"Nearly five years after the release of Sci-Fi Sky, Lebanon Hanover has produced your favorite soundtrack for a visit in a psychiatry clinic: Asylum Lullabies. This is the evolution of an even colder, more caustic sound by a band that has dominated the post punk landscape for over a decade. Asylum Lullabies is a very heavy album about dealing with mental health struggles, a breakup and ongoing wars and the current horror in the world ultimately leaving one consumed with dread, fear and a constant feeling of being crushed. Everything falls apart at the same time."

"Desinteresse present their first studio produced album, Onschuld, through Fabrika Records. Desinteresse is a Dutch Coldwave act formed in late 2022 as a duo consisting of Bart Vranken (bass) and Sem van den Munckhof (vocals/synth/guitar). Joppe de Swart (drums) joined in 2024 to form the current trio. Onschuld is their first true album after the release of two cassettes on their own label DECADENCE. This is Desinteresse's first studio production and experience in recording things separately; their first tape Voor Altijd was simply recorded live in Sem's attic room. Onschuld was recorded at The Lullabye Factory in Amsterdam, where Desinteresse took control of the completely analog production. Engineers at The Lullabye Factory assisted with the mixing. Recording took place January and March 2025, except for 'Grijze Dromen' which was recorded in June 2024 and released as a 7" single in August 2024. The overall approach was to create something in the same way it was done in the 1970s and '80s, hence the dedicated use of tape and instruments, effects and amplifiers that come from that era. The titles and lyrics are in their native Dutch. Most of the album's lyrics were written by Sem between 2023 and 2025, with the exception of the song 'Fantomen,' which was written by Bart."

"Jennifer Touch presents Aging at Airports on Fabrika Records. The idea for the record title came before the music even existed as Touch was spending an increasing amount of time in airports while touring. In her own words: 'It felt like I waste a large part of my life waiting for the next show to come, to entertain and perform my music and build timeless moments with others. This waiting, the slowly ticking time at the gate, was in complete contrast to what I want to do as an artist: to be in flux, to create things that will last forever. The airport, as a busy hub, was like a symbol of this ambivalence. And a reminder: every second, whether waiting or on the move, I have to accept that I am fading, that my creative power, my face, and my body are fading. As a (performing) artist, everything feels like a strange contrast. While you want to stay true to yourself and speak authentically from the soul, you are also expected to appear forever young, and powerful. Artists are often wanted to distract people, but creating this art forces me to confront my own transience. I feel the struggle to fit into this powerful artificial framework that the world has set and the desire to break free from it.'"
