East Sister turned my head, always sounding both edgy and sweet at the same time. The two singers on guitar and synths write songs that are often smooth yet always unconventional, and surprise you with experimental twists and twirls. Satisfying sounds are also coming from a bassist with a faible for old machines which he also shares with their drummer who is incredibly busy in the most tasteful way. Which means that even if you don’t understand anything about music it’s great to just watch them operate mysterious gadgets and throw around kitchen towels and little chains with bells. How can they sound so nonchalantly held together, jumping effortlessly from song to ecstatic improv-explosions while underneath it’s always tightly grooving, as if they’re secretly communicating or following an underlying code? I hope I’ll never find out.“

siblings band in progress, Julien Dinkel and Lorraine Dinkel unite every now and again to bring you sonic sparkles from head to toes in the most surprising settings. having roamed over Switzerland Europe as a backing band for their idol Ryan Power (US), written music for food (with the collective Domingo), improvised soundscapes with artist Jessy Razafamamdimby or built wooden shacks in an art gallery (Topic) and so on, nothing seems out of reach for this mysterious duo: just come up with a good idea and they sure will be down to try it just for the thrill of experimentation.

Chansons de chambre à coucher sur fond bleu, rêves absurdes et mémos retrouvés dans la mémoire d’un téléphone perdu. Lorraine92 explore en solitaire les terrains vagues de sa psyché par l’écriture automatique, portée par une affection pour les vieilles machines, l’esprit DIY et les harmonies bizarres.
