Karlmennsku- og kynþokkatríóið „Dætrasynir“ spilar kántrýslegin rokkabillípopplög undir sterkum áhrifum frá „Ennio Morricone“ og „Lúdó og Stefáni“.

Frumburður hljómsveitarinnar, sem hefur hlotið nafnið „Á ferð og flugi“, er kominn út og fjallar fyrst og fremst um flókið samskiptamunstur kynjanna og er þar af nógu að taka.

Meðlimir eru Baldur Ragnarsson (Ljótu hálfvitarnir, Skálmöld, Innvortis), Flosi Þorgeirsson (Ham, Otto Katz Orchestra) og Loftur S. Loftsson (Hraun, A band on stage). Ljóst er að bandið spannar marga ættliði og hefur þar af leiðandi breiða og góða innsýn inn í samskipti kynjanna. 

Þessi innsýn kemur berlega í ljós í lögum plötunnar og má þar nefna sem dæmi lögin „Hrein mey frá Heimaey“, „Ástarævintýri við Öskjuvatn“ og „StykkisHólmfríður“.

LA singer-songwriter Greg Laswell has a rare gift for employing metaphor, mystery and honesty with equal acumen. Indeed, those that have spent time with his music over the years have had the distinct privilege of sharing profoundly personal moments with him – even as he left just enough open to interpretation.

Yet when he reimagined songs by the likes of Kate Bush, Kristin Hersh, and Echo & the Bunnymen for his 2009 album Covers, he revealed something else entirely by means of divulging his own most essential musical influences. A decade later, he is revisiting that undertaking with Covers II – which finds him this time communing with Depeche Mode, PJ Harvey, The Verve, even Peter Gabriel.

His 2018 album Next Time, which Popmatters said “brims with introspective imagery,” was arguably his most accomplished to date. But it was 2009’s Covers that still seemed like so much unfinished business. So, Covers II could not be coming at a better time, to reignite the dialogue about those that have influenced him and continue to do so.

Lasse Matthiessen reinvents himself - from a singer-songwriter who could have happily followed in Nick Drake's footsteps, the Dane transforms into an organic electro-indie-pop act who, with his remarkable deep, knowing vocal, conjures up hyperrealistic moments of the human experience.

Lasse has demonstrated his great songwriting talent with his previous releases - while he wrote contemplative indie folk to perfection on his first albums and concentrated on reduced arrangements, he retired for the EP "When We Collided" from 2017 back to darker pop realms.

The single of the same name “When We Collided” from 2017 developed into a sophisticated underground hit: the song was streamed more than 900,000 times, was featured in the New Music Friday Germany & Switzerland playlists, and its electro-folky DNA was considered Lasse Matthiessens from then on signature sound.

In 2021 he took a first step towards transforming to the more electronic, darker side. With the EP "Coordinates Remain" Lasse Matthiessen discovered a new keyboard of the sound landscape for himself: powerful, filtering basses create an atmosphere as if you were dancing empty and still high from the emotions of the night in front of a Berlin club on the steps, while the sun rises. The move from acoustic guitar to sophisticated synthpop began.

With his upcoming new album ’Dreams’, slated for a winter 2022 release, he deliberately crosses the border to electronica with complete assurance. He composes shimmering indie pop with organic synths, electronic beats and velvety basses that lives and dances in the nocturnal streets of Europe.

Lasse Matthiessen is Danish, lives in Berlin and has toured almost everywhere in Europe. He has performed at various festivals and played as support for Clueso, Anna Calvi, Glen Hansard and Suzanne Vega.
