LNA + Andrea Tichy

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

If she were a doll, she would be the weird Barbie: LNA (pronounced like DNA) intertwines elements that seemingly have nothing in common with her powerful yet delicate voice, creating a fascinating universe in which indie, electro-pop, and elements from film music come together.

The sound of the artist, who mainly produces her own music, is somewhere between Sylvan Esso and Radiohead and, with a captivating mix of catchy basslines, organic samples, and driving drums, likes to defy the usual genre clichés. At the same time, it leaves room for her voice, which she uses like an instrument. Paired with intimate, narrative songwriting, LNA hits a sweet spot where the attentive complexity of themes such as feminism and coming of age culminate in a playful, almost simple listening experience that nevertheless grabs you deep inside: this artist makes her hard work sound damn easy on the ears.

LNA brings it all to the stage as a duo with live drums and a smorgasbord of effects devices and instruments that are still unusual in pop, such as the transverse flute. She thrills audiences with her uniquely honest and danceable live performances at venues such as the Reeperbahn Festival, c/o pop, and as the support act for MEUTE, Novaa & Mayberg, among others.

Just three weeks before the release of the new album, LNA will be performing her new songs at an exclusive concert at the Kulturhaus Insel in Berlin. Set in picturesque surroundings on Insel der Jugend, off the riverbank of Treptower Park, you can expect much more than just a concert: A walk to the island (starting at Treptower Park S-Bahn station) will be accompanied by various activities (bring your friends!), there will be a small supporting program on the island itself (get there on time!), and Andrey Tichy will open the stage program before LNA’s set.

Anger can be quiet, soft voices can be loud, and not everything that makes us sad is bad. In her early releases, Andrea Tichy sings about her own contradictions and the overwhelming power of emotions. The indie-pop artist draws inspiration from experimental, folky soundscapes à la The Japanese House, and catchy melodies reminiscent of acts like Holly Humberstone. Her music sits somewhere between glitch folk and indie pop—acoustic guitars and playful arpeggiators. Organic and electronic elements complement each other seamlessly, creating a folk-esque intimacy with a modern twist—distorted natural spectacles and human interactions—naturalness in the context of a postmodern world. Andrea is currently working on her debut EP, ‘How The Fck Does Water Sound?’, a declaration of love for folk music, pop anthems, and radical oversharing.
