Unlike many of her peers, Tiffany Athena Limacher consciously draws inspiration from the past to analyse, reflect on and interpret the present in detail in her art. Lyrically and musically, she hits a nerve that few even realise exist. The singer with the elfin tones shows a distinct soft spot for string instruments of every persuasion, but also has an eye for social and personal topics beyond the mainstream. Raised in a family of violin makers, grown up with classical music as well as the synth sound of the 80s, she uses these eclectic artistic affinities to create an idiosyncratic style combining chamber pop, melancholic poetry, folk songwriting and lyrics in English and the Swiss-German dialect. With their latest album "The Movie" (2023), To Athena once again prove that their meticulously composed pieces sound as timeless as they do cinematic, while managing to successfully sidestep linguistic tangibility.
