Mary Ocher + Aftershow

Experimental Pop I Abstract Synths

Mary OcherMary Ocher has been persistently creating passionate, uncompromising work, raw, thought provoking, socially and creatively pushing against the current, dealing with subjects of authority, identity and conflict.

Her work is as enchanting as it is polarizing, ranging from traditional folk to raw 60s garage, ambient with ethereal vocals and abstract synths, to experimental pop with African and South American rhythms. She has released 4 studio albums on 5 labels in the past 6 years, as well as a double anthology of home recordings, 2 EPs and 2 collections of remixes. Her previous solo release was produced by Canadian Psych Rock&Roll guruKing Khan.

The recent album "The West Against The People" came out on Klangbad this March. It was produced with Hans Joachim Irmler of Faust and features solo tracks, as well as tracks with her two drummers Your Government, and elusive legends Die Tödliche Doris and Felix Kubin. It also features an essay elaborating on the themes of the album and analyzing the current sociopolitical climate*. A further collaboration with Julia Kent shall be revealed soon. The album is currently in its second edition and its release tour has covered 14 countries so far.
