Pia Denz

The debut album by Pia Denz is as multifaceted as the personality of the 28-year-old Viennese resident. With her octet, she presents a combination of string and percussion elements, merging electronic guitar sounds with soulful phrases. Emotional songs that one might initially associate with the singer-songwriter genre distinguish themselves from genre traditions with compositional finesse, rhythmic sophistication and narrative lyrics. The music is unpretentious, personal, and thus strikes a chord in the heart.
