ANTI-POP CONSORTIUM (US)
First-ever Copenhagen show from the truly ground-breaking APC. New album ‘Fluorescent Black’ out now. "It doesn't take a genius to see why Thom Yorke likes them so much; like Radiohead, Anti-pop presents a dysfunctional update of their music, replacing the usual sense of community with one alienation.” NME “More fresh ideas in the opening six tracks than contemporary hip hop generally has in as many months... A band with a thriving ideas economy.” Uncut “They sound glorious as ever.” DiS

CODY
CODY is all about the heaviest cornerstones in music – the song writing and the melodies. As a German critic described the music: ”..it’s a bit like walking down a long corridor towards a door. On the way you get a glimpse of the wide expanses of nature outside. Then suddenly you step out into the open space and there it is: the infinite, wild and liberating landscape in all it’s unbearable greatness and loneliness.” Their debut full-length album, the mighty ‘Songs’, is out now in Denmark, Germany, Austria & Switzerland, getting rave reviews. The CODY debut EP is out now in Benelux.

MARIA TIMM
The debut album 'The Plan' is out now in Benelux through V2. “… a lovely set of 14 songs in the electro pop genre with catchy choruses to dance to (…) Enough potential hits (Dirty Place, One Beat, Green, Wet, White or Blue) to persuade fans from Katy Perry as well as An Pierlé.” Deuzio “This singer is a Danish phenomenon breaking through internationally with her remarkable debut ‘The Plan’ (…) A woman with a plan. Fjordastic!” Het Laatste Nieuws In February/March, Maria will give her live-band a rest, and will go on a joint-tour with Marie Frank, exploring and interpreting each others songs. After this tour Maria will take the band on the road to Holland. Belgium shows will be announced soon.
