  • Bio

    ...... Karma Junkie : This is experimental, lyric-driven electro-folk. A sonorous conversation between guitar, violin and voice. Harp, Synth and live sampling filter hooks, loops and mesmeric pop sensibility. .... This duo : Nurtured by Wales' intrinsic oral tradition of storytelling, ancient poetry and decadent, passionate rock. Buffered by busking on the summer streets of North America. Now present in London a new core of energy. .... .... KARMA JUNKIE- Peter, John and Bjork kinda stuff... electro pop atmospherics and sugar sweet melodic pop sensibilities.. Hot Chip would certainly be a touchstone... then again the more experimental corners of Radiohead are very apparent here…these tunes are very smart... some bloody nice violin arrangements come into play... ....- Bugbear Promotions .... .. This eclectic London-based electronic folk duo create a sound that is mesmeric, ambitious and instantly accessible. Formed of Dan Linn (Vocals, Guitar, Synth, Sampling) and Rose Pearl (Harp, Violin, Vocals) the group’s sound is melodic, vast and abounding. In live performance they are dynamic – Dan meticulously sampling live vocals and guitars over electronic drums with Rose providing a sonic bed of intricate harp and violin lines. The interplay of all the numerous instrumentation within the music is captivating, resulting in songs that draw the listener in and don’t let go. Karma Junkie creates beautifully arranged music with an immediacy in the lyrics that begs for immersion and contemplation. Don’t miss out… ....- The Hub .. .. ......
