BIINDS’ atmospheric world is based on soothing vocals soaked in a luxurious trip-hop and light orchestral ambient mixture. BIINDS was founded by the German-Peruvian composer and sound designer Nicolo Sommer in 2012. The live band consisting of Nicolo, Klaas Von Karlos (synths, noise, backing vocals, live visuals) and drummer Maxx Lucas was formed in 2015. The self-titled debut album features exciting collaborations with musicians from the US, UK, Germany and Peru as well as Rival Consoles of Erased Tapes Records. Christoph Heyden, an Olafur Arnalds collaborator, produced the visual for the single “Alpha“. Christoffer Castor of viral video “Buy My Volvo“ fame collaborated with a video for the single “The Pleasure Of Finding Things Out“. BIINDS’ follow-up album “Antiphon“ features collaborations with Vessels, Aidan Baker and more. The EP “Bloodlines On Ancient Skin“ was released at the end of 2016. The single “It is I“ and a live studio session for the song “Hippopotamus“ was released in 2017. In 2018 several remixes for and by the band are being released, as they work on new material.
