The musical treasure chest of Vienna’s indie-pop trio Laurenz Nikolaus is packed to the brim with honest yet sophisticated lyrics, melodies ranging from melancholic to refreshingly light, and above all: a whole lot of emotion. The finely tuned mix of neo-Austropop and traditional Viennese song, sprinkled with elements of chanson, places this rising star somewhere between Hirsch and Voodoo Jürgens – but with its very own sound and genuine attitude. So, put on your headphones, turn up the volume, and take a mental stroll through Vienna’s rainy streets. Or better yet: immerse yourself in the uplifting rhythms live at m4music, where this newcomer band will leave you with a persistent Viennese earworm.
