Berlin-based Band, Rikas Drops Sophomore Album ‘Soundtrack For A Movie That Has Not Been Written Yet’
Rikas, a Berlin-based four-piece formed through deep friendship, is known for their breezy alt-pop sound, anthemic choruses, and a collaborative songwriting approach where each member shares equal footing. Their sophomore album, Soundtrack For A Movie That Has Not Been Written Yet, reflects their experiences on the move, written in Berlin, Los Angeles, and Amsterdam with Benny Sings. The album delves into themes of motion, capturing the restlessness and camaraderie that comes with constant travel, while also exploring a sense of brotherhood that binds them together through it all.
Following the success of their debut Showtime and two EPs, Rikas’ new album promises to be their most cohesive and contemplative work yet. With 11 tracks that combine tight tempos and mellow delivery, Soundtrack For A Movie That Has Not Been Written Yet showcases their growth as a band, blending themes of movement and reflection in both their music and visuals. The album stands as a powerful testament to their journey, both musically and personally, as they continue to evolve together.
Soundtrack For A Movie That Has Not Been Written Yet is Rikas’ most cohesive and reflective album to date, featuring 11 tracks that blend tight tempos with a mellow, introspective delivery. The opening track, “Bike In LA,” captures the band’s experience in Southern California, contrasting the car-dependent world of Los Angeles with the walkable city life in Berlin. It reflects the patience required in both their artistic journey and personal growth, as they learn how to navigate new experiences and environments. The album explores themes of motion and self-discovery, with each song offering a snapshot of their evolving sound.
One standout track, “Passenger,” was written late in the recording process and helped tie the album together. It reflects the band’s unpredictable yet rewarding journey, capturing the feeling of transition and artistic realization. As Rikas prepares to release the album, they are also gearing up for a European headline tour and festival appearances, feeling refreshed and ready to embrace whatever comes next in their musical journey.
