New Past

Both political engagement and artistic practice, NEW PAST gathers an ever-evolving group of creatives to wield music as a powerful tool — bringing the artists involved and listeners alike to (re)learn our global and personal pasts, and strengthen our visions for alternative futures based on self-determination, diversity, and accountability. Their debut eponymous EP brings two formidable voices into the NEW PAST constellation: Philo, the independent Berlin-based drummer and producer routinely elevating Germany’s biggest acts, and Eden, a Wisconsin-native and multi-instrumentalist whose tender and immersive music have caught ears across the US and UK. Through music that merges experimental electronics, troubling smooth jazz, compulsive rhythms, and more, this iteration of New Past weaves a remarkable musical and mythological journey to creatively interrogate how privilege influences the construction of our individual selves and society at large.
