ThursdaySounds like Flora Hibberd and Interbellum
Interbellum is the project of Lebanese singer-songwriter Karl Mattar. The project blends elements of folk, noise pop, garage rock and ambient music into an idiosyncratic mix centered on Mattar’s songwriting. The first iteration of the group released the lo-fi guitar driven Now Try Coughing and played its first shows in Beirut in 2016. Sophomore album Dead Pets, Old Griefs (2018, Ruptured) expanded the project’s palette considerably, adding synthesizers, samples and electronics to the mix. Recorded with producer Fadi Tabbal at Tunefork Studios, the album was released by Lebanese indie label Ruptured to international acclaim.
The project and album have made best-of lists in the Arab world and beyond, receiving praise from publications like Gold Flake Paint, The Wire and GQ Middle East among many others. Interbellum performed at leading Lebanese indie festival Wickerpark Festival in 2018 and played over 50 shows in Europe the following year in support of the album. Interbellum’s 3rd album Our House Is Very Beautiful at Night was released on April 7th, 2023.
Flora Hibberd was born in London and lives in Paris. In 2019 she released her debut EP, ‚The Absentee,‘ through London-based indie Clearlight Records. Critics described being ’swept away by her deeply moving emotional presence,‘ (Folk Radio UK) and called Flora ‚a marvellous newcomer to the realm of indie folk.‘ (PopMatters) In september 2020 she started working with Paris-based producer Victor Claass, putting out a second EP, ‚Archipelago,‘ followed in 2021 by the short album ‚Hold.‘ Flora is currently writing her next album, to be released by US label 22 Twenty.
‘It doesn’t get any better than this, haunting, beautiful
and timeless… I can’t wait to hear more.’

Jeden Donnerstag ein Konzert mit einem Singer/Songwriter oder einer kleinen Band.
Wer aufmerksam durch Berlin stolpert hat es mitbekommen, die Stadt ist ein Magnet für junge, verrückte, talentierte und interessante Musiker. Mit etwas Glück sieht man auf der Warschauer Brücke oder in einem Kneipenhinterzimmer an einem Abend mehr Talent als das ganze Jahr im Fernsehen.
Wir wollen diesen Musikern eine Bühne geben.
Every Thursday we have a concert with a Singer/Songwriter or a small band.
It’s Berlin nowadays: The City has become a magnet to musicians from all over the world or from just around the corner. Creatvity and talent is on the street playing for small change, on the stages of open mics or maybe in the bar in your street.
The Tik has a stage for these musicians, every thursday.
