Suzan Köcher's Suprafon

In the organizer's words:

Suzan Köcher's Suprafon play psychedelic music between Dreampop, Indie, Krautrock, Disco, '60s Vibes, Desert Americana, Soundtrack - sinister, melodic, atmospheric and hallucinating! With their music, which carries you away as if on a river, the band has wowed audiences at the Traumzeit Festival, Burg Herzberg Festival, SXSW in Austin, Texas, the Reeperbahn Festival and WDR Rockpalast, among others. Their new album "In These Dying Times" was released in October 2024 on Unique Records.
"I started writing songs when I was 14 because I was afraid of talking about things and being rejected. Music was my way of saying what I thought" - an experience that the German-Turkish musician Suzan Köcher shares with many women, especially other women. With her debut album "Moon Bordeaux" (2017, Unique Records), which was celebrated by radio and the press, she went on tour with her band, played festivals such as the Maifeld Derby and Orange Blossom Special and began to make a name for herself in Germany. The music on the second album "Suprafon", recorded in 2019 in Austin, TX, became more experimental and developed in the direction of dream pop and psychedelia.
The current unrest and events in world history can be clearly felt on the new album "In These Dying Times". The album deals with the tragedy of the present, with powerlessness and the ever-widening cracks in our society. With the album, the band looks to the future and the past, but remains completely focused on their own feelings. It is about self-empowerment and self-discovery, about forgiving oneself.
But also about escapism, about fears and overcoming them.
"In These Dying Times" is a new chapter that shows Köcher as a mature artist who is not afraid to show her personal, vulnerable side. "Perhaps people will find themselves in one way or another in my experiences," she says. "In times when there are such deep rifts between people, it is all the more important to find common ground and stand by each other."
