Low Key Orchestra

In the organizer's words:

low key orchestra enchants with a soulful indie-folk aesthetic, infused with Bright Eyes and Coldplay influences. Their sound is comforting, has an independent feel and inspires with multi-faceted warmth - understatement that conceals great things.

low key orchestra. You can't get more understatement in a band name. Sönke Torpus has found the most inappropriate - and therefore most fitting - name for something that, without wanting to exaggerate, is musically truly great.

But let's start from the beginning. low key orchestra is the new band project of the aforementioned. All indie-folk connoisseurs among us will be familiar with his former band Torpus & the Art Directors, and will have the joy written all over their faces that new music is now on the doorstep of their favorite songs.

Every line speaks of sincere compassion. Together with producer Helgi Helgasson, Sönke has managed to translate an inescapable text into warm and multi-faceted music. In terms of sound, the low key orchestra - especially in this country - floats very independently in a world of sound and emotion that has been influenced by bands such as Bright Eyes, Whitney and the Flaming Lips. In their songwriting, however, there are parallels to early albums by Coldplay or Keane. Sönke says of himself that he lost the music for a long time. Fortunately for us, he has rediscovered it - or perhaps it has rediscovered him. In October, the low key orchestra will go on tour for the first time with a full band line-up.
