Lyra Pramuk - Hymnal

Berlin-based, American multidisciplinary artist Lyra Pramuk – vocalist, producer, composer, DJ, performance artist, and astrologer – shares her sophomore album Hymnal: an earthy, raw, and psychedelic burst of euphony for collective healing. In her latest work, Lyra brings together a vast spectrum of elements across art, biology, poetry, cultural theory, and collaborators to weave an audacious symphony of the universe.

Classically trained and raised in Berlin’s club scene, she has garnered critical acclaim for her original, genre-fluid sound rooted in experimental vocals and left-field electronics. Throughout Hymnal, she creates a radical and primal polyphony of innovatively-sampled vocals, in-your-face strings, and futuristic electronic production. These varied elements combine to form an ecstatic genesis, a musical offering that intersects with the minimalism of Steve Reich and Terry Riley, the avant-garde vocal storytelling of Meredith Monk and Laurie Anderson, and the political and communal spirit of American folk and dance music.
