Milky Chance

The German duo of childhood friends Clemens Rehbein and Phillipp Dausch – Milky Chance  have risen to global fame on the back of their idiosyncratic and inventive alt-pop songs. The duo have recently announced their new album Living In A Haze, out Friday 9 June via their own label Muggelig Records.

Since choosing independence with their own label Muggelig Records in 2021, they worked with their partners at Wasted Talent, Ansatz Music Group, and Believe to build a global team of over 150 members that has delivered major success around singles like  Colorado (200 million global streams, Top 5 Alternative and Triple A) and  Synchronize (75 million global streams, Top 10 Triple A and Top 15 Alternative). Milky Chance has used their autonomy to focus on global fan development, experimenting with their approach to their music like their travel-inspired Trip Tapes, official collections of remixes, demos, and covers that originally featured as part of the soundtrack to their viral Road Tripping Radio series. Living In A Haze is the artistic culmination of their newfound freedom: Adventurous and unburdened by expectation, it courses with an undeniable energy and sense of possibility.

This winter, the duo will embark on their biggest-ever North American tour, weaving their way across 48 different US and Canadian cities with Young The Giant and 66 cities in total. These will include performances in iconic venues like New York City’s Pier 17 and Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheater.

Milky Chance’s infamous “Colorado” was given a full addition on triple j, and has just hit the Top 10 at Alternative Radio in the USA. The song also has more than 50 million global streams, helping the group place among Spotify’s 500 Most Streamed Artists.

Trip Tape and “Colorado” follow the 2019 release of their acclaimed album Mind The Moon (which NPR Music said introduced “new twists on the old concept of world music,” while American Songwriter said it “takes great leaps and lands in completely unexpected, but creatively rich, territory”) and their 2020 Jack Johnson collaboration “Don’t Let Me Down.” Watch their performance of “Don’t Let Me Down” for The Late Show With Stephen Colbert here.
