Katinka Band

In 2024, the fourth album from Katinka Band will be released, produced in collaboration with Søren Buhl Lassen (Blaue Blume, Guldimund, Brimheim, Lucky Lo, among others). As the first release, the quartet launched the single 'Andensortering' on January 12.

Katinka Band, now consisting of Katinka Bjerregaard (vocals), Simon Ask (guitar), Marie Hageltorn Christiansen (keyboards, vocals), and Torben Guldager (bass), embraces the grand pop song and the liberating choruses. This approach and focus are consciously maintained by the group throughout the upcoming album.

This is evident in the debut single, where the melodic flair is carried by the natural and compelling flow of the instruments' interplay, along with the band's keen sense of composition and arrangement. 'Andensortering' will undoubtedly resonate with the group's large fan base and surely attract new followers.

The musically light and immediate tone is complemented by the lyrics, once again showcasing Katinka Bjerregaard as one of Denmark's sharpest lyricists: “I borrow the vacant nights/Hide the kisses behind your curtain/I'm fine with your leftovers, as long as your second choice is mine.”

The band shares insights about the track: “There was always a certainty that 'Andensortering' could be a pop banger. We also knew that the song should fit into the party bus and be produced in that direction. The song is inspired by Katinka's party days at university with nights out in the Inner City of Copenhagen. In there, roles are played, and significant costumes are put on when encountering each other. It's a situation at a bar where one person is waiting for a chosen one to get so drunk that they can go home together. Both have reached a point where they have gone through different stages and considerations. Who would you prefer: the right person? The role they play? Or just the leftovers? I am a big fan of a songwriter like Jarvis Cocker from the British band Pulp and the way they celebrate the type who just stands in a corner and, in certain cases, settles: 'I don't care if you screw him just as long as you save a piece for me.' And that sometimes it's entirely okay to be someone else's second choice.”

Support: Reveal Party
Emily Holm Nyhuus, the woman behind the name Reveal Party, writes songs about existing in a chaos of complicated emotions and about having to sever connections with them when they become too difficult. "Cut your feelings, like me" is her quiet advice on the opening track of her debut EP, 'You Stole a Year of My Life', which in 2020 established Reveal Party, earning accolades from both Danish and international media.

Reveal Party's inspirations draw from both painful midwest emo and uplifting pop songs, resulting in music that echoes both melancholy and hope. The songs are characterized by sharp, raw lyrics, Emily's soft yet steadfast voice, and a multitude of distorted guitars.
