Görda + special guests (Chamber Pop, Indietronica)

In the organizer's words:

Görda - Between poetry and groove

"Everything is almost the same as always - with the side effect: you're standing next to me in the hallway - and you've never been further away."

Görda is the duo of musicians Sophia Günst and Annelie Weißel. Their sound combines introverted indie pop with danceable grooves, clever lyrics with atmospheric depth. They met at school in the far north, but wrote their first songs on the other side of the world: as street musicians in New Zealand, where they lived in a car and invented the story of Görda, the goose. One that always
that always moves on when it gets cold feet - a symbol of their musical journey. Now at home in a band flat-share in Leipzig, they refined their sound between home studio, kitchen and balcony. Their joint songwriting revolves around identity, interpersonal confusion and social dreams. Voice, electric bass, cello, flute, synthesizer and beats merge into intoxicating soundscapes.

Görda's live performances are intense interplay and spontaneous dialog, their music poetic and full of energy. In 2025, they will be supported by the Initiative Musik, and in 2022 they already won several prizes in the Local Heroes national final.
Press reviews praise their special sound aesthetics and poetic depth:

"When music and poetry come together like this, an evening becomes a happy coincidence." (Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten)

"A dreamlike mixture of jazz, pop and singer-songwriter." (Frizz Magazine)

"Impressive." (Kieler Nachrichten)
