Torul
Some bands follow trends, and then there are bands like TORUL, who exist in a realm entirely their own, sculpting soundscapes that defy convention while resonating with deep emotional complexity. With their latest album, ‘Superposition’, the Slovenian trio once again pushes the boundaries of Darkwave, Synthpop, and alternative electronic music, crafting an experience that is both introspective and electrifying. Much like the quantum principle of superposition, the album explores the idea of existing in multiple states at once - emotionally, musically, and thematically. It is an album of paradoxes: sleek yet raw, melancholic yet uplifting, precise yet organic.

The Lottery Winners - “Tour Of Europe” - Support: The Deadnotes
THE LOTTERY WINNERS had already performed in Cologne in autumn 2024 as support for the mighty LEVELLERS (we covered it back then, of course) and the English band blew us away so much that we couldn't resist the opportunity to see them again as headliners on a short tour through Europe and took advantage of the opportunity at the sold-out Club Volta. In Cologne again.
