Can I Say is a three-piece alternative rock
band from Vienna, Austria consisting of
Paul Sommersguter (vocals, bass), Bernhard
Hägele (guitars) and Markus Edelmann
(drums). Over the years, the band played on
many domestic and international stages,
including a tour through southeastern Europe
in fall 2016.

The LP “In Your Arms” is the band’s very
personal, delicate debut album. It is a
soundtrack to the restless, melancholy search
for oneself and the final arrival after a long
journey. What lyrically often seems dark,
brooding and sometimes resigned, always
gets lifted up by the bright, melodic and
ambitious production. Can I Say’s modern,
complex arrangements always tend towards
catchy verses and BIG choruses.
Their debut was recorded in multiple living
rooms, an abandoned office space and at
Pure Sound Recordings studios, mixed by
Thomas Ranosz (Pure Sound Recordings)
and mastered by Horst Pfaffelmayer
(Goldchamber Mastering).

“In Your Arms” released worldwide
on December 11th, 2016 via Pure Sound
Recordings.
