Berlin bedroom-rock/post punk new solo project Jogger (aka Florian Nikolai) has revealed details of his second studio album ‘STRONG’.
Along with the announcement, the artist has also shared his new single “90s TV Show“. The 10-track record, written and produced by Jogger, will be out on November 15 through CUT SURFACE. Pre-order your copy here.
With this new album, Jogger questions common notions of strength. Instead of delivering hymnic calls for self-optimization, he delves deep into the topic of self-pity – not as a burden, but as a radical form of self-love.
While his debut album “BRD Noir” (2022) explored dark soundscapes of urban space, “STRONG” is more personal. The focus is on the question of adulthood and the contradictions of growing older, which may or may not bring with them new truths. Jogger moves skillfully between the themes of change and resistance. His music remains raw and direct, but never unfinished. “STRONG” is an album that does not want to shine perfectly, but finds a special closeness in imperfection.
Check out “90s TV Show” below, followed by the album’s artwork and tracklisting.
