about
Dear friends, we are Ödland. We love wind and violin, clouds and piano. We have to dream or the way may be lost. We were born in a train and we are traveling with ghosts. Our shadow will reappear, because the past is lighting us. Dear friends, welcome to our Land. The band Ödland was created on December the 13th 2008 in Lyon under the lead of Lorenzo Papace, composer-songwriter, accompanied by the Bingöllü sisters. Alizée Bingöllü is a singer and an actress, Léa Bingöllü is a violinist. Ödland draws its inspirations from nineteenth century music and European folklore. Neither reactionary, nor traditional, Ödland has a contemporary, acoustic, and poetic sound, enriched by a visual universe. Videos and photographs form a coherent world, both unique and timeless. The band has remained independent since its beginning. To date, it has self produced four records: * the first EP (The Caterpillar 2008) * two albums (Ottocento 2010 and Sankta Lucia 2011) * a 45 rpm vinyl (Zoophyte 2010) Ödland organized two international tours in 2010 in England and Germany with Ottocento and another tour through Germany in 2012 for the album Sankta Lucia. Fourth band member Isabelle Royet-Journoud left the band in June 2012. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
