Janda-Apnoe

Janda »Apnoe«

Utilizing virtuoso production and subcutaneous songwriting, JANDA sonically tells the tale of a deep dive between two breaths - the acoustic storyboard for a yet-to-be-done movie. Effortlessly mixing folk structures with bits and pieces from pop, jazz, and electronica, JANDA expands and re-defines the Singer-Songwriter genre. »APNOE« goes deep, emotionally as well as literally.
