Pop! Yep, pop! Because the songs by Lonely Drifter Karen really do stand out. Also on the new, third CD ‘Poles’ (as ever, on the alert Crammed-label.)

Lonely Drifter Karen is still the product of Austrian singer Tanja Frinta and Spanish keyboard-player Marc Melià Sobrevias. This time they're completed by French guitarist and multi-talent Clément Marion.
Add to that: live percussion and machinary as '4th man'. Then you come close to the exquisite sound of Lonely Drifter Karen, with their 'analog electronics, Asiatic arpeggios, sliding bass-synths, sinuous guitar riffs and funky grooves.' Basically: with their fine, intriguing songs.
For those who are also mad about tUnE-yArDs, for example, but maybe prefer a little more melody?
 
At the Feeërieën festival in 2008. But (and that's quite 'zealous') has also toured in China since then. Could it be that we can hear that in a number of new compositions too? Be quick to the Club for this CD launch, ting ting ting!
