Lenka
Date of Release: 8 June 2009
Lenka is an Australian television actress turned ensemble musician with Decoder Ring, turned solo singer-songwriter, most famous worldwide for her song "The Show", which has been used in numerous advertisements, most notably for Old Navy. In Sydney, Lenka went on to become a teen actress who trained with Cate Blanchett, thereafter landing leading roles on stage, television and in indie films, a self-described "punk-ass art school student" and vocalist/keyboardist for acclaimed indie electronic/ambient outfit Decoder Ring.
Lenka vocal styling offers a juxtaposition of catchy pop and layered, complicated world music influences. Whether channeling our long-repressed terrors "Trouble Is A Friend", long-lost innocence "We Will Not Grow Old; broken romances "Wrote Me Out", self-loathing "Anything I'm Not", difficult relationships "Dangerous & Sweet," (with Howie Day on guest vocals) or long distance longing "Skipalong", her music evokes primal emotions, unblemished by pretense or cynicism - and unashamed of cracking a smile occasionally.
