Biography

The Viennese formation CULK presents their second album “Zerstreuen über Euch”. It is a declaration of war against deeply-rooted patriarchal structures. Last year, the group around singer & multi-instrumentalist Sophie Löw has created an “addictive sound” (spiegel.de) between Shoegaze and Post-punk with their self-titled debut album which has caused a sensation along the way. For their new material, CULK have collaborated with the Viennese producer Wolfgang Möstl (Mile me Deaf, Nino aus Wien, Voodoo Jürgens, Dives…) and have been pursuing the path of their career consistently. First and foremost, Sophie Löw’s lyrics, brought to life by her bewitching vocals, tackle highly relevant topics and negotiate them in a poetic way: The obstinate attitude of making gender diversity invisible among the linguistic and social reality . These are heavy topics, circling around power, love and resistance; their urgency is immediately palpable, textually and musically. Sophie Löw (voice, lyrics, guitar, synthesizer, artwork), Johannes Blindhofer (guitar), Benjamin Steiger (bass, guitar) and Christoph Kuhn (drums) have infused their political and personal war into their very own art which coincides with the musical form of Post-punk, captivating voice, and poetic lyrics.
