Annie Taylor

In the organizer's words:

The band, who met in a bar in the Swiss mountains after snowboarding, are known for their live shows and have already played at SXSW, the iconic radio station KEXP in Seattle, the Levitation Festival in Austin, the Great Escape and the Reeperbahn Festival.

On "Out of Scale", Annie Taylor have further developed their sound. The first album "Sweet Mortality" made the band internationally famous seemingly out of nowhere. They recorded the second, "Inner Smile", in England; it was rougher, more honest. And now they have honed their style once again. Each song sounds different and yet must inevitably follow on from the next. Distorted guitar and self-empowering rage-grunge are followed by repetitive psychedelia - and then a thoughtful song, quiet almost: somewhere between Courtney Barnett and Wet Leg.

Much of the new music was created in the summer, when Zurich was almost empty because everyone was away on vacation. Singer Gini Jungi remembers the taste of sun cream and salt on her skin. Of summer dresses. And endless time to think. Sometimes it felt good, when a night unfolded without a plan, in limbo, and she still felt a stark clarity. But sometimes she also sat on her carpet in the apartment, felt alone, played the guitar, felt loss, but also gratitude.
