Zurich duo es nervt langsam will release their debut album LG usem Loch on 30 October 2026. Zo Hug and Olivier Zurkirchen, also known as Olan!, have already shared Frou Luterbach and Atom; their official site lists Sanatorium for 9 October.

The duo works across Swiss-German songwriting and electronic, club-facing arrangements. Frou Luterbach, released on 28 August, takes therapy experiences and uncertainty as its subject, with humour alongside frustration.

A local language in an electronic setting

The album announcement places that combination into a longer format. Its relevance is not an international guest list but the space it makes for locally rooted language within contemporary production. UBWG highlighted the first single at the beginning of October. The official calendar lists an album-launch performance at Helsinki Club in Zurich on 6 November, followed by a Bern launch in December. The release itself is still forthcoming as of this report.
