To dive“ is just the perfect association for she dives’ music: There’s nordicly algid, yet cristal clear soundscapes growing out of Nils Bloch’s and Asger Kudahl’s efforts. They’re made out of smoothly flowing electronics, metalic twinkling guitar strings and this extra-ordinary voice. It’s all about loss and retrieval. But never about easy solutions. And for sure, the waves are closing in above the listeners’ heads.

she dives is still a very new band name. But the two Copenhageners Nils Bloch and Asger Kudahl already have, as two third of Temple, played a hugely promising European tour – followed up by a first round through Germany under their new moniker; presenting new melodical and haunting songs at eleven stages. Now they want to reach even further.

In August she dives’ debut album Nebula is gonna be released in Denmark and the US. You might call Nebula a concept album, an important one: It’s all framed by a topic as basic and inescapable as disintegration: Musical form dissolves slowly throughout the record. It’s an impressive journey from tangible song structures towards an abstract sonic universe. An artistic mirroring of the disintegration that is such a fundamental premise for all living entities – from natural organisms to cultural phenomena.

she dives’ elaborate take on this topic doesn’t stop with the music itself: All titles on Nebula are links to websites – as time passes, websites disappear, giving the song titles an expiration date… a sort of built-in obsolescence that reflects the logic of the markets.

In summer 2017, she dives are available to present their new, extra-ordinary work in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
