RIKA BENDER – “Blood & Concrete”
Black Light
RIKA BENDER
“Blood & Concrete”
Album (K22 Music)
From Freiburg comes Rika Bender, one of the most exciting voices bridging post-punk and new wave. Her debut album, “Blut & Beton,” blends cool synthesizers, driving basslines, and distinctive guitars into a sound that’s both danceable and uncompromising. The nine songs explore self-determination, resistance, and vulnerability, all while retaining a sense of lightness. Particularly impressive is her distinctive style, which runs consistently throughout the entire album despite audible influences. Sometimes melancholic, sometimes powerful, but always with a knack for strong melodies and catchy hooks. A strong debut!
