After the successful folk-pop debut 'We Need to Repeat', the major release 'Silver Secrets' and the indie-pop album 'Demimonde', Ingrid Lukas presents now with her band the album 'Elumeloodia'

Since the beginning of her career, the Zurich-based Estonian Swiss singer, pianist and composer has been creating her own sound, oscillating between jazz, folk and pop. A mixture of tradition and modernity, combined with lyrics addressing our attitude towards life. Her individual view opens up universal themes.

In Lukas's musically multicoloured cosmos everything is connected to everything else: her Nordic roots, given shape in Estonian folk songs, meet up with modern song forms and beat cultures merging into a spherical ambient-indie-pop. Ingrid consistently continues to develop her music; no album sounds like the other, but together they show a dramaturgical and emotional logic. 

On 'Elumeloodia' Ingrid concentrates on her fair for dynamic song developments and atmospheric moods. The songs and sound spaces are supported by electronic instruments and beats from her long-term musical partner, producer, sound inventor and drummer Patrick Zosso, and by the experienced Swiss pop,
flm and jazz musicians Manuel Rindlisbacher and Ephrem Lüchinger.

"Ingrid Lukas was the clear highlight, whose beautiful voice and minimalist, dark electronic beds were fused to some genuinely astonishing jazz drumming." - Drowned In Sound UK.

"As evident from the mystical chants and repetitive hymnal motives, Ingrid is in touch with the nature of tepid latitudes as well as the urbanistic beat patterns and bass line riffs stamped by the likes of Radiohead and Ultraista." - Beehype.

"Brightest and Best Estonian Act: INGRID LUKAS. Ingrid Lukas' songs were shimmery and epic (...) making for a set that glowed both metaphorically and literally." - Under The Radar.

"Lukas (...) occupies this wonderfully tense space between surface beauty and the darker edges of life. Breaking the mould is her forte." - The Line of Best Fit. 

"It is said to underline the artist's diversifed personality so expect a big box of surprises." - NBHAP.

"It's the type of dreamy music which an audience almost can't help but be hypnotized by." - Usva Magazine
