United by their love for improvisation, experimentation, and songwriting, Bracelets sail through the vast sea of possibilities, hopping from one musical island to another. Together they keep discovering catchy and sometimes predetermined melodies that spring from ambient soundscapes. Magically they layer haunting vocals and sometimes dive into intense interplay.
In their powerful live shows Bracelets take the listener on an expedition where there is time to breathe and explore every incoming thought as a possibility for something new.
Helsinki-based Karin & Selma bring in Nordic melancholy with their emotive, twin-like vocals, electric guitar, synths and effect pedals while Tobias, with his human-sounding trombone, builds a majestic wall of sound alongside Stefan’s hypnotizing drumming and organic percussions. Both musicians are currently based in Berlin.
Bracelets strongly believe in the ethos where questions find their answers during the journey rather than at the final destination.
You can listen to BRACELETS EP "Live @Münsterland Festival 2023" on their SoundCloud Page and in June 2024, they will record their debut album in Finnland together with producer Jonas Verwijnen (known for his work Colin Stetson, Liima, The Whitest Boy Alive, Kings of Convenience, among others).
