Listen to STONE on bandcamp

I couldn't help but be influenced by the strange times of 2020 and 2021 so there is a certain melancholy in these songs. STONE is music to indulge the sadness that gets more difficult to contain the longer we live this kind of 'strange'. I turned to stone for awhile trying not to feel. Now STONE is here and not in me.

STONE is available on all online platforms to stream or to buy, but if you want to support lola demo and my often dark wanderings, please go to https://lolademo.bandcamp.com

I love being independent musically (and in life generally) because I, like everyone else morphs over days or months or years, so being independent allows me to write and record whatever my morphing produces.



It's been a challenging year and a half, going on two, for all of us. Life is challenging at the best of times, but never as challenging as this. Although the songs on STONE have melancholy throughout, I hope I've made the sadness something beautiful. The answer to that is with you xx

 

My new 11 track album, Gravity is out 17th March 2023. With this release, I'm not kicking heads or testicles, nor am I challenging how we are made to see our lives through these excessively changing times.
Gravity is more like a whisper in your ear. Listening to it is all you need to know about it. Hope you like it.

 

 

 

Red Lights is my new 10 track album Released May 6th 2022

I tried to write some love songs, 'happy to be alive' songs (which I am), but i just can't control what comes out of me. I had enough control to dial up the bpm for most of these tracks, but the rest is up to the retro bitch that determines what bits and bytes get recorded. We're living in crazy times. Some of us dive into them deeper than we should.

The 'Parental Control' is there for 2 of the tracks.

Red Lights was written, recorded, mixed and mastered in my Strudel Girl Studio in Athens, Greece. Being excluded from society has been hard. Being disconnected from friends has been even harder. While writing this, Greece is still in the midst of mandates and restrictions for some, of which I am one of so my guitar and record button have been my best friends this year so far.

About Me

Image

Although everything you want to know about me is in my songs, I can tell you my name is Erika Bach, I was born in Germany, raised in Australia and now living in Greece. My musical history comprises of a goth band called Ape the Cry (Melb AUS), an alt rock band, Hard Candy (Melb AUS) and a deviation into dark electronica with British musician/producer Barry Snaith (TIJ) in our duo m1nk

I write and record music between Athens Greece and a small island in the Ionian called Ithaca, in my mobile studio, Strudel Girl, and I try to release an album/ep at least once a year. My soft spot in music leans toward grungy garage, but I am equally drawn to music that expells some dark melancholy in the form of a good melody. My lyrics can bite and sting and are never in any pop realm. I am quite happy for you to run me down if you find me in the 'middle of the road' at any time. I prefer the edges.

If you like what you hear I'd love you to follow lola demo on facebook, instagram, youtube and twitter. See all links at bottom of page.
