KATHA PAUER is changing direction. "backwards on the way home" is the name of the musician's
second EP and reflects on interpersonal relationships and her own self-image.
Documented snapshots and private observations form a consistent framework within which

"heimweg" she shows a deliberate stylistic switch from EP number 1 to the second album and
herself from a side that we could previously only guess at: soft, approachable and significantly
slower.
KATHA PAUER is the very personal solo project of Munich newcomer Katharina

leaves Munich at the age of 20 to study in Vienna. With making music as her own
comfort zone, she feels safe on stage. "Enjoying an unconscious state",
she calls it, and anyone who has ever experienced the musician live will nod in the affirmative
