“Gorgeous mellow vibes”- Deb Grant, BBC 6 Music.
In an era where artificial intelligence is increasingly shaping the music industry, Danish artist Hannah Schneider is choosing a completely different path. On her upcoming album ‘In This Room’ (released February 27, 2026), she insists on presence, intuition and craftsmanship as the driving force in the creation of music.
To create the album, she invited a number of musicians she admires to her residency at Thorvaldsens Museum in Copenhagen. Here, the museum’s historic space became the setting for a musical experiment in which both composition and recording were turned on their heads: What happens when acoustic instruments become the starting point for modern electronic music?
‘In This Room’ – the title song from the forthcoming album is a meditation on the stories we hold, the rooms we return to, and the moments that define us — even when nothing seems to change. With this new single release, which has already received BBC 6 Music & Radio X airplay, Hannah Schneider continues to solidify her place as a singular voice in Nordic electronic music, blending introspection, poetry, and immersive production into a quietly powerful statement. Driven by active piano figures, and the distinct drumming by fellow labelmate Øyunn, the song catches the ear, asking the question- “if these walls would talk, what would they say?”.
Produced with longtime collaborator Christian Balvig (When Saints Go Machine, and arranger for BBC Proms) and featuring Efterklang frontman Caspar Clausen, Hannah Schneider’s new record see’s her in a new lane to her previous critically acclaimed solo albums, but with the same brilliance that has established her as as one of the strongest voices in Denmark throughout her career. Her music has been used extensively in film, television and on some of the largest theater stages in Scandinavia and in 2023 and 2024 she won the Danish composers prize ‘Carl Prisen’ together with the contemporary jazz duo Kaleiido, for her work on the albums “Elements” and “Places”.
As a composer, Hannah has made a strong mark in recent years, where she has created commissioned pieces for several of the essential museums and cultural institutions across Denmark. From 2016-2021, Hannah was one half of the electronic duo AyOwA, which combine noise pop with vapor wave and melodies with improvisation in an atmospheric and playful mix with a dreamy approach. The duo has received international attention with their remarkable sound and songs, and has received airplay from BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music and press acclaim from The Huffington Post, Wonderland Magazine and Clash to name a few. Hannah is also part of the performance duo Philip | Schneider, who create seductive spatial compositions and installations that engage the body, ears and mind. Starting from the voice, they explore the boundaries between the worlds of music and art.
Hannah Schneider’s new single ‘In This Room’ is out now on Copenhagen based art-pop label Midnight Confessions with the forthcoming album ’In This Room’ set for release on February 27th 2026.
