Off Head is KOOB’s most unfiltered work to date — a raw, live-recorded album where everything in her mind spills into sound. There’s no polish, no pose — just thought, instinct, and pressure. Written and performed in Berlin with her band, the album captures the disorientation of modern life through the eyes of an Eastern European artist navigating distance, identity, and the weight of memory.
From the biting frustration of “Why Do I Have To Pay” to the surreal stillness of “Celestial Incident,” and the folk-rooted spring anthem “Muravoi Travoi (The Field Is Covered With Young Grass),” the record swings between the absurdity of everyday life and the slow, fragile building of trust toward the world around. “Therapist” sits at the center — not offering answers, just yelling back at the noise.
Recorded live with some of the finest young voices from Berlin’s jazz scene — Lenny Rehm (drums), Oto Gvardjančič (piano), Seth Sjöström (bass), Jarrah Dhyan (guitar), and KOOB on vocals, Off Head offers something for both the sharp‑eared jazz heads and anyone drawn to honest, genre‑blurring sound.
