PolarForest by Anja Huwe

We’re pleased to announce the new single by post-punk forerunners Anja Huwe and Xmal Deutschland “PolarForest”! A saturnine mashup of Xmal’s 1987 track “Polarlicht” and Anja Huwe’s “Living In The Forest” from her 2024 album Codes, the single reinvigorates the binding of Anja’s past to her future.

“Polarlicht” explores the enchanting beauty of the northern lights, with Anja’s vocals repetitively calling “scheine, scheine,” emphasizing the hypnotic nature of the Aurora Borealis. Contrasted with Anja’s stronger vocals of “Living In The Forest,” the theme and lyrics of the track bring melancholy and subliminal aggression and anger to the mix.

The single is accompanied by a music video which incorporates the art and dance project COAX, ARCHETYPE by internationally renowned choreographer and performing artist Rica Blunck, and multi-talented artist Nicolas Anatol Baginsky. Dive into a world of Anja Huwe’s visual art and dynamic sequences from the highly energetic COAX, ARCHETYPE show.
