Meagre Martin
Berlin-based songwriter-turned-trio Meagre Martin was founded in the summer of 2021 by the African-American musician and songwriter Sarah Martin (guitar, she/her) and quickly joined by Federico „Freddy" Corazzini (drums, he/him) and Max Hirtz-Wolf (bass, he/him). Blending together elements of lo-fi and new-Americana, Meagre Martin is a culmination of experience rooted in healing, through lyricism that gives nostalgia new layers and harnesses the power of grief. Their debut "Gut Punch" (release in November 2023 via Mansions and Millions) create a sound inspired by shoegaze, 90’s indie, or 'faux country,' as the band calls it, and juxtaposes these beautifully light soundscapes with lyrics that belie the sweetness of the sound with their vulnerability and depth. Their release “Malcom” (2024) addresses financial instability and the vibrancy of lower/middle class American life. Inspired by the relatable chaos of "Malcolm in the Middle." The lyrics mirror a journey from generational trauma to breaking free. Their single “Never Thought" (September 2024) questions how well we know the people in our lives, and how our security in them can still be shaken even after years of knowing them. The chords and melodies encircle and repeat, much like the rumination of thoughts in our heads. Latest release "Up To Snuff " is from February 2025.

Elfi
Elfi ist ein junges, aufstrebendes Indie-Duo aus Berlin welches seit Ende 2023 gemeinsam Musik macht. Es besteht aus der Namensgeberin Elfi Wildgrube und ihrem kongenialen Partner Fabian Merfort. Elfis Stimme ist dabei so unverwechselbar wie Merforts Arrangements und Produktionen eingängig sind. Musikalisch bewegen sie sich irgendwo auf einer blühenden Wiese zwischen Indie-Rock, NNDW und Dream Pop. „Ich komm nicht von dir los“ ist die erste Single ihrer Debüt-EP, die in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Label Staatsakt entsteht und für den Spätsommer 2025 geplant ist.
