This album blends a diverse array of influences, from folk and Americana to ambient and indie..... “Change,” the lead single, explores the daunting nature of transformation and emotional complexity. Its gentle melodies and haunting lyrics encourage a profound self-reflection. Ena’s music, drawing parallels to artists like Christian Löffler, Bonobo, and Julianna Barwick, offers a layered, authentic exploration.
Reflecting on the album’s themes, ena b. shares insights into her journey of self-discovery and transformation. “Ketamine Vacation” serves as a testament to her evolution as an artist and 10-year journey as a producer, channeling her emotions and experiences into a rich tapestry of sound and storytelling. It’s an album that invites listeners to dive deep into the depths of their own psyche, exploring themes of healing, growth, and introspection along the way.
'Change’ feels particularly in homage to Alison Goldfrapp, with the swirling electronics and the personality shining through her vocals. ‘Ketamine Vacation’ is full of luscious soundscapes and textures for listeners to wrap their ears around, and ena b. could be your new favourite discovery this week.
... the mixture of acoustic and electric guitars blends perfectly with the light and airy vocals of ena b. Three minutes of lightness and a breath of fresh air. Your chill playlists are asking for more.
Melancholy in music cannot be implemented much more magnificently.
Bachinger, who began her musical studies several years ago in Jerusalem, brings together a variety of textures and styles to this immediately arresting and ultimately rewarding offering. The results are a smoky and atmospheric mid-tempo number that catches the listener’s attention both with its western-tinged sepia groove, its pop sensibility, and, most importantly, the warm, wise-beyond-her-years vocals, which at times recall the late great British singer-songwriter Kirsty MacColl.

"Make Room"
Musically the song features a mellow finger-picked, clean electric guitar paired with Verena’s subdued yet soulful and heartfelt lead vocal. Strings color the mix along with minimalist percussion and bass. Soft background vocal harmonies swell in the chorus. The sound is soft, sad and beautiful.
The atmosphere of this record is unique and the production work is polished. It was a great experience from start to finish and left us very excited to listen to aka Verena Bachinger’s next projects.
Verena Bachinger exhibits herself as a singer whose voice has something charismatic about it, a vibration that sounds more confident than vulnerable. With “Break the Hush“ the young songwriter has definitely made a really impressive debut, one that makes you want more.
