Andrea Schroeder (Germany)
Territory: Europe
Period: on request
New Album: 2016
Current Album: “Where the wild oceans end” (Glitterhouse, January 2014)
Once in a while, Germany offers uniquely talented female singers, and Andrea Schroeder is one of those. Draw yourself a line from Marlene Dietrich over to Nico, add some dashes Chamber Pop in the vein of The Tindersticks to it and you come close. Discovered and loved by such illustrious people like Charles Plymell or Mike Watt, Andrea Schroeder is such an exceptional phenomenon. She’s a musical poetess, with an outstanding voice that is as fascinating as her thrilling and melancholic lyrics.
Where The Wild Oceans End is Andrea’s second album produced by Chris Eckman (The Walkabouts, Tamikrest, Midnight Choir) and analogue recorded at the Ocean Sound Recording Studios, Norway very close to the Atlantic coast.
If you compare her forthcoming release to the critical acclaimed debut album Blackbird you must admit that she has taken the next big step. Andrea Schroeder and her band, including Danish guitarist and songwriting partner Jesper Lehmkuhl (Farmen), have made an unbelievable progression since releasing Blackbird on Glitterhouse Records in 2012. Focussing on her seductive but threatening voice and the charateristic melancholic storys Andrea’s musical vision is still growing. Where The Wild Oceans End is an album as it was made from one piece: it leaves its marks but inspires your soul and ends in deepest satisfaction.
In March Andrea Schroeder played one radio concert with Filmorchestra Babelsberg at Radio 1. 2015/16 Andrea Schroeder is also available for concerts with (local/national) orchestras.
