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.

Ätna Lyrics

Please let me know, cos I'd like to tell you something that i didn't dare before
Winter is almost gone and a blossom is searching its way into the light
And i will carry on until i reach my height
you are the root and i am a blossom :
Can you keep teaching me?
See, i learn as fast as i can from you (you) are my force, i admire what you do
you are the root and i am a blossom
Is there a place for us?
Please let me know cos i'd like to show you a garden that we used to know, where
The blossoms are dancing in the wind and the roots are waiting for their fruits to come
And me too shy to tell you: thank you
The lyrics of Ätna's song "Blossom" express a sense of vulnerability and a desire to grow and bloom with the help of someone else. The singer questions if there is a time and place for them, indicating a sense of uncertainty and apprehension, but also a willingness to take a risk and express themselves. The metaphor of a winter ending and a blossom searching for light creates a sense of renewal and hope, with the singer determined to continue growing until they reach their full potential.
The line "you are the root and I am a blossom" reinforces the metaphor, with the singer acknowledging the role of the other person as their source of nourishment and support. The chorus asks the other person to keep teaching them, as they admiringly watch and learn from them. The mention of a garden they used to know, with blossoms dancing and roots waiting for their fruits, adds a sense of nostalgia and memory to the song, with the singer longing to create something beautiful and meaningful with the other person, but feeling too shy to express their gratitude.
Overall, "Blossom" is a beautifully written song that conveys a sense of vulnerability, hope, and a desire for growth and connection with another person.
