Head Borders is the debut album of international ensemble The Young Immigrants. This album was recorded in September 2020 and over time has become an almost two year working process that resulted in several collaborations with different electronic producers such as Lithuanian sound painter Kojos Sopa, Swedish bassist and sound designer Joel Henryson and Danish producer and drummer Simon Mariegaard.
The narrative and intention of this album’s music is an ambiguous reflection on today's world and present human experiences. It is expected that this music evokes thoughts and activates imagination about certain topics that are also suggested by the titles of the pieces.
With influences from hip-hop, jazz, psychedelic rock and classical, the music fluctuates between obscure soundscapes, vivid daydreaming soundtracks and outbursts of intensity which draws you into an immersive experience.
* Make sure to listen on speakers or wear headphones and have the right volume for the full immersion.
