Recorded and Produced with love between the salt breeze of the ocean, snowstorms and thunderstorms in the mountains, moonshine nights on the beach and vanlife road trips through Europe.
Full Story:
After the “Water’’ EP release of summer 2017, the Austrian musician and producer Little Elementis now conquering hearts with her positive energetic DEBUT album,,Fire“. She couldn't have chosen a more harmonious title that sums up the record in one element. A journey between folktronic, indie-rock and dream-pop merges with far eastern and latin American features. Despite a whiff of melancholyit feels like the sun never sets. Fire as a symbolic element and energy is passionate, cheerful and lively, so the fire illuminates and warms its surroundings and creates a cultural meeting place - as doesLittle Element’sdebut. Amongst the catchy melodies, danceable beats and distorted surf-guitar solos, you find hersinging with a dreamy voice filled with lightness and charm. With songs like "Tel Aviv", "Vinho Portugues", "Queen of the Waves", Little Elementspeaks of love, the conflict between reason and drive and the rebellious pursuit of dreams, which often drives you insane and crosses your own limits. The experimental processing of feelings is a key factor inLittle Element’scompositions. For example, she recorded while seated in an aeroplane cabin and transformed original voice messages in Hebrew to samples. These playfully moves give ,,Fire“an extra note of emotional proximity.Little Elementgot the fuel and oxygen for ,,Fire’“ from travels to Israel, Spain and Portugal. The recording sessions started in Portugal after two months travelling in a hippie van with her close friend, musician Stephan Mader, when they based in a remote house in a Portuguese fishing village to write and record over 10 days. The recording finished in her home studio based in the Tyrolean mountains.
