Laura Krieg inviterer på en aften med hendes selvbeskrevne "brutalist pop"

DU BEHØVER IKKE AT VÆRE STUDERENDE FOR AT KØBE BILLET

Laura Krieg is a means of geocritical self-defence. a cold wave of brutalist pop. a drum machine a microphone and silver glitter

With “Crépuscule” I wanted to make people dance, even if they’re sad. I worked on a more ethereal and warm sound, on songs to listen to with an open heart.

I wanted to explore the imaginary of the end; build a series of images captured at the moment when everything is about to disappear.

A red sky in the desert, a diffuse character taking form but refusing to become real.

I approached the writing of the album as multiple attempts to grasp this entity, resulting in a collection of fragments.

I was inspired by classic Greek tragedy: Medea, the outsider, standing by the abysm, in the middle of the emptiness. And by postdramatic theater: Hamlet-machine, the impossibility to have a voice in the shadow of the Ghost. The omnipresence of death where we expect life.

Another idea that drove the making of the album was the “in-between”: make encounter a feeling that drives me towards the deepness and another that pulls me up, searching for transcendence. In this liminal state, explore the space between melancholy and desire.

Dancing to the end of everything. I placed the body in the center of the process, as a form of resistance:“Au milieu de la nuit, les corps sont brillants”.

Support: Torch

Torch er en dansk-grønlandsk trio fra Aarhus. De væver et billedtæppe af moderne darkwave, der er lige så fortryllende, som det er kraftfuldt. Bandets unikke arsenal af instrumenter skaber et sonisk landskab, du kan forsvinde helt væk i.

Torch henter inspiration fra gotisk post-punk, melankolsk coldwave og EBM. Fra foruroligende, længselsfulde ballader til dystre, hårdtslående anthems. Deres musik dykker dybt ind i følelsernes og resonansens rige og efterlader dig tryllebundet fra den første tone til den sidste.
