March 5 brings three acts that clash and click in all the right ways aboard A38. Anika stalks the borderlands of post-punk, dub, and experimental electronics, still sharpening the raw, confrontational sound she’s been building since her 2010 debut. The British singer-songwriter turns minimalism into menace, letting basslines and deadpan vocals do the slicing, and she’s never met a reverb tail she couldn’t weaponize.
Jules War Steps Into the Light
Jules War is the intimate, emotionally dense project of Eszter Lovasi (Lovasi Eszter), arriving with the debut album The Greatest Climber on Earth. Expect hushed confessionals that swell into storm fronts, songs that feel like reading a diary by matchlight—fragile, tense, then suddenly fearless. It’s a first encounter pitched for maximum proximity and impact.
Plattenbau Goes Dark to Feel Free
Plattenbau rounds out the bill with CURSED, a blast of doom, hardcore, and dungeon synth fused into something bleak yet liberating. Their set lurches and lunges, stitching ritual electronics to wrecking-ball riffs. Three distinct worlds, one shared frequency—bring earplugs, leave lighter.
