LENKA – Australian teen actress turned singer/songwriter, LENKA trained with Cate Blanchett in Sydney, thereafter landing leading roles on stage, television and in indie films, and vocalist/keyboardist for acclaimed indie electronic/ambient outfit Decoder Ring. Her sinuous vocals drape around her lyrics with the ease of a child hanging onto its mother’s legs…or of a serpent wrapping itself around the neck of its prey. Whether channeling our long-repressed terrors (“Trouble Is A Friend”) or long-lost innocence (“We Will Not Grow Old”), her music evokes primal emotions, unblemished by pretense or cynicism – and unashamed of cracking a smile occasionally.
