Laura Krieg | Café Wolf

Laura Krieg is a means of geocritical self-defence. a cold wave of brutalist pop. a drum machine a microphone and silver glitter -- With “Crépuscule” I wanted to make people dance, even if they’re sad. I worked on a more ethereal and warm sound, on songs to listen to with an open heart. I wanted to explore the imaginary of the end; build a series of images captured at the moment when everything is about to disappear. A red sky in the desert, a diffuse character taking form but refusing to become real. I approached the writing of the album as multiple attempts to grasp this entity, resulting in a collection of fragments. I was inspired by classic Greek tragedy: Medea, the outsider, standing by the abysm, in the middle of the emptiness. And by postdramatic theater: Hamlet-machine, the impossibility to have a voice in the shadow of the Ghost. The omnipresence of death where we expect life.
