Hagen Brüggemann Drops Double Single “Riding On The Waves / Lost In You”

Hagen Brüggemann releases his final double single, “Riding On The Waves / Lost In You,” following the previous singles “Hold On Me / Seizure.” The songs are taken from the full album, Dysthymia, due out on September 5, 2025.

With his fifth and final double single, the Hamburg-based musician offers a last taste of his debut album Dysthymia. Both tracks impress with their acoustic alternative sound and highlight the album’s stylistic range.

“Riding On The Waves” is a dreamy, psychedelic-tinged song that explores ignorance of outside intervention. “Lost In You” is a tender love declaration wrapped in raw grunge sounds. Both songs showcase Brüggemann’s ability to blend singer-songwriter depth with unpolished rock aesthetics—building anticipation for the full album.

Dysthymia is an intimate journey through the years 13 to 25 in the life of Hagen Brüggemann – told across 21 songs filled with loneliness, rejection, heartbreak and the defiance of refusing to conform.

Musically, the album blends grungy guitar riffs with unconventional harmonies. Despite its 78-minute runtime, the album remains varied and offers a raw sonic landscape that shifts between fragility and rage. Each track is a slice of lived experience – sometimes quiet and vulnerable, sometimes loud and unrelenting – but always uncompromisingly honest.
