Happy In Grey

Like the cityscape that confronts her when she looks out her apartment window in Berlin, Damero’s introspective songs constantly evolve. Containing elements of trance, remnants of ‘80s German pop and dreamy techno, she weaves a hypnotic tapestry based on shifting tones and textures rather than dance floor tempos. It’s hard to work out what she’s singing about because it’s mainly in German, but the understated vocals suit the fragile, playful arrangements. After all, in Damero’s monochrome, soft-focus world, staying in the shadows and speaking in code equates to happiness.
