Because

Brandt Brauer Frick is a German music group that was founded in 2008 in Berlin. Known for their unique blend of electronic and classical music, the trio has carved out a distinct sound that sets them apart from their contemporaries. Drawing inspiration from artists such as *Isolée*, *Pantha Du Prince*, and *Robag Wruhme*, Brandt Brauer Frick's music combines intricate rhythms with rich melodies to create an immersive listening experience.

With influences ranging from techno to jazz, the group's innovative approach to composition has earned them critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. Their live performances are renowned for their energy and creativity, often featuring a combination of traditional instruments and electronic elements. Collaborations with artists like *Nathan Fake*, *DJ Koze*, and *Henrik Schwarz* have further showcased their versatility and willingness to push boundaries.

Brandt Brauer Frick's discography includes several acclaimed albums, including "You Make Me Real" and "Miami". They have also released remixes for notable acts such as *James Holden* and *Matthew Herbert*. With each release, they continue to evolve their sound while staying true to their experimental roots. Whether you're a fan of electronic music or classical compositions, Brandt Brauer Frick offers something truly unique that will captivate your ears.

'Joy' is Brandt Brauer Frick's fourth album and the first one to be truly vocalist-focused and song-centric. With the help of Canadian poet-singer Beaver Sheppard who played an prominent role the composition, Brandt Brauer Frick explore what the band-members describe as 'post-religious' themes, such as struggling to find joy in times of uncertainty and instability. This makes it without any doubt Brandt Brauer Frick's 'Nietzsche album'. Following on from their latest album 'Miami' (2013) Brandt Brauer Frick keeps moving away from the dark mood of their early releases and the image of a 'classical new music ensemble' to resemble more closely an 'experimental rock band'. With much more grit and growl than before, they draw upon genres and styles that are not conventionally associated with joy: krautrock, punk, drum'n'bass, indie rock, new wave, and pretty much every other 'wave' from the 80s. With each track offering a contrasting combination of styles and genres, Brandt Brauer Frick succeed in devoting a whole album to a single feeling without making it either monotone or cliche. Instead, they build on euphoria to expand and enrich electronic music's emotional range with new textures. More than an album, it is an emotional journey.
