After getting their kickstart as an ambitious art project at Stuttgart's State Academy of Fine Arts, Horizontaler Gentransfer quickly became a sensation: six female artists with a migration background who combine elements of K-Punk, spoken word performance, and art pop in their songs, building cultural bridges through their pointed lyrics - Empowerment Karaoke, as the group calls it. There are songs about being Korean in Stuttgart or on such diverse subjects as racism, butter pretzels, and Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard.

The few gigs the combo played last year at festivals such as About Pop, Most Wanted: Music or blechsonne left a lasting impression.

Their second album, "BBong" is now due to be released in March 2025 on Treibender Teppich Records and Sternengruppe.
