2012 sees the release of Poles, the sensational, 3rd album by Lonely Drifter Karen, which shatters many preconceived notions of their music. The colours have morphed: analog electronics, sinuous guitars and energetic grooves abound, and Tanja's voice is wilder and more vibrant than it ever was. With these new shades and brushes, the band have painted an alternate version of their own, unmistakable world: dreamy, poetic, and slightly surreal, overflowing with those lush arrangements and irresistible melodies which have become the band's trademark.

Lonely Drifter Karen heard throughout Europe
Lately many people have noticed the catchy compositions of Lonely Drifter Karen coming out of their radios and televisions.
Spanish ears are tickling with the appearance of "This World Is Crazy" in a whimsical ad for El Corte Inglés, whereas in Sweden people are being encouraged to "Show Your Colours" in outdoor health activities & sport.
"This World Is Crazy" is from Lonely Drifter Karen's first recording "Grass Is Singing". "Show Your Colours" is from last year's pivotal collection "Fall of Spring".
But thankfully it doesn't stop here! This international pop group swirling around the captivating voice of Tanja Frinta and keyboard magic of Marc Meliá Sobrevias are bringing their melodies to at least two of the four corners of the globe.
The group will play a series of concerts in Spain, including one in support of the Congotronics vs Rockers project on 14 May in Madrid. From there, they will be taking off for distant shores with a 12-day tour of China (dates to be released soon) , then return back to Europe for a series of concerts in July & August. But that's not all ! We hear they are working on some new recordings so look forward to more news on that soon !
