Mira Lu Kovacs

After ten albums and numerous collaborations in eleven years, Mira Lu Kovacs has achieved an unprecedented sense of calm. The nine new songs on "Please, Save Yourself" are the result of self-empowerment and an appeal to do what no one can do for you. It is the breakthrough that only emerges after you have worked for an incalculably long time (e.g. ten years) to save yourself.

Mira Lu Kovacs knows about the political dimension of individual experience and its musical translation. "Please, Save Yourself" is the album that runs through in one go and gets into a continuous loop, a floating intervention, the drawing of a healthy line, the mantra to scrape the curve, and ultimately - despite all the difficulties - a catapult into the love zone.

To make music that checked out and write such catchy songs at the same time - Mira Lu Kovacs makes damn beautiful music and knows the exact balance. With Manu Mayr on bass and Günther Paultisch on drums, she has two highly sensitive musicians from diametrically opposed backgrounds ranging from experimental music to synth pop at her side. The power and pull of the songs arise precisely from their minimalist density and sophisticated timing.
