Finally, new material from KC BABY. Kajsa Magnarsson and Conny Nimmersjö follow up their strong debut with a single featuring Mattias Alkberg and Insomnia Taxxi.
The band KC BABY release the digital single “Till Berlin” (‘To Berlin’), a prelude to the album to be released in May. The song features guests Mattias Alkberg and Insomnia Taxxi. The latter is a pseudonym for Iryna Novikova, an experimental musician from Charkiv, Ukraine, with a style somewhere between Nico and Sisters of Mercy.
“Till Berlin” is a song about movement – away from something, towards something. The verses are about being stuck and looking for a way out – to a friend, to another place, to a better state. The lyrics could have felt out of date. They don’t.
The album “Nästan perfekt”, which will be released on 9 May, has evolved over five years – through a pandemic, separation, war and the toddler years.
“The songs have become a soundtrack to all this”, says Conny Nimmersjö, who forms the core of the band with Kajsa Magnarsson.
“Everything that is sung is true”, says Kajsa. “The record might be a bit noisy in its form, but that’s okay. It came out that way, like so many other things.”
Guests on the forthcoming album include Amanda Werne (Slowgold) on accordion and choir.
Release date for “Till Berlin”
“Till Berlin” is released on 4 April 2025. The song will initially be released as a digital-only track, but will be included on the LP to be released later this spring.
