ASKERS DODGE
@Askersdodge
New Age Brit Pop combined with Glamour and Rock, makes you lift your chairs, throw them around the room and civilise yourself back to reality.
Unapologetically honest, British frontman Greg Thompson bounds around the stage. Either imparting words of satirical warning or a high voltage guitar shock, his eye to eye fixation on the audience keeps all encapsulated. Flanked by the Dutch Queen of the Bass Kiki Trijber, who keeps the cool rolling, backing vocals heavenly and hips swaying in groove. Holland's Lorenzo D'Alba brings rigidity in the setup, carefully crafting melodies, adding effect heavy layers and occasionally letting the ice melt with a firey solo or riff. Behind the collection of wood and sticks, the French drummer boy Ettore Carcano batters out the tempo of the best night out you’re to ever have, from the brash handed anguish of rock and roll, to delicately placed grooves of a vampiric love song.

NAARI
@naarimusic
New Delhi-born singer and songwriter Neeraja aka NAARI has been busy reinventing and discovering herself as an artist after moving to Berlin – reasserting the marriage of a globalised identity and her Indian roots with her debut EP under the moniker titled ‘everythingiseverything’.
Kicking off the release with samples of Indian classical warbling into three tracks of finessed melodic songwriting that’s delivered through Neeraja’s unique voice quality which shifts between gentle rasp and strained belting with ease. Featuring Amy Winehouse-inspired vocal phrasing, most notably on ‘Love is Versatile’, and giving a nod to Lauryn Hill’s song ‘Everything Is Everything’ with the EP title, the release is strongly rooted in soul but lends the genre a refreshingly raw edge and avoids the pitfall of just being a pastiche of influences.
There is an intentional quirky lo-fi quality, simplicity and lack of pomp and polish to the sound on ‘everythingiseverything’, providing Neeraja’s songs on “ideas of monogamy, social media anxiety, self-control and the inevitability of change” an intimate quality while placing her emotive messages in close proximity to the listener’s heartstrings.
