THE EX (https://theex.bandcamp.com/album/if-your-mirror-breaks)
The Ex is a band resolutely focused on the future. After more than 45 years of existence and constant reinvention, it rejects all nostalgia, preferring to explore new alliances and continually take on musical challenges far from any comfort zone.

Emerging from the punk and squat movements of the late 1970s, The Ex has become an independent and unclassifiable force, performing in over 45 countries and paving the way for significant intercultural collaborations, notably with Ethiopian artists. Returning to the international stage with new compositions and a new album, If Your Mirror Breaks, the band continues to embody a vibrant, collective, and inquisitive sound—forward in all directions.

NOT A BAND (https://hiwerenotaband.bandcamp.com/album/modern-rot)
not a band is Kalina Nedelcheva, Danny Alexander, Mitchel Lohmeier, Roya Biazar, Victor Ostrovsky & Marilyn Yogarajah. A carpe diem home-recording project quickly grew into a musical ensemble of friends from different disciplines & perspectives. not a band’s sound is playfully chaotic, energetic & experimental. It draws influence from new wave, post-punk, jazz, grunge, spoken word, free improvisation & avant- garde sounds.

The group is known for its lively theatrical performances, complex scores of unexpected tonal transitions & a laid-back, collective creative direction, which can be observed in the ‘not our job’ zine, the stop-motion music video for ‘Paprika,’ our all-improv side-project ‘band’ & a forthcoming video project for our latest EP, ‘Modern Rot.’

ANDY MOOR & YANNIS KYRIAKIDES (https://unsounds.bandcamp.com/album/pavilion)
Hailing from opposite ends of the experimental music spectrum Amsterdam based Andy Moor and Yannis Kyriakides have been making music together for over 20 years now, brought together by a mutual passion for 1920’s & 30’s underground Greek rebetika music. The combination of Yannis’ remarkable compositional skills and Andy’s improvisational work with guitar, results in a loose but well structured musical landscape that constantly shifts and surprises the musicians playing as much as the audience.

It's kind of strange to listen to a band that started in 1979, and only be familiar with their most recent (2025) album.

Katherina Bornefeld said something like "we're a very young band, we only play new songs", during a concert 2 weeks ago. If I had closed my eyes, they could've fooled me, because this sounds so fresh and cool, with some very memorable songs.

A nice addition to the best of 2025 list.
