ABOUT
CHILDREN is a Berlin-based trio that has been making music together for over four years now having been friends since childhood and growing up in the serene town of Neustrelitz. In 2011 they moved to Berlin, a city that has always been known for its pace and impossibly hipster inhabitants rushing from party to party, driven by the constant 'fear of missing out'. With the bands debut-album „Leaving Home“ Children have clearly distanced themselves from this stereotype: the record contains slow motion electronic pop music, mellow tunes for the sunrise after a long night out and bittersweet slices of dreamy summer vacation nostalgia. Even though the album, which was crowdfunded by fans, deals with childhood memories and experiences of younger days, one has to credit the city of Berlin: a record like this would probably not have been created in the solitude of Neustrelitz…
