Since then, ÄTNA have worked as a duo together with Moses Schneider who has recently helped AnnenMayKantereit to their success. With him, they find new strength. ÄTNA’s songs are gentle pop hymns in which, nevertheless, strident emotions resonate. Their first “ÄTNA”-EP (ÄTNA) caused quite an enthusiasm with critics and heaved the duo onto stages from Rotterdam to Istanbul. Hard to imagine that there will be festivals next year which do without ÄTNA’s electrifying show.
Among Germany’s most exciting newcomers, ÄTNA have already played high profile festivals at home and abroad, and have toured Russia, the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Estonia. In addition, they’ve performed in cities as diverse as Istanbul and London, and that’s not to mention their slot at the Montreux Jazz Festival this year. For a German band, this is quite something.
Like Fever Ray meeting Grimes in London's grandiose Royal Opera House, ÄTNA focus their shows around piano, with analogue effects mixed in directly, loops, effects and delays played live, and nothing automated at all. Moreover, rather than using Autotune to straighten out singer Inéz’ pitch, any vocal treatments only add depth to her striking voice.
Employing elements of dramatically different movements and genres, Inéz and Demian - a creative partnership of equals – create an avant-garde ‘work of art’ in the very best sense of the phrase. With fashion and design integrated into their music, ÄTNA wear monochrome stage costumes and deliver stunning videos, something they succinctly refer to as "making their own world". Montreux Jazz Festival or Coachella? ÄTNA’s minds are made up: both. And they’ve already played Montreux.
Brother
ÄTNA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are fighting for your right
Your load was getting lighter
That night i lost my height
You are a collector
You are collecting things
Things that'll last forever
I can understand the way
You're acting like you do
The more i fade away from here
The more you start to bloom
Can you be my brother?
Together we'd be doughty
The lyrics to ÄTNA's song "Brother" describe a relationship between two individuals where one is a fighter, fighting for their rights and carrying a heavy burden, while the other is a collector, holding onto things that will last forever. The singer acknowledges and understands their brother's actions and burdens, but also realizes that the more they fade away from the situation, the more their brother seems to thrive. There is a sense of admiration for the strength and resilience of their brother.
The use of contrasting imagery in the lyrics adds to the emotional depth of the song. The idea of someone fighting for their rights while the singer is losing their height creates a sense of imbalance and struggle. The line "Things that'll last forever, my shivering limbs" juxtaposes the idea of something everlasting with the fragility of the singer's own body. The last line, "Together we'd be doughty," creates a sense of unity and strength that can be achieved through brotherhood.
Overall, "Brother" is a song about the complexities of relationships and the importance of supporting and caring for each other through difficult times.

You are a fighter
You possess strength and are determined
You are fighting for your right
You are actively advocating for what you believe is just
Your load was getting lighter
Your burdens were becoming less burdensome
That night i lost my height
I suffered great emotional distress
You are a collector
You have a penchant for gathering and holding onto things
You are collecting things
You are amassing possessions
Things that'll last forever
Items that have an enduring quality
My shivering limbs
My physical and emotional weakness
I can understand the way
I am aware of the manner in which you behave
You're acting like you do
You are displaying your usual behavior
The more i fade away from here
As I become more distant from this situation
The more you start to bloom
You begin to flourish and bloom
Can you be my brother?
Would you be willing to form a strong and supportive bond with me?
Together we'd be doughty
As a team, we would be brave and resilient
