BODI BILL

Berliner Elektro Indie Pop Institution – Zehn Jahre nach der letzten Platte reist das Kollektiv rund um den Sänger und Produzenten Fabian Fenk endlich wieder “Zurück in die Zukunft”. Mit eklektischen Sounds zwischen Indie-Folk und Electronica und den futuristischen Themen ihres neuen Albums “I Love U I Do” gehen Bodi Bill im Mai 2022 auf Tour.

Was die Band schon immer auszeichnete: die Freude am Experiment, die gegenseitige kreative Motivation, die unbedingte Neugier. Vor gut zwei Jahren haben Bodi Bill den Faden wieder aufgenommen und mit der Arbeit an neuer Musik begonnen. Seitdem sind nicht nur melancholisch-windschiefe Superhits wie „What If“ oder „Kiss Operator“ entstanden; kaum hatte die Band sich erneut zusammengefunden, löste sie ihre Strukturen auch schon wieder auf. Zugunsten eines offenen Kollektivs, das Bodi Bill weniger zu einem Trio als vielmehr zu einer Art Mind Map des Musizierens macht.

Als Knotenpunkte in einem unregelmäßig geknüpften Netz führen Bodi Bill die Energien nun wieder zusammen. Mit neu gefundener Gelassenheit werden alte Arbeitsweisen und interne Strukturen über den Haufen geworfen, fordern sie sich heraus und stellen eher Gegenfragen als Antworten zu geben. Dadurch entsteht ein gegenwärtiger Soundtrack unserer fluiden, fragmentarischen Welt.

Bodi Bill zum Einstimmen

Support: KINNSHIP

Multi-instrumentalist, producer, writer and singer Kinnship creates evocative, melodic soundscapes which have touched listeners from all points of the globe. Earnest and heartfelt lyrics punctuated by layers of warm and understated yet impactful production have resulted in millions of plays and support from worldwide radio including BBC Radio 1.

We as HEIMAT Regensburg are very proud to present KINNSHIP’s first ever concert in Germany, presenting his fifth and newest album „Intenserenity“.

30 years, 5 albums and yet just the beginning

Usually artists take a while to find and define their own style. Usually they take a while to finish their first album – or at least an EP. KINNSHIP morst certainly is extraordinary. He is just 30 years young but already published five (you heard me right: 5!) full length albums.

The Journey

His first album „Community“ was published in late 2018. The wonderful songs „Medals“ and „Call My Name“ hit Millions of plays on Spotify. A Tour was planned, then came the pandemic.

His first album „Community“ 2018, Age: 18


So KINNSHIP hit the studio and created his second full sized album „Kinnship presents: A Thousand Fibres“ – published in 2019. Working together with fellow artists he refined his melancholic and at the same time soothingly happy electronic sound, while playfully integrating influences from rap, gospel and more. Just listen to „You Say“ with Naomi Scott, „Carve Me“ with Nick Brewer or „Progress“ with Aanu.

Second Album from 2019: „Kinnship Presents: A Thousand Fibres“ Age: 19


His third album „Commensality“ starts quietly with repetetive gregorian vocals, accompanied just by flute like sounds. It slowly crescends into a canon with organ, deep bass, flute and drums into the warm and welcoming electronic soundscape of „Homingbird“. This album is more melancholic than the previous but also very comforting.

Third Album „Commensality“ from 2020. Age: 20

Another year, another album. It’s 2021, he published „Stones & Geysers“. I’m sitting here and trying to come up with any artist in the last decades to create four albums in four consecutive years. I don’t know any, do you? It’s more playful, more distinguished beats, more dynamic, more flow, happier. Sometimes jazzy, but not to much. Sometimes club, but not to much.

Fourth album „Stones & Geysers“ published in 2021. Age: 21

I know, I’m repeating myself, but what else is there to do, I got no choice. So here we go:
Another year, another album. „Intenserenity“ is a masterpiece. It’s almost ridiculous.

Kinnship’s musical journey took five years until now. Five years, five great album you can get lost in. This is art, this is extraordinary. Let’s hope, it’s just the beginning.

You really don’t want to miss this concert at HEIMATRON 2022!
Presenting tomorrow’s music today is our MO.
