Description
The pan-European magicians return with a new line-up. Lonely Drifter Karen's songs are as enchanting as ever, and their arrangements as lush and exciting. The general tone of 'Poles' is joyful and dynamic, with a profusion of synths, electric guitars, acoustic and electronic drums and irresistible melodies which have become the band's trademark.The core of Lonely Drifter Karen - Austrian singer/guitarist Tanja Frinta and keyboardist/arranger Marc Meliá Sobrevias - has relocated to Brussels, Italian drummer Giorgio Menossi has left, and the young French guitarist Clément Marion has joined the band, with the addition of a drummer/percussionist.
Aside from the birth of this formidable new album, 2011 also saw Lonely Drifter Karen's first foray into China (where they did a successful 10-date tour), and the use of their music in a growing number of films and commercials.
Personnel: Tanja Frinta (vocals, guitar), Marc Meliá Sobrevias (keyboards, synthesisers, piano, programmed beats, guitar, backing vocals), Clément Marion (guitars, backing vocals), Boris Gronemberger & Markus Perner (drums)
Press comments on previous albums:
"The instrumental palette is rich as ever and Tanja Frinta's vocals are immaculate. Magic!" - Uncut
"Impeccably arranged, grounded in nagging melodies and rendered genuinely moving by Tanja Frinta's beautiful croon." - Q
