ELIMAKO used to close the windows and doors when making music, she sang and played very quietly. That has changed-but her songs retain a reserved, almost shy beauty. After cover versions on TikTok, the Bamberg-born musician released her first German single "atlantik" in 2024. The melancholy, minimalist song tells the story of trying to find what has been lost and of the certainty that it is no longer there. The song is about two people who have moved on until one side realizes that they no longer fit together," explains ELIMAKO. Spherical keys and driving drums reflect the inner turmoil - between closeness and distance, movement and resignation, the realization that loss is sometimes the right path. ELIMAKO combines fragile nuances with idiosyncratic DIY productions to create intimate, touching snapshots.
