Today, Milky Chance — the billions-streaming German duo of Clemens Rehbein and Phillipp Dausch whose adventurous alternative pop has helped them build a global cult following — share Sadnecessary Acoustic, an all-acoustic recreation of their 2013 debut album. Almost a decade ago Sadnecessary cuts like “Flashed Junk Mind,” “Down By The River” and especially “Stolen Dance” — which hit #1 on the Billboard Alternative Chart and is well on its way to over 1 billion global streams — helped the band break out on the international stage, earning them platinum certifications around the world and festival slots at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo and ACL. Now, these new acoustic versions are evidence of a band creatively freed of expectation.
