LUCAS LAUFEN; (AUS / DE)
Lucas Laufen makes quiet music. Originally from Port Lincoln, South Australia, he moved to Berlin in 2016 to pursue songs in a different way. A subsequent signing to Embassy of Music (Björk, Passenger, Asgéir) and multiple headline tours in Europe have kept him there. His latest record "Weathering" was produced by grammy award winner "Antonio Pulli", crossing indie folk into neoclassical borders. Somber falsetto melodies married to shimmering guitars within elemental orchestrations that yearn and plunge, endow us to stop, breathe and escape the daily noise.
A self-proclaimed purveyor of 'gentle folk' Hayfitz crafts delicate songs about the most delicate of subjects. With his recently released sophomore album, Everything Else, the Berlin based multi-instrumentalist details his complex journey of coming into his new found queer identity and all the struggles that came along with it. Now based in Europe he will be touring all across Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and Australia in 2024.
Australian born, Berlin based multi instrumentalist ‘Neighbour’ performs songs dear to his heart. Going from high energy to a soft intimacy during his guitar driven pop-folk songs, Neighbour crafts songs that focus on captivating songwriting whilst still leaving room for a laugh or two between songs.
