BIOGRAPHY

Resonator guitars from the early 20th century, nostalgic synthesizer sounds à la Agar Agar, and poetic, dark lyrics that, in their musical intensity, are reminiscent of Mark Lanegan, Chelsea Wolfe, or Tom Waits. Welcome to a comfortably eerie trip through the emotional worlds of The Ghost And The Machine (TGATM).

Austrian guitarist and singer Andreas Lechner creates his antithesis to the fast-paced streaming madness – he counters the cynicism of the loud music industry with its three-second attention span with an aesthetic Gesamtkunstwerk. Live performances feature band members Lina Neuner (bass), Martti Winkler (synthesizer, accordion), Hannes Wirth (guitar) and Aurora Hackl Timón (drums). Lechner also can be experienced solo at live shows.
