Internet Baby – „Crashing“ + Exclusive Interview

1. Hello, thank you for your time, please introduce yourself in a few words!

Hey, thanks for doing this with us. 🙂 We’re Lasse and Finn from Internet Baby based in

Hamburg, Germany. We make ‘new wave indie pop’ by mixing 80’s synthies with funky basslines and catchy vocals.

2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!

We released ‘Crashing’, our first single out of three from our upcoming EP ‘Desert Daydream’, on the 4th of March. We actually did a super cool video for that song; you should definitely check it out. It’s a very exciting phase for us because it’s the first time that we’ve reached a bigger audience and the feedback so far has been overwhelming. The upcoming single ‘Losing Sleep’ is one of the most personal songs that we’ve done. It’s a vibey late night drive track. It will be released on the 15th of April and for the first time ever we’ll be doing the video for it ourselves. The whole EP with one focus track will be released at the end of May.

3. Name 5 things we all should know about you as a band?!

We are two brothers

We have been making music together since we were able to hold a guitar pick and drumsticks

We started out as a rock band

We produce everything ourselves

We always try to collaborate with different artists to combine music, fashion and art

4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?

Fred Perry (please sponsor us)

Jean Paul Gaultier

The clean tennis look mixed with a little bit of enfant terrible.

5. What’s your song writing process?

We have different processes all the time. Most of the time I start with an idea on the guitar or piano then edit it in Ableton and write / produce a demo – then we take it to our rehearsal room, but it could also go the other way round and start during a practice session and then we edit it in the software.

6. If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?

I think the first thing we would change would be the level of shares from streaming services.

7. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?

The songs on this EP are mostly about self-doubt and the depression that I was going through at the time. When we wrote those songs, I was pretty hard on myself, I was going through a major depression followed by a break up. So the songs are mainly about self-doubt, mental health issues and heartbreak… a tasty cocktail…

8. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls

Question: What kind of impact would you like to have/ what do you want to achieve?

We would like to do bigger collaboration projects combining music and art. To be able to do crazy stage designs and blend our music even more with fashion, film projects and interactive art.
