ANCHOR 2020 Nominee Trailer
ANCHOR - Reeperbahn Festival International Music Award is the accolade for the most promising emerging artist from the festival's program and takes place from 16 - 19 September 2020 in Hamburg, Germany.
These are the Nominees 2020:
The Berlin-based artist Arya Zappa is one comprehensive work of art – musically, visually, poetically. She just released her debut album “Dark Windows” which is filled with synth-pop songs that were inspired by poetry, cinema, and mythology and reflections on the essence of being human.
The duo ÄTNA defies all conventions by blending organic beats, recorded on enhanced drums with channeling vocals and pianos. The result is art-pop, futuristic indietronic, lush rhythms, and glorious vocals, evoking a longing that speaks of wanderlust. Their debut “Made by Desire” marks a new chapter in German pop history.
Three successful albums, numerous sold-out club tours through the Benelux, and many more support shows; Eefje de Visser is ready to captivate the rest of the world with their Darkdrums, warm synths, catchy songs, and mesmerizing voice. They recently released their fourth album “Bitterzoet”.
The Swiss ensemble L'Eclair is committed to groove. The six-piece playfully fuses funk with highlife, disco with dub, and even incorporates a few sprinkles of krautrock into an organic whole that defies all categories and works without vocals. Trippy times guaranteed!
The French singer-songwriter Suzane first caught people’s attention after becoming the most programmed artist at the 2019 summer music festivals and winning several prizes. The “teller of true stories” sings about gender pluralism, sexualized violence, but also about the omnipresence of social networks. Her music is similarly multifaceted as she playfully combines the charm of French chansons with infectious dance beats and electro synths.
The Norwegian Tuva Hellum Marschhäuser aka Tuvaband has a knack for capturing strange magic in her songs. Her compositions range from delicate, piano-led folk to softly-soaring post-rock that wraps the listener up in their special atmosphere. Her second album “I Entered the Void” was released this year which deals with the balancing act between Passion and delusion, fears, loneliness, and identity.
