„To dive“ is just the perfect association for she dives’ music: There’s nordicly algid, yet cristal clear soundscapes growing out of Nils Bloch’s and Asger Kudahl’s efforts. They’re made out of smoothly flowing electronics, metalic twinkling guitar strings and this extra-ordinary voice. It’s all about loss and retrieval. But never about easy solutions. And for sure, the waves are closing in above the listeners’ heads.
she dives is still a very new band name. But the two Copenhageners Nils Bloch and Asger Kudahl already have, as two third of Temple, played a hugely promising European tour – followed up by a first round through Germany under their new moniker; presenting new melodical and haunting songs at eleven stages. Now they want to reach even further.
she dives’ elaborate take on this topic doesn’t stop with the music itself: All titles on Nebula are links to websites – as time passes, websites disappear, giving the song titles an expiration date… a sort of built-in obsolescence that reflects the logic of the markets.
In summer 2017, she dives are available to present their new, extra-ordinary work in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
