Isolde Lasoen
Biography Isolde Lasoen
Isolde Lasoen
is not only drummer with DAAN, Absynthe Minded and numerous other projects, but also a versatile musician, singer, TV personality and frontwoman of her own band. As simply Isolde Lasoen - from now on with her surname but still accompanied by her regular musicians - she gives a new twist to her solo career, with a new album coming soon.
The germ of 'la nouvelle Isolde' can be traced back to 2021 and her version of 'The Four Horsemen', the cult hit by Aphrodite's Child, the prog rock band of Vangelis and Demis Roussos. She spent months high on Radio 1's Vox list with it and even several weeks at 1. That success gave her the appetite to work on a new (she calls it 'eccentric' herself) solo record, doing her own thing completely. She lets all her influences, everything she loves, seep through: from her training as a jazz drummer over soundtrack and psychedelia to progressive rock, old funk and French music from the 70s. While she loves less is more for just about everything in her life, in her music she lets her hair down completely, with rich arrangements, an expansive instrumentation, dramatic harmonies, bombast and epic melodies.
