SODL

In the organizer's words:

Anyone who thinks of a dreamy folk act when they hear Sodl's forest fairy-like aesthetic will be completely taken aback by English-language hits such as I am a Woman and Mary, The Anarchist. This year's winner of the Austrian Amadeus Music Award in the Fm4 category does not shy away from harsh contrasts, celebrating them with heavy distortion and flowers in Rapunzel hair. With Sheepman (2025), the 21-year-old presents her self-produced debut album - a balancing act between fairytale escapism and feminist outcry. Amidst mystical beings, devotion and female lust, she tells of structural oppression, of the struggle for space and visibility as a woman. Musically, the songwriter from the Salzkammergut wraps poetic lyrics in the dirty sonic clothes of the 90s.

Accompanied by her band, Matthias Pfaffl on drums, Paulina Scholz on violin and Leo Weidinger on bass, Sodl will be touring Austria and Germany in spring 2025.
