In their blend of alt pop and electronica, indie duo BRDN (pronounced burden), combine powerful synth-structures and dreamy guitars with soft vocal sequences and driving beats. Superimposed vocals in different vocal colours lay over the music like a broken yet mesmerizing veil. Woven soundscapes take the listener to the dark side of introspection: self-doubt and the golden hunt for a purpose melt into musical fever dreams with room for interpretation. 

Live-performances are intimate, “fragile & genuine” and open a direct window into the duo’s inner workings and showcase their ability to effortlessly jump between genre and tone without losing the core quality of this eclectic project. 

Partly produced in the studio and partly in the bedroom, BRDN has been independently releasing songs since 2022, with a clear focus on a warm analog production, for both music and vocals. 

The debut EP “Ascension”, was released in spring of 2023 following the release of a couple of singles later that year. 

In 2024, BRDN expanded their discography further with the release of the slow-paced ‘Burrow’, the intimate chamber pop ballad ‘Feather’, guitar heavy indie pop song “Number 9”, danceable indietronica song “Underneath” and “Santa Maria”, a contemporary electronica production borrowing elements from slower paced techno and alt pop.

While releasing new material constantly, BRDN brought their engaging live-performance to cities in four different countries, including playing the Pinguin Radio Showcase during the Eurosonic Groningen 2024 and two headliner shows in Berlin and Milano.

Operating fully independently, the duo announced a string of releases in 2025, starting with the heavy cinematronica piece “A Vow”,  released on the 12th of February and the Dance-Pop/Trappop track “Bulletproof”. After a short hiatus, BRDN returned in early 2026 with the release of hypnotic altpop / electronica track ‘Unparalleled’ (02/24/26), marking a clear evolution in the sound and production of the duo’s sonic world.

In 2026, BRDN announce the release of their upcoming second EP titled “Maybe In Another Life” with the slow-hitting electronica / altpop song “Unparalleled”.

The second single “Havoc”, an intricate melange of bass, melancholy and poetry, was released on the 14th of April, showcasing a more technoest side of the project. 

Maybe In Another Life will be released independently on June 23rd, 2026.
