SIKA LOBI, a six-piece centered around singer Nathalie Sika Maerten, succeded in the art of recording an authentic track of life in 11 songs that neither abide by formal specifications nor observe creative limits. Fresh and bold, but with depth and perspectives, they present their debut album “life track”.
The 13 tracks reveal snap-shots along a new path on which the singer unaffectedly explores the dazzling array of life. While, for example, "Alive" allows for no standstill, tracks like “Million Years” offer calmer sounds and food for thought.
Instrumental parts in “Stillness” and “Pascal” come with convincing, pulsating grooves, aptly accompanied by spheric soundscapes. The bass clarinet frames the sound and leaves a warm.

Singer, songwriter, producer, critic, sleeper, yes, hello <3

Beginning in 2011, Andy McSean earned a steadily growing fan base as a street musician between St. Gallen and Dublin - along with the budget for his debut album "Passenger," which was released in 2014 and distributed internationally.
The second album, "Changes And Chances," was created in 2017 with the help of the "Department of Noise" producers (Seven, Marc Sway, Caroline Chevin). The singles released from it and the accompanying music videos found their way into various radio and TV stations. For one month, the song "Coming Back" was even the most played song on Swiss national radio SRF1.
Currently, new songs are being written for the upcoming EP "Wild Child." The studio recordings are planned for 2023.
 
Andy McSean is constantly "on the road" and plays around 60 concerts a year throughout the German-speaking world, as well as in Belgium, Italy and Ireland. Through tireless touring and his radio presence, this self-made artist has made a name for himself on the music scene. Live, the singer and guitarist amazes with his solo performances, where he whips up a whole band on stage with a loop station. On larger stages he is supported by his band of first-class musicians.

AKRYL - pur, schwer und verträumt.
Eine Künstlerin, die ehrlich und schonungslos von Gefühlschaos und sozialem Frust erzählt und mit ihrer warmen Stimme mitten ins Herz trifft.
Ihre Songs verlieren sich dabei sowohl in stiller Melancholie als auch in brodelnder Tanzwut.
Ein Spagat zwischen verdammt laut und verletzlich leise.
AKRYL - die einem ein bisschen was auf’s wunde Herz streut;
An manchen Tagen ist es Glitzer, an anderen Salz.
