SUZAN KÖCHER'S SUPRAFON - D) - Dream-Pop/Indie/60s Vibes
"Supported by the Initiative Musik and the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media 'BKM'
Suzan Köcher’s Suprafon plays psychedelic music blending Dreampop, Indie, Krautrock, Disco, ‘60s Vibes, Desert Americana, Soundtrack – sinister, melodic, atmospheric, and hallucinatory! With their music that sweeps you away, 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 at 14 because I was scared to talk about things and be rejected. Music was my way of saying what I think" - an experience shared by the German-Turkish musician Suzan Köcher with many, especially other women. With her celebrated debut album "Moon Bordeaux" (2017, Unique Records), she toured with her band, played festivals like Maifeld Derby and Orange Blossom Special, and began making a name for herself in Germany. The music on the second album "Suprafon," recorded in 2019 in Austin, TX, became more experimental and evolved towards Dream Pop and Psychedelia.
The current unrest and events in world history are clearly felt on the new album "In These Dying Times." The record addresses the tragedy of the present, with powerlessness and the ever-growing divides in our society. With the album, the band looks to the future and the past but remains entirely focused on their own feelings. It’s about empowerment and self-discovery, about forgiving oneself. But it is also about escapism, fears, and overcoming them.
"In These Dying Times" is a new chapter that showcases Köcher as a mature artist unafraid to reveal her personal, vulnerable side. “Maybe people will find a part of themselves in my experiences,” she hopes. “In times when there are such deep divides between people, it is all the more important to find commonalities and support one another.
