If you forget time and space, you stand before it, follow the path, pass through the gate!
Where the conscious ends and the unconscious begins, that's where we want to tell our story, and that's where we'll take you! Like the morning mist that slowly lifts and finally allows a clear view, like a gate that opens for us listeners, revealing a glimpse into a distant land of fantasy, that's how one perceives the music of Andyra, the folk-rock band from Vienna, Austria.
"Dreamy and gentle, cheerful and exhilarating," the wonderful songs sung in German with folkloric instruments, framed by classic rock instruments, resonate. The extraordinary and expressive singer Bettina Kiegler lends her voice to the words, creating images and emotions that enchant the listener.
Each song has its own unique sound, yet all the songs are unmistakably part of a fantastic world called Andyra. The band bears this name because it is connected to this world, and the songs tell of it. "Joy and sorrow, love and desire, adventure and struggle" – the stories are endless, to be listened to and experienced by Andyra.
With her debut album "Magie der Fantasie," released in March 2015, Andyra created a work in which words and melodies combine to create images and feelings that take us on a journey and allow us to become part of this wondrous world.
With the 2016 single "Warten," Andyra beautifully captures the feeling of longing for a loved one, allowing us to experience all the melancholy, sadness, but also hope. A song that gets under your skin! With their brand-new album "Fantastische Reisen," the band once again invites their listeners on a fantastical journey through the magical world of Andyra. 12 works tell the stories of brave warriors, forgotten dryads, and a people rebelling against their king.
