about

CATALOG NUMBER: SPR 002-S1

Hübsch confronts the struggles of beauty perception as second-generation immigrants. The fuzzy vocals and the sparse arrangement of raw, distorted instrumentals underline the frustration of being seen as foreign in their city.

As a classically trained pianist and jazz singer, nica unfug moved to Hamburg in search of a musician who shared her enthusiasm for experimental electronic sound design. She quickly connected with the Hamburg producer flaneur2. Besides their musical preferences, the two also share a multicultural upbringing: Russian-Kazakh-German and Indian-German. This background is reflected in the themes of their songs and language. "Hübsch" is the title of their first collaborative EP, which combines melancholic vocals, experimentally atmospheric synth sounds, and hard electronic beats.

lyrics

ich seh hübsch aus, wenn ich grimmig
guck das ist mein gesichtsausdruck,
wenn du laberst und nichts checkst
und dein hintergrund versteckst

fremd und doch in meiner stadt
hab ich dein gesicht so satt
schau mal bitte nicht pikiert
hat dich noch nie wer konfrontiert?

(hat dich noch nie wer konfrontiert?)

sag mir nicht ich spreche gut
lass das mit dem übermut
frag mich nicht woher ich komm
ich weiß, du denkst das wär fromm

ich seh hübsch aus, wenn ich grimmig
guck das ist mein gesichtsausdruck
wenn du laberst und nichts checkst
und dein hintergrund versteckst

fremd und doch in meiner stadt
hab ich dein gesicht so satt
schau mal bitte nicht pikiert
hat dich noch nie wer konfrontiert?

(hat dich noch nie wer konfrontiert?) (2x)

(ahahah)

(3,2,1)

ich seh hübsch aus, wenn ich grimmig guck
ich seh hübsch aus, wenn ich sassy guck
ich seh hübsch aus, mit allen meinen
haaren danke dafür hiermit an alle meine ahnen

ich seh hübsch aus, wenn ich grimmig guck
ich seh hübsch aus, wenn ich sassy guck
ich seh hübsch aus, mit allen meinen
haaren danke dafür

ich seh hübsch aus (on repeat)
