I am so happy to announce that on April 12th I will present my new album on Eco Vinyl & Bandcamp! 📣 (and on April 17th it will be yours on all streaming platforms)

Alternative electronic music that’s both introspective and energetic, atmospheric and danceable. With this album, I explore the cycle of change and the journey from vulnerability to strength. It’s infused with nature metaphor and feminine energy — a discovery of the wild woman within, connected to the earth. 🌿

Come listen and dance during the live show at EdanZ Groningen (Netherlands) with special guest DJ Ramon Richie! 🪩

How much microplastic do residents of Groningen disperse from their own clothes? And what interactive ways can help educate younger generations about sustainable clothing choices?

Barbro Melgert conducts interdisciplinary research that is also an awareness campaign.

Everyone from #groningen #thenetherlands: I will be playing a show with Thistle Sifter in Simplon this Thursday!! See you there?

Tickets: https://simplon.nl/events/up-thistle-sifter-kayleigh-beard/

"Kayleigh Beard is een producer en one-woman-band uit Groningen die alternatieve elektronische pop maakt met dreamy baslijnen en stevige beats. Haar muziek is zowel introspectief als energiek, en zowel atmosferisch als dansbaar, gedragen door ruimtelijke zang en rijke synth-lagen."

"Thistle Sifter is het cinematografische post-rockproject van de Engelse muzikant Pete Barnes (Utrecht, NL). Na een ernstig fietsongeluk in november 2020, dat zijn leven volledig ontwrichtte, werd Thistle Sifter voor Barnes een platform om zijn persoonlijke worstelingen en emoties te uiten. Met zijn muziek neemt hij luisteraars mee naar een etherische wereld van serene post-rock, ruimtelijke synth-ambient, zich ontwikkelende soundscapes en lo-fi folk."
