publication · 2026-10-21

Mould have released their debut album, "Hoping As A Coping Mechanism," a record the band frames around optimism. The album runs 13 tracks across 35 minutes. Jörg Tresp wrote the kulturnews.de coverage of the release. The same site's music section also carries Louisa Schumacher's piece on Giant Rooks discussing their new album as an act of rebellion through hope, and Matthias Jordan's article on Shabazz Palaces returning with a comeback that carries a stance. MS Dockville marks its 20th anniversary with discounted U25 tickets tied to the birthday. Dust Bolt are promoting a new EP intended to shake up their genre and restore its relevance, with a ticket giveaway for their tour as the hook. Fenne Lily's new record "Win Win" is described as comfortable, like a warm blanket, despite a sudden breakup she went through after her previous album. The Wombats are touring for the 20th birthday of their debut album, "A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation."
