Three magical productions push the boundaries of pop and rock in an evening, sometimes with a hard, drifting, passion, sometimes with a charming atmosphere and sweet nostalgia.
Tenger
As a culmination of a solo project (Kundóri), a band called TENGER was started, who - according to their own confession - are looking for lights in the dark. Their debut single, Hear Me Calling, debuted in June 2021, followed soon after by the debut album Glowing, which became an emotional, serious, yet light-hearted post-rock material. The album was well received, and several media outlets, Recorder and F21, wrote about it as one of the most important releases of the month:
With an epic tone, accentuated guitars, and wide-ranging song structures, he dazzles with his adventures between Sea’s debut album, serious prog rock themes, and the more emotional tones of the immaculate female vocals. - F21
Their introductory concert was held at the Waldorfest, and their first performance in Budapest was at Instant, as a guest of The Pontiac. In early 2022, a solo concert was given at the Simple Garden. Their second album was released in May and was released as a double album entitled Glowing / Darkness.
Selina Martin
Raised on a farm in the Ottawa Valley, now based between Toronto and France, extraordinarily acclaimed Canadian songwriter Selina Martin pushes the boundaries of pop, rock, singer/songwriter, punk and experimental music while writing incredibly hooky pop songs.
According to Rokline Magazine, Martin can be “...compared to groundbreaking female songstresses whose art has transcended the usual Rock-Star / Pop-Diva template of popular music, icons such as England’s Kate Bush, Lene Lovitch, and Iceland’s Björk”.
Claudia Buzzetti and The Hootenanny
Folk/indie band from Bergamo (IT), born in 2019 starting from some Claudia's songs kept until then in the drawer.
After a permanence in USA where Claudia played some live shows in 2019, they published "7 Years Crying" ep, release by Edonè Dischi Label.
The biggest influences are from jazz and american folk music, such as Gillian Welch, Norah Jones, Sierra Ferrell, Daniel Romano, that meet eachother in the classic pop song.
It's a sweet colored atmosphere supported by vocal harmonies and a bit of nostalgia.
