Program

Nach zwei Alben und mehreren EPs als Teil des Trios das bisschen Totschlag veröffentlichte der Künstler nix kiepe zuletzt die ersten beiden Auskopplungen aus seiner Solo-EP insufficiently prepared. Die EP ist das Ergebnis mehrerer Jahre des Songwritings und wurde im Hafenbereich von Hamburg aufgenommen. Mit insufficiently prepared etabliert nix eine innovative Spielart des Dreampops, die geprägt ist von ausdrucksstarkem Gitarrenspiel, kreativem Sounddesign und eingängigen Melodien.

Bei der ersten Auskopplung handelt es sich um den title track der EP. Über die treibenden drum samples, den tiefen Bass und die sphärischen Gitarren legt sich eine futuristisch anmutende, manipulierte Stimme. Der mitreißende Song handelt davon, dass die Überzeugung sich auf die Zukunft vorbereiten zu können, eine Illusion ist – „I can’t change that I am insufficiently prepared!“. Passenderweise kommt das dazugehörige Musikvideo in Form einer Fail-Compilation daher. Der zweite Song mit dem Titel Pause, Rewind and Play zeigt die ruhigere, sphärischere, aber nicht weniger einnehmende Seite der EP und verdeutlicht die musikalische Vielschichtigkeit und Eigenständigkeit des Projekts.

Coming off the back of her gothic shoegaze debut album 'Euphoric Recall' released in 2021, MØAA unleashed her second full length album 'Jaywalker'; a nocturnal dream pop record featuring pulsing 909 drum machines submerged under catchy hushed vocals and glistening, reverb laden guitars. Fuzzed out bass lines from the first album have been swapped out with fat chorus and throbbing synths built for melancholic dancing.

The new album was written entirely by Seattle born musician, Jancy Buffington, but as with 'Euphoric Recall', she worked with collaborator Andrea Volpato who co-produced, mixed, and recorded 'Jaywalker' at Fox Studio in Seattle, Washington. Since the inception of the project in 2021, MØAA has headlined tours in the United States, Europe, and the UK, performed at the official SXSW 2022 showcase, Ypsigrock Festival in Sicily, MIL Festival in Lisbon, and shared the stage with artists like Yves Tumor at Artivive Festival in Modena. Another US west coast tour took place in January 2023 with Film School and later that year MØAA headlined their own 'Jaywalker' album release tours in Texas, the East Coast, and West Coast in the fall of 2023. Europe tour starts in February 2024

“Seattle’s MØAA takes you on a trek through this dark night of the soul. In this lush number, the whispering vocals drift over dreamy pop hooks, an eerie synth-scape, and driving beat.” (Post-Punk Magazine)

“They lure the listener in with an eerie invitation to return to where you’ve buried all your darkest emotions.” (CVLT Nation)

“Jancy Rae has recently introduced her dreampop project MØAA with the notable debut single, Exist, now followed with another track and video which further exhibit the rising act's artistic vision for an alluring, gazey, psychedelic-bent sound and all-embracing tasteful aesthetics.”
