Pina Palau

Pina Palau has always been interested in unvarnished humanity – motivations, emotions and stories that shape our lives. This curiosity led her to study medicine. The goal? To research the human psyche as a psychiatrist. But the plan will have to wait: At the same time, her debut album "Illusion" including the hit single "Jupi" was created. Before the Swiss woman knew it, she was suddenly sitting at the wheel of her tour bus across Europe instead of in the psychiatrist's chair.

Performances in front of Courtney Barnett and Alex Lahey followed, as well as concerts at the Reeperbahn Festival and Montreux Jazz Festival. Among them: a wonderful band between dark fuzz guitars, melodic bass lines and a drum set, as dry as Pina Palau's humor. At the beginning of 2024, the second album "Get A Dog" was released via Mouthwatering Records.

Inspiration came from greats such as Adrienne Lenker (Big Thief), Julia Jacklin or Phoebe Bridgers and Joan Baez as well as Patti Smith. On the new record, Pina Palau dissects everyday stories with the same enthusiasm that once drove her to study cardiovascular or inflammatory mediators. Always with the urgent desire to understand what makes us humans tick. Simple as that, isn't it?
