New every month: our new large music express playlist for streaming!
For each issue there is a newly curated playlist with the song recommendations of the ME editorial team. Here you can listen to the music that we tell you about in the magazine while you are reading.
For those readers who don’t want to do without our exclusive CD, it will continue to be available in the ME subscription (which, by the way, can be canceled at any time).
This time the March playlist features music from:
MONACO
In 2020 the German-Canadian collective was on our hotlist. Now the long-awaited debut album SCARED OF THE WAY I MOVE is out: a gentle, floating mixture of indie pop melodies and folk guitars.
SCRAP BORDER
The Hamburg band remains political through and through. Or: the sound is definitely pop, the attitude still punk. Singer Saskia Lavaux sings about what self-determination also means: namely how often you have to be wrong to be right.
ANNA B SAVAGE
The most exciting self-assurance anthem in a long time: “We had sex / I didn’t cum,” sings the Londoner over an electronically vibrating arrangement. Then in the refrain the insight: “I want to be alone / I’m happy on my own”.
AVEY TARE
The Animal Collective singer’s new record is full of beautiful home studio finger exercises and experiments: music that blurs between indie pop, ambient and folk, but – as here – can also be danceable, including funky basslines.
MR DK
With Mr. DK it sounds so easy as if anyone could (which of course is not true): to write good, sincere pop songs in German. About self-doubt and the fear of death. Without ironic distance, but with a sumptuous pop sound.
CHARLOTTE BRANDI
How good that the Berliner switched to German for her solo project after the end of Me and My Drummer. The result sounds like elegant pop poetry and art song at the same time and is full of little wisdom.
