KOSCHKA - The Flood
Solo debut by the lead singer of indie-electro quartet Nausica.
The Flood is the first single to be taken from her debut album, which will contain a combination of her own songs and re-arrangements of classical German songs from composers such as Franz Schubert and Robert Schumann. While KOSCHKA is not a classically trained musician, she works extremely intuitively and manages to combine her classical interests with her love of PJ Harvey and experimentation to create something gently genre-defying.
Recorded in one take, The Flood is a laconic piece of captivating piano-pop about ephemeral love, acceptance,  regret and the beautiful melancholia of being absorbed in memory. KOSCHKA elaborates, “after living in the Netherlands for almost ten years, I began missing the German language and culture. When I went back, I became mesmerised by Berlin’s spirit and started writing down everything I observed. Listening through the rich culture of classical songs and enjoying life, I began to start each day at my acoustic piano and just record instantly. No overthinking, just playing. I discovered a new way of composing; to tell relatable tales with a timeless character. Poetic, scary, uncertain, remarkable, direct, fragile and strong.”
