about

A captivating voice, a fiery piano, a gentle acoustic guitar wandering into an expressionist cabaret, melodies, melodies and more melodies, words, emotion and magic: welcome to the unique world of Lonely Drifter Karen.

Lonely Drifter Karen revolves around Tanja Frinta. She was bewitched by the musicals she went to see when she was a child, in the theatres and cinemas of her native Vienna. She started writing after having listened to a lot of folk, German cabaret music and punk rock.

She played and sang in an all-girl indie pop band when she was 20, then packed her suitcase and left, lived in Sweden for a while and then in Barcelona, where she met the other two people who became part of the band: Mallorca-born pianist Marc Meliá Sobrevias (who is responsible for many of the album's arrangements) and Italian drummer Giorgio Menossi.

Tanja sings, plays the guitar, writes these wonderful melodies and these lyrics full of evocative imagery and incisive twists-and-turns, in which feet become yo-yos, a mad inventor falls in love with a circus clown, girls turn into elephants, angels sigh while ladies resist ice-cream, a woman and a man get choked and, yes, the grass sometimes does sing…
