Lyra Pramuk invites audiences to enter a futuristic space of transformation, where inspirations from electronic club culture and the storytelling power of folk music are united by a spectacular vocalist and performer.
Futuristic folk music is what Lyra Pramuk's style was dubbed when she debuted with the album Fountain in 2020. On the album, she unfolds magnificent soundscapes, all intimately emanating from her own vocals, which are both allowed to sound in pure form and transformed by electronic manipulations into a post-human polyphony of voices.
With emotional impact, sensuality and curiosity, Lyra Pramuk explores a non-binary understanding of life and its fragile ecosystems, and the album received high praise from the music press. "An oh-so-timely reminder that the body is a site of infinite possibility," wrote Pitchfork, naming Fountain Best New Music. Other critics compared Lyra Pramuk's vocals to the likes of ANOHNI and Lisa Gerrard.
Since her remarkable debut, Lyra Pramuk has collaborated with artists such as Ben Frost, Holly Herndon, Sam Smith, and Moses Sumney. Most recently, she has released the outstanding singles “Rewild” and “Meridian” — a taste of her upcoming album Hymnal. The album is set to drop ahead of this year’s festival, so you can look forward to experiencing new facets of Pramuk’s vocal magic at Roskilde Festival this summer.
