nówfrago is the music of Matthias Gunsch, based in Berne, Switzerland.

My debut In Love With The Blackbird was self-recorded in bed- and others living-rooms. On the album, I played most of the instruments.
Its cool to look back and listen to those innocent and unpolished songs ♡

The 2nd album Now In Common caused me quite some tension, I must admit. It was recorded in sort of my home-studio, played by my bandmates and me and mixed by Olaf O.P.A.L (the Notwist).
Music-wise, I think, I just wanted too much and somehow lost myself in transformation (or somewhere in space).

In between time, four singles had been released.

For the third record, I kind of grew up. Building my own studio was a very good thing and it has quickly become a place I love to spend time.

The third album with the crisp title We Have Found Something Everyone Has Been Longing For was released in late 2024.

Before its release, 8 singles from the album have been released.

Since my latest release I am constantly working on news songs which will be released when time is ready.

(*) nówfrago derives from the spanish word naufrago and was inspired by the book Relato De Un Náufrago by the fantastic author Gabriel García Marquez.
I know, it hasn`t anything to do with me but I liked the sound of the word.

The studio name is Livbåt Studio and and the name tells of my pathetic streak. But why Livbåt?
I thought choosing a norvegian name was a good thing plus it also refers nicely to my music name nówfrago.

If you want to get to know more (pathetic and made-up stories),
please write me a note (which I really really appreciate and will answer).
