BOY is a Swiss-German pop duo formed by singer Valeska Steiner and bassist Sonja Glass. 'MUTUAL FRIENDS' is their debut album and with 'WE WERE HERE' they delivered a magnificent second album. WE WERE HERE finds BOY spreading their wings, exploring new textures and musical approaches while remaining true to their aesthetic. Having formed two and a half years after their original meeting - once Steiner had left her native Zurich, Switzerland, to move to Hamburg, where Glass grew up - they spent a while finding their voice, driving in Steiner’s mother’s car to low key shows, wherever they could get them, before Groenland Records signed them in 2011. All of this ensures that 'WE WERE HERE' not only confirms the reputation that BOY earned with 'MUTUAL FRIENDS', but also further underlines their flair for an intimately detailed, precious songcraft that speaks to men and women, of men and women, about singular, yet universal, moments in our lives.
Here is the heart! Hit it! But so dermassen gefühlvoll . Sowas möchte gerne bis zum Ende meines Lebens..... ja ich möchte nur noch unter Euren Beats leiden .... ihr wisst schon! Zum sterben schön ! ... und damit sind nicht mak die beiden Song-Nixen gemeint! Die Songs .... unübertreffbar!
Hab Euch heute nur gefunden, weil ich mal wieder nen Grund gefunden hatte, um "Drive Darling" zu Posten. Also vielleicht ne bessere PR machen, denn wir - kuckt die Kommentare!!! - brauchen und vermissen Euch beide. BItte mehr von Euch!
This is gorgeous. When are you guys going on tour again? Perhaps you could come to Brazil once more? I missed you guys last time, but I'd love to see you live.
Oh what a tease this was. How I yearn for more music from Boy. Sun set moon rise time doesn't heal it just goes by, without your new music to grace us peasants. Love your music I ache for more ❤❤ mi amores
Die Musik, die Stimmen , die Bilder.... Als ich mir den Text genauer angehört habe, kamen mir die Tränen. So traurig und dich so wundervoll. Wie schafft ihr das nur immer wieder? Danke!
Using strings to fill in the sound is one thing, but the quartet arrangement is so well integrated with the vocals. There is sadness and undertones of triumph. An incredible track.
