In our current climes, comfort is a rare blessing only the fewest come by. Some seek it in accumulating things, or living for work. Others find it in ignorance and cynicism towards everything that ever was and ever will be, in withdrawing into their private lives. Nikita Curtis offers a more nuanced compromise. Focussed anger and disillusionment, yes, but with a dash of resilience to carry on undeterred. What’s the alternative? What can come out of it? The debut EP “Where The Water Ends” (2024) has a clear answer: music and artistic expression as self-therapy. With their raw interpretation of the post-punk revival, this Leipzig-based quartet show that even in desperate climate conditions, every rain shower can also be seen as a respite from the daily grind. The anger here is honest, forthright. But so is the casual groove that the descendants of punk played with in the eighties - and it works. It’s the renaissance of a sound that reflects the attitude to life of a generation in transition between pandemics and wars. It’s bittersweet, sure, but also badly needed.
