ÄTNA’s new single “Hiatus” is cementing their place as one of Germany’s most exciting new artists. With accolades from CLASH, Stereogum, and Earmilk, and standout performances at SXSW and Eurosonic, the duo has gained global recognition. Collaborations with Solomun, MEUTE, the NDR Bigband, and the BRSO Orchestra further underscore their current growth track.
The story of Inéz and Demian, who form ÄTNA, is rooted in their devotion to Dresden. While often assumed to be part of Berlin’s music scene, their distinct sound has flourished away from Germany’s major music hubs. Their previous albums, “Made By Desire” and “Push Life,” highlighted their departure from conventional German pop, offering a blend of artful sophistication. Their hooks and rhythms have established them as avant-garde musicians with a dedicated following.
“Hiatus” is driven by lush synths and flows with boundless creativity. The track combines the sunlit energy of “Summer Jam” with the groove of “Sexual Healing,” creating a musical oasis. As a preview of their forthcoming album this Autumn, “Hiatus” invites listeners to escape into its enchanting soundscape, showcasing ÄTNA’s fresh sonic direction in 2024.
