Alice Phoebe Lou / John Andrews and the Yawns

South African-born and Europe-based singer-songwriter Alice Phoebe Lou creates music that lives between dream and awakening, where soft light meets shadow and vulnerability becomes its own kind of strength. 

On her upcoming album, Oblivion, she strips back the noise to reveal luminous melodies and introspective lyrics that celebrate imperfection and emotional honesty. Recorded in Berlin’s La Pot Studio with longtime collaborators Ziv Yamin and Dekel Adin, the album captures Lou’s renewed sense of freedom—returning to her busking roots and embracing spontaneity over polish. Across delicate acoustic threads, glowing piano lines, and the gentle hum of layered harmonies, Oblivion finds her exploring identity, humility, and creative rebirth. 

With over 2 million monthly listeners and five acclaimed LPs, Lou continues to forge her own path—unafraid to step into the unknown and find beauty in the act of simply being.

John Andrews is something of an open secret in a certain corner of the music scene: a versatile musician and animator. A film school drop out whose work hat-tips tradition as much as outsider anti-aesthetics. He's spent over a decade on the DIY circuit with his revolving band the Yawns, projecting his sketchy hand drawn animations during his performances in coffee shops, small galleries, and non-traditional venues. When not performing his own music he lends a hand in the studio and on the road with fellow New York bands Cut Worms and Widowspeak.
