PETER ZIRBS

Seven years after his solo album debut — which earned him a remarkable comparison to David Bowie’s legendary “Low” from a US music critic — and following the release of his second full-length “Melancholia Beach” in 2024, multi-instrumentalist and electronic artist Peter Zirbs unveils his new single “Somewhere Else” on November 21. The track, unusually danceable for his standards, also marks his return to taking the microphone himself. After several singles featuring vocal collaborators such as former Archive frontman Craig Walker, Loretta Who, Tom Walkden, and Rob Bolland, he chose to sing this one on his own, as it’s a deeply personal song. “‘Somewhere Else’ circles that quiet urge to step outside the noise for a moment. Not necessarily to a place you can find on a map — sometimes it’s about escaping the storm within.“
