Praise for ‘Alte Schönhauser’ OUT NOW:
“With eloquent lyrics and evocative melodies, Alev Lenz’s debut UK EP is a diverse and beautifully moody collection of alternative pop.” Music Week
“Certainly someone to look out for this year.” Music News
“Possesses enough tenderness, deep delving, instrumental weaving and a splash of cynicism in order to earn Lenz some exposure and respect.” Comfort Comes
ALEV LENZ RETURNS TO THE UK FOR A HANDFUL OF EXCLUSIVE LONDON SHOWS.
This summer saw the release of Berlin-based singer’s debut 5-track ‘Alte Schönhauser’ EP – a collection of idiosyncratic love songs, with nods to the likes of Regina Spektor, Tori Amos and Fiona Apple, produced by Brio Taliaferro (Skunk Anansie, Sugababes and Sophie-Ellis Bextor) and Don Philippe (Freundeskreis).
Born in Munich, Alev Lenz signed her first publishing deal with BMG in 2001, with her former rock band ‘Alev.’ After the release of their album, ‘We Live in Paradise’ in Europe and the US, and three years of touring, Alev decided to leave the group to concentrate on her solo career. She travelled to New York to write and perform her own material, playing open mic nights and her first ever shows as a solo artist. In 2008, Alev co-founded ‘My Own Record Company’ and went on to release her debut solo album the following year, receiving critical acclaim across Europe. Alev was also invited to contribute to several movie soundtracks including the latest film from Oscar winning filmmaker Caroline Link.
