Об исполнителе:
Intimate Stranger is an indie-rock band consisting of Tessie Stranger (vocals/guitar) Lau Stranger (guitar/keyboards) Andres Ugarte (Drums) and Filip Crisis (bass). Influenced by elements of post-punk and dream pop, their sound is characterized by its vocal melodies and atmospheric guitars, mixed with drumbeats and synths. Described by Tom Robinson’s BBC 6 radio program as “gritty, dirty, calm and ethereal at the same time, with beautiful vocals”. The Anglo-Chilean band was formed in 2007 by Chilean guitarist Lau Stranger and English/Croatian singer Tessie Stranger, initially commuting between Chile and London. They have spent considerable time abroad, including US tours in 2010 and 2011, with shows at SXSW, The Parish and Emo’s in Austin and The Knitting Factory in New York. In 2011 their song Under was in the top 10 of US independent radio stations and the Austin Chronicle voted them in their top ten new bands to watch in 2011. Returning to Chile, where the band is currently based, they played at Primavera Fauna 2011 and Lollapalooza 2013 and have supported various international bands (Raveonettes, Interpol, The Walkmen and The Hives, Peter Hook)
