Music

frauke400 gets straight to the point: in a kind of New German Wave for adults, she captures the world around her in clear and idiosyncratic pop songs with touching hooks that worm their way into the ear and rewire the circuits there. Polyphonic vocal lines with an experimental touch are carried by impelling grooves, quirky 80s synths, and her twangy guitar. frauke400 experiments with synth sounds, grooves, real flute and saxophone tones, and plays and sings everything herself.

Light, with modern class and an anarchic, quirky touch, the Bremen-based artist addresses socially relevant topics such as dementia, male dominance, false conformity to norms, and the development of artificial intelligence. And, of course, she also sings about the diversity of love and relationships.
