AFAR is a Berlin based music duo consisting of Elena on vocals and guitar, and Joseph on synthesizers and live hardware. Their forthcoming album stems from the misty heights of the pyrenees, hidden and sheltered within thick, old walls. The whole album was written and recorded in four winter weeks. An intense and demanding period, yet liberating and empowering. »The Refuge« is the collection of stories, the process of it is a story on its own. All tracks are touching, drifting, driving. Soft and raw voices meet between rough synthesizer lines. The result ranges from powerful breakouts to fragile moments. Honest and vulnerable, bold and brave: A true journey, a real refuge.

With »Hold Me Dear« the Berlin Electronica Duo »AFAR« delivers the fifth and last single from their upcoming album »The Refuge«. In addition to the usually dystopian or critically tinged other pieces, a hymn to love and tenderness, the intimate moments of a self-created refuge: In February, the two had retreated to the Pyrenees for the recording session. Secluded from the rest of the world, the complete album was created here in four winter weeks. A work between self-reference and artistic liberation. Unusual and honest.

The first taste of their upcoming new album »The Refuge«, which will be released this fall. Produced within four winter weeks, sheltered in the French Pyrenees, this album is AFAR's most intimate and vulnerable work to date. »All Of Yours« makes for an unconventional opening, as it is one of the few tracks where Joseph sings. Still, it's a perfect summation of the album's atmosphere and theme, and AFAR's powerful play with minimalist elements.

»Plastic Riot« is the third single from the upcoming album »The Refuge« by Berlin-based electronica duo »AFAR«. Rough pop between technoid elements and Elena's powerful, albeit dystopian tender voice. An ironic hymn to the brave new world, love beneath halogen tubes and above PVC floors. A track that is in stark contrast to its origin: in February, the two had retreated to the Pyrenees for the recording session. Isolated from the rest of the world, »The Refuge« was created here in four winter weeks, an album between self-reference and artistic liberation. Unusual and honest.

Laut & Luise is a Music Lovers Club from Berlin && Cologne

Laut & Luise releases carefully selected music on vinyl, individually touched and underlined by a special and characteristic artwork in order to give back at least some love.

Luise herself provides dance music, calm and dubby, still with a definite focus on house and techno.

Aside from the main label, our younger imprint Luettje Luise is meant to be a playground for sounds beyond genres and borders, trying to stay open-minded like daddy Ernst Jandl was.

What is the opposite of little? Lost. A new little sub by Laut & Luise, limited to nothing but a digital playback device and labeled with a mouse crafted artwork. Lost in Luise, for the digital natives and the internet explorers.
