to develop our own ideas," says guitarist Kasper Hellström. The album features an artist who is no stranger to metal fans around the world; Lena Scissorhands of the band Infected Rain. CD in digipak. 1. Enmity 2. Into Two 3. Look Around 4. Rise 5.

"Asaf Avidan is one of the most unique voices of today's music landscape. Jon Pareles of the New York Times described him as a special hybrid: “An artist that writes like Leonard Cohen, sings like Robert Plant, and has the charisma of a cabaret performer”, while Bob Boilen of NPR (said to have stopped his car when he first heard Avidan on the radio) writes, ""Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin and Bob Dylan are all in there, but they add up to a wholly original sound, with songs that are beautifully written and fervently performed”. His debut album The Reckoning features the song that was later remixed and turned into the summer hit One Day/Reckoning Song." Digipak. 1. Maybe You Are 2. Hangwoman 3. Her Lies 4. Weak 5.

With their double album "Dual" released this spring, however, Alexander Veljanov and Ernst Horn have once again raised the bar a good deal higher. But what resonates above all, despite all the sophisticatedly designed and lavishly decorated packaging, is the musical realization of a more than ambitious project, namely the juxtaposition of ten selected cover songs on one album and ten of their own compositions, each created specifically for these tracks. Once this idea was put into practice, however, the charismatic duo produced such a wealth of material that another album, "Dual +", is now released, partly continuing the concept of "Dual" without limiting themselves to the strict pairing of cover songs and their own songs. With "Dual +" Deine Lakaien now present another fine collection of idiosyncratic cover versions, associated or even independent original compositions and a remix, which reveals the spectacular musical range of the duo in all its facets and once again takes the sworn fan base on an extraordinary journey.
