PYUR

presents “Lucid anarchy”

After her resounding debut in 2019 with “Oratorio for the underworld”, Sophie Schnell, aka PYUR, has reunited all of the previously discharged elements and her sweeping energy, and rearranged them into a superb piece of sound architecture. Released earlier this year on Subtext, “Lucid Anarchy” is the result of a period of certain personal and emotional turmoil lived between several geographical locations: the megalopolis of Berlin, a fishing village on the Breton coast, the Alpine landscapes of the Jura mountains and the valleys of Tyrol. Perhaps it was these culturally and topographically contrasting settings that contributed to the impressive sonic dynamics of PYUR’s music. It is easy to see how these differing natural forces could have played an essential role, providing not only inspiration, but also reconciliation, as a powerful counterpoint to our own insignificance before them. A kind of emotional mountain peaks and valleys that serve as a perfect visualisation of the inner turbulence and peace that actually surrounds us.
