ALMOST TWINS – „Hands/Trees Album Release Tour 2024“

In the organizer's words:

ALMOST TWINS - "Hands/Trees Album Release Tour 2024"

Even before they release music together, Almost Twins have become an insider tip in the Leipzig and Berlin indie scene. Within a year, the Leipzig-based indie folk band played at several festivals and clubs across Germany and recorded their debut album in Berlin with producer and bassist Alexander Binder (Anna Erhard, Dota, Crucchi Gang, Anna Hauss). In their songs, they play with complementary opposites and oscillate between subtle complexity and the charming simplicity of honest songs.

In search of sonic expansion, singer and guitarist Max Grüner, who initially started Almost Twins as a solo project, found an almost twin-like understanding in his four bandmates through their shared closeness to music. Laurenz Welten (saxophone, clarinet), Valentin Mühlberger (Wurlitzer, synth), Raphael Schuster (drums) and Arne Imig (bass) complement Max's songs in a way that gives his emotions the necessary expression without being pathetic. Warm synth carpets and circling Wurlitzer patterns combine with dreamy saxophone and clarinet lines to create a sound that feels light without losing its depth, radiating calm and yet allowing itself to break out of it. A perfect singer-songwriter's dream, reminiscent of Erlend Øye (Kings Of Convenience), José Gonzáles or This Is The Kit.
