Bikini Beach
Cursed
This is a Pre Order. Item ships on/around
Voracious caterpillars and beautiful butterflies. 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.
“Everything has been cursed since 2020,” says the band, explaining the album title. “When we were in the studio for our fifth album “Atoll”, the coronavirus pandemic had just started. This not only completely overshadowed the release and the upcoming tours, but also brought with it a lot of disaster, fear and chaos. Not even two years later, the war broke out in Europe and is still going on. I wonder what other shit is coming our way?”
In 2025, Bikini Beach sound gloomier than ever. No wonder, with all the shit going on around us. The lyrics are about very personal problems or anger at the situation as a whole. 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.
