Sleeping Tapes for Some Girls

„Kruger, who is also one half of dream noise duo, Medicine Boy (Fuzz Club) has music that conjures a bewitching presence from the skeletal yet resonate ambience born of sparse instrumentations that bring forth vocals that are almost just a hum and a breath in a silent room.“ (Post-Punk) Lucy Kruger is a singer/songwriter from Cape Town, South Africa who recently moved to Berlin. Her performance focuses on the bare bones of the songs, a slow burning psychedelic folk that is both intimate and ambient. Dreamscapes set against drones allow the stories to drift and dive, fall asleep and come to life. In September this year she will release her second full length album „Sleeping Tapes for Some Girls“ through Unique Records. The new album is made to be a quiet companion for restless evenings. The album was recorded just before Lucy moved from Cape Town to Berlin in May last year. She had been quietly spinning a soft web of songs and wanted to capture the feeling before leaving. The record was made with a very specific listener in mind. For the last few years Lucy has gone to bed listening to the stories and sounds of songwriters that have became close companions, both challenging and nurturing her and eventually gifting her rest. She wanted to give something of the same to those who might need it. The arrangements are minimal and leave space for Lucy’s voice and guitar which are present throughout - reflecting, resisting and trying to reason with conflicted thought. She has shared the first two singles and accompanying videos for „The Ocean at Night“ and „Half of A Woman“.
