P for Pepsine is completely DIY. A tiny solo orchestra from Lucerne, Switzerland. Everything out of one hand. His latest release «11/23 - A Broken Heart Fixing Kit» shows once again that repetition is not necessarily one of his strengths. But all the more so is the consistency of his own productions. From the first song sketch to the recordings to the artwork: Pepsine literally lives the DIY concept. The distinctive vocals, Pepsine's typical songwriting and a certain nonchalance characterise the Lucerne native's songs in particular. And, of course, the combination of analogue instruments and digital gimmicks. Boundaries are often blurred and explored as long as the song remains at the centre and can unfold. With Pepsine, you never know exactly what you're going to get: catchy singer-songwriter gems or more dark and gloomy introverted, electronic-tinged songs that only reveal their full beauty after several runs. But one thing remains constant: Pepsine always celebrates a very unique mood in his songs and thus delivers a unique listening experience. His productions are usually created in his home studio or in combination variations at different locations. And this is unmistakably reflected in a certain intimacy in his songs. This is how pop music with an individual character is created. On his latest album «11/23 - A Broken Heart Fixing Kit», Pepsine stages a true story and melancholic firework, which lives from endless dreams, longing, love and
fate.
