After ten years of musical mischief, Naud has finally dropped anchor, or rather taken flight, with Un Gars Bian, an album that feels like a hug from an old friend and an impromptu dance party all at once. This high-energy, genre-mashing adventure blends alternative pop, electro, funk, and whatever else Naud felt like throwing into the mix. Think Marseille’s “joyous chaos” bottled up into soundwaves, bursting with playful unpredictability.

Leading things off is “Déjà Vu,” a sweet-and-sour love song about a romance that spanned across Europe but never quite took off, kind of like booking a first-class ticket to heartbreak. It’s got just the right mix of experimental vibes and catchy pop magic to make you groove while overthinking your past relationships.

The album title, Un Gars Bian, is a cheeky play on words, merging Marseille (city in France) slang for “seagull” (gabian) with “un gars bien” (a nice guy). It’s basically Naud in a nutshell: a free-spirited, big-hearted artist who wants to spread good vibes, reckless creativity, and a touch of joyful madness. And if that wasn’t enough, he’s also launched an Un Gars Bian t-shirt line, because what’s better than wearing your philosophy on your sleeve, literally? Grab yours here!

So, are you ready to embrace the joyful chaos? Un Gars Bian is the perfect excuse to dance like nobody’s watching and live life with a little more mischief. Let’s gooo!

2AP – Two Alien Planets Find Beauty in the Noise with “Sweet Harmony”

Published

What if the world isn’t too loud… what if it’s just your head?

Brno-based duo 2AP – Two Alien Planets tackle that familiar feeling in their new single “Sweet Harmony”: a warm, guitar-driven alternative track about finding your way back to the present when your mind refuses to switch off.

It starts with a bright guitar riff and Lenka K.’s airy soprano, sounding almost like a breath of fresh air. Then the song begins to expand. Guitars gather momentum, the rhythm lifts, and Jarek H.’s warm baritone joins the picture.

By the final chorus, it’s no longer one voice trying to quiet the noise. It’s two voices finding their way through it together.

And that’s where “Sweet Harmony” really hits.

The lyrics balance simple, beautiful things — wind, sunshine, rain, a strand of hair in the breeze — against a much less peaceful inner landscape: a “stormy brain,” angry birds and snakes of grief.

There are no wellness clichés here. No promise that everything suddenly becomes fine.

Instead, the song suggests something more realistic: maybe the beauty is already there. We just have to hear it.

Musically, 2AP blend the melodic warmth of alternative pop-rock with a cinematic indie atmosphere. It’s dreamy without drifting away, emotional without becoming gloomy, and driven by the chemistry between Lenka’s soprano and Jarek’s baritone.

Think 90s/2000s alternative warmth meeting contemporary indie songwriting, with enough guitar to keep things moving and enough space to let the lyrics breathe.

The artwork captures the same tension: warm flowers behind a dark fence. Beauty on one side. Something getting in the way on the other.

“Sweet Harmony” doesn’t ask you to tear the fence down.

It just asks you to look through it.

3:42 of dreamy guitars, two voices, and one very restless brain.
