Odd Beholder's "Honest Work" is album of the week at radioeins

Odd Beholder's new album "Honest Work" is out now for a week!

"Honest Work" is dedicated to the stories of working people. In ten tracks, Daniela Weinmann condenses the impositions of modern working life and reflects on a society in which closeness, privacy and authenticity are commodified. The album tells of frustration with unfair working conditions, ecological crises and emotional loneliness. It tells of exhaustion, anger and pressure, and of the lives of those who try to find their way in it and not lose their dignity – and who are likely to fail.

The tracks draw on electronic music from the nineties, including trip hop, drum 'n' bass, 2-step garage and industrial. Complemented by the introspective power of singer-songwriter role models such as Aldous Harding and PJ Harvey, beat and bass are at the heart of "Honest Work", lending the music a new directness.

💿 The LP comes on recycled black 140g vinyl in a black deluxe poly-lined inner sleeve. Includes a folded A2 poster with lyrics. Get it under: https://shop.sinnbus.de/products/odd-beholder-honest-work-lp-recycled-vinyl

Vienna-based musician and performance artist Mira Mann releases "Touch Me I'm Sick" today. Listen to here: https://bfan.link/touchmeimsick

It's the next song from a series, in which Mira brings hits from the 80s and 90s into the present, reflects herself, her time in them and documents what comes back.

For the fifth part of the series, Mira is collaborating with TSOUNGUI. As one of the most distinctive voices of a new generation of drummers, producers and composers, Philo Tsoungui works with artists such as The Mars Volta, or Paula Hartmann. As TSOUNGUI, she works as a producer and, through her own interdisciplinary projects, demonstrates her unique, cross-genre approach to sound, performance and production.

"Touch Me I’m Sick", inspired by Mudhoney’s song of the same name, is the first track to emerge from this collaboration. "Touch Me I’m Sick" is also part of the current exhibition at Lothringer 13 in Munich, which Mira has curated as part of the "Antifascism: Now" series as a monthly programme. Mann focuses on illness, disability and artistic practice. The piece can be heard in the exhibition space via headphones.

Avantgarde pop trio Painting gives AI a human voice on their recent album "Snapshot Of Pure Attention", and lets other artists speak now through a new series of remixes.

The third collaboration features EERA, the project of Berlin-based Norwegian artist Anna Lena Bruland. As for her approch, EERA explains: "I was drawn by to this song because of the repetitive vocal lines and words. I wanted the vocals to be the main focus. I stripped it all back and used the rhythm of the voices to create the whole track."

New Odd Beholder song "Focus Disease" is out now! Listen here on your favourite platform: https://bfan.link/focus-disease

"Please, Doctor, I want to be able to work in peace instead of having to think," pleads the protagonist in the song "Focus Disease"; she wants an ADHD diagnosis, wants to stop dreaming, to function, to obey. Constantly monitored and forcedly entertained, someone here is trying to buy back their attention with the help of medication, would rather be declared mad than keep scrolling – where is the handle, the button, the way off this merry-go-round of the attention economy? And how does that trick work that makes it bearable to endure the multiple crises of present time, and the cynicism of the status quo? Perhaps an answer can be found at the pharmacy.

Finally „Internet Famous“! What musician wouldn’t want to go viral? 🤳🏻💎 Odd Beholder’s new single kicks off with a busy signal on the phone and launches straight into an electro-glam track in the vein of MGMT. Maybe this time fame will finally work out?

The song tells of the infrastructures of fame and reach. It deals with the neo-colonialism exercised by large digital monopolies (Google, Meta, Apple, Amazon, you name it).
