Two atmospheric musical acts join forces for a tour aptly named 100% safe for human consumption. Come to get a taste of them performing their synth and guitar driven music.
Berlin-based Atomic Fruit combines dreamy, psychedelic rock with electronic beats and immersive soundscapes. With members from Sweden, France and Italy, the group formed in 2021 after a serendipitous meeting at a SUUNS concert and their energetic live shows quickly became a frequent spectacle in the Berlin underground scene.
Their 2023 debut vinyl Play Dough recorded in the legendary Hansa Studios, introduced their eclectic mix of synthesizers, guitars, trumpet, samples and electro-acoustic percussion to the international audience as songs from the album landed on editorial playlists in Spotify, Apple Music and Tidal as well as receiving airplay on Berlin radio stations.
The attention to sonic nuances and genre-bending character of the songs, along with beautifully structured melodies will definitely appeal to fans of "alt-j" and "Radiohead". However, the band's approach to songwriting itself is unique and escapes easy comparisons. – Loudness Blog
In 2024, they returned to self-produce the sophomore album Sketches of the Moon, showcasing a more organic, introspective side of the band. Mixed by Riley Macintyre, the album draws inspiration from desert blues, noise and the soundtracks of David Lynch and blends pitch shifted vocals, reverberant baritone guitars and further experiments with samples and electro acoustic effects.
By producing independently, they experimented with original sounds and arrangements inspired by noise and electronic music. The result: an album that translates their international identity into a fascinating panorama. With the help of electro-acoustic effects, pitch-shifted vocals, reverberant baritone guitars - even the metallic twang sound of a tarte flambée shovel - Atomic Fruit craft a distinct, intimate atmosphere. Lyrically Sketches of the Moon is honest and haunting, as in songs like Once and Tongue Tied, which evoke a certain uneasiness. Released in February 2025, the album captures the complexity and simplicity of life, one song at a time, where each moment
seems eternal as we experience it, while the past feels like a surreal, fading dream. From the laid-back desert blues of Sure to the nostalgic tape sounds of the title track and the crunchy modern-lovers aesthetic of Get Along, each track brings together different memories and genres.
Following the release show in Badehaus Berlin, the album quickly attracted popularity on streaming platforms, amassing over 80 000 streams in the first month, as the band performed live on RadioEins and toured across Germany and France.
From the solo beginnings of bassist and singer Johannes Rest, Digital Carbs has become the insider tip of the Munich alt-rock scene. Their debut album “Are We Taking It Slowly”, released in 2022, recently surpassed the milestone of 100,000 streams on Spotify. It didn't take long for the Munich indie label "Schaufel & Besen Records" to take notice and sign the band. Together, they released the EP “Conform Deform” on December 14, 2023.
The band wasted no time after this release, jumping straight into the production of their new EP “Floods”. Sonically, the group presents themselves more dynamic than ever on their new work: from darkly beautiful acoustic ballads to manic, driving guitar storms, the musicians don’t hold back. While the songs could not be more diverse, they are united by a common theme: the feeling of helplessness in the face of the current global situation. Digital Carbs once prove their versatility and their ability to transform deep emotions into captivating Music.
Their new EP “Floods” was released on September 13, 2024. It is accompanied by an international tour with concert dates in Germany and Austria.
