Thoughtful Danish lyrics meet American inspiration in atmospheric indie folk universe

  • Monday 30 June

When Karoline Funder picks up her guitar and lets her voice ring out, it's as if time stands still. With understated means, she reveals great beauty and a vulnerable contemplation that crystallises in songs reminiscent of American indie-folk artists like Phoebe Bridgers and Marissa Nadler. 

The sound is atmospheric and dreamy, and the musical inspiration from American folk is clear, but the Danish-language lyrics also exude a down-to-earth experience that makes the songs present and relevant. With her wondering and honest songwriting, she uncovers intense complexity and unspoken pain in close relationships. 

With only a handful of singles under her belt, she has already played on major stages and received strong praise from Danish music critics. Her debut single "Vores forhandling" received solid airplay on Danish National Radio, and already sounds like a modern classic in Danish-language music. 

A beautiful and melancholic experience awaits when Karoline Funder brings her indie folk songs to Roskilde Festival this summer. Prior to the concert, she will release her first EP - a great possibility to dive deeper into her universe before the concert.
