The female touch

Band Ane consists of the 23-year old girl Ane Østergård and her Mr. Laptop, which she rudely manipulates to create optimistic electronica with a naive twist to it. But don´t be fooled and think that there is not hiding anything underneath the naive and childish surface. 

The music is both complex, trashed and subtle and I think Band Ane´s female touch sets her apart from most other electronic musicians who are typically male. Most of all she´s not afraid of discovering all the different features that her laptop can deliver and all the different genres it can blend. The track "Lala" is a perfect example of her range. 

Her debut album from 2006 is named "Anish Music" and was called both anarchistic and infantile by the critics - which was meant in a good way. At the moment Band Ane is in Berlin because of the initiative "Aarhus Berlin Crush" where German and Danish electronica musicians get together to play several concerts in Berlin. It´s no secret that Berlin is one of the main capitals for electronica so it´s not the worst place to make a good impression as a foreign artist.
