Bikini Beach

In the organizer's words:

Voracious caterpillars and beautiful butterflies. Carrot and stick. Fuzzy riffs and sugar-sweet melodies. Bikini Beach focus on contrasts on their new album. "Cursed" is album number seven by the border crossers from Lake Constance. Singer and guitarist Nils Hagstrom and bassist Charlotte Love live in Constance, while drummer Flip comes from nearby Switzerland.

In 2025, Bikini Beach sound darker than ever. No wonder, with all the shit going on around us. The lyrics deal with very personal problems or anger at the overall situation. The planet is going to the dogs, Nazis and populists are celebrating election victories and bombs and cruise missiles are flying in the neighborhood. "We are aware that, on the one hand, we live in a super privileged society, but at the same time we are sometimes simply stunned by current events," says the band.

Nevertheless, there is this wonderful music. Guitarist Nils, bassist Charlotte and drummer Manuel take us by the hand and pull us into the furthest corner of the rabbit hole. Where the carrots are blue, the floor glows and the dandelion leaves taste like marzipan. Wonderfully scratchy lo-fi sound, cultivated slacker attitude. With a pinch of surf and psychedelic.
