Blauerosen

The sound of the beginning of 2026 is one that feels at odds with the global energy of shock and terror that is unveiling. Whether through landscape-inspired soundscapes or driven by an excitement for sonic experimentation that sees no boundaries, the bands that make up the soundtrack of this month are definitely worth your attention. A special mention is due to Backengrillen for releasing one of the bravest albums we will probably hear this year. Merging punk with free jazz, this band does not see any boundaries between genres; instead, it breaks and blends them to create a new sound in the spirit of the punk bands of the 80s.

We also welcomed the release of the new album by Bragolin, a post-punk band loved around the world. Building on the success of their signature sound, the band has offered another dancefloor pleaser album, and we can’t wait to listen to it live at some point. Finally, we really enjoyed the new album by Blackwater Holylight, which is full of psychedelic rock magic!

We hope you enjoy this playlist as much as we did making it, and no matter what you do, do not buy into the global hysteria of terror that is being spread!
