Chamber pop, melancholy, poetry that reflects directly and hurts. Music that dances between worlds.
To Athena enables introspective and fragile treasures in Swiss German to exist alongside glittering and cinematic pop in English on one and the same stage
to exist on the same stage. Greatness is often found in the small, in the details. In the lyrics that reach out into the dark, but always let in the light. Fragility, strength and the sounds in between.
Growing up in a family of violin makers, To Athena was in contact with music from birth. A passion for string instruments,
a childhood of 80s synth-pop and an awareness of relevant topics form the amalgam from which To Athena creates her cosmos today.
Her debut album "Aquatic Ballet" was released in October 2020. In her second album "The Movie" (release date 20.10.2023), she delves even deeper into her inner world and
searches for reasons and abysses, which she distils in both English and Swiss-German lyrics.
In 2023, To Athena was honored with the Swiss Music Award in the "Artist Award" category for her work.

"a line in my skin" is KARO LYNN's third album and musically a real development from its predecessor "Outgrow". Between Daughter, Ben Howard and The National, the Leipzig songwriter moves from slow-motion ballads to pop songs full of musical gems to powerful mid-tempo numbers on new musical terrain but with the same urgency. The feather-light acoustic guitars and lilting indie beats of the first album have given way to eternally floating guitar melodies and comfortingly dark synth atmospheres - a perfect place for Karo's dark, expressive voice. KARO LYNN creates the harmony between the two albums in her solo shows, when she reinterprets her songs in a completely new way. The combination of her sensitive lyrics, atmospheric guitar sounds and unique voice creates a fascinating intensity that invites you to empathize.
