Ilgen-Nur is an absolute exception within the German music landscape: On August 30th, “Slackerqueen’s debut album“ Power Nap ”will be released on its own label with the name“ Power Nap Records ”.

It was just a little over two years ago that Ilgen-Nur was on stage for the first time. If you look at the talent of the 23-year-old from Hamburg, it is a medium-sized miracle that it did not happen earlier. After all, Ilgen-Nur Borali is an outstanding songwriter, singer and guitarist. You could already hear it on her first EP “No Emotions”, which was released on cassette in spring 2017 (via Sunny Tapes): Songs like “17” and “Cool” are casual, casual played indie hits with tons of catchy tunes that are unexcited Line up everyday and adolescence observations.

Things start to roll: Tocotronic ask whether Ilgen-Nur does not want to support it, European tastemaker festivals such as The Great Escape in Brighton, Eurosonic or the Spot Festival in Denmark send invitations to Hamburg. Together with her homie tribulation, Ilgen-Nur covers the No Angels and “17” is picked for the Netflix series “How to Sell Drugs online (almost)”. The first own concerts in Hamburg and Berlin are sold out well in advance.
