Black Sea Dahu

Black Sea Dahu are Janine Cathrein and a tight-knit gang of musical cohorts, based in Switzerland.

From their early days as JOSH, with The Kids of the Sun (2012) and Kingdom North (2014), to their ocean-deep breakout debut White Creatures (2018), they’ve refused to color inside the lines. With the haunting No Fire in the Sand EP (2019), the widescreen I Am My Mother (2022), the follow up Orbit EP and their first live album Live in Zürich and Bern (2024), this Swiss outfit has carved a niche for themselves beyond genre.

They’ve played numerous stages across Europe and were invited to Reeperbahn (2018/2022), The Great Escape (2019), m4music (2019), MaMA (2019), Eurosonic (2020), and Montreux Jazz Festival (2024). They’ve shared bills with the likes of Ben Howard, José González, Lucy Rose, Agnes Obel, and drawn comparisons to Jeff Buckley, Big Thief, Phoebe Bridgers and Bon Iver.

Their next album Everything (out 20.02.2025) is looming on the horizon.
