we are Lyhre, alternative electronic artists fronted by Anitha (Producer, Singer & Songwriter) and completed by Daniel (Producer) from Berlin.
The music can be subsumed under the genre Indie-Electronica and is rather placed between the chairs of defined categories.
Dark synth textures, unusual compositions and a fragile voice with special melodies reminiscent of the early 90s immediately trigger movement and open a space in which anything is possible and everyone is welcome.
The name derives from the fictional speaker or the voice of the poem and thus their music sees itself more as a narrative than as following the structures of contemporary music.
Anitha serves this interface between new digitalized forms of expression and the intimate, human and analogue with her compositions. In addition to piano, e- guitar and her voice, the two work with analog and soft synthesizers in search of new textures.

Floral
Release: 09/04/19
In this track I think the tonal relationship to each other and the asymmetries exciting. It is atmospherically very dark and invites you to weigh yourself in it, for a moment. The vocal is pure and therefore intimate. The Recordings are very raw apart from their spatiality, which is what I was more interested in here.
Seirēnes
12/21/18 Trndmsk Records
Seirēnes is a kind of excursion into the Homeric epics and at the same time a very close and intimate feeling of longing into which you can fall.
In the course of this work we had dealt with Greek mythology as well as the symbolic power of the siren, which gave rise to these synthesizer sounds, somewhere between the feeling of an entire orchestra being submerged in water and the clear, almost steel sound bordering on pain.
In the midst of it the seemingly incessant repetition of the vocal, a verse, somehow isolated. In these few words she already tells a large part of this whole. Seirenes is a narrative, but not a heroic song.
Perhaps it's a lingering echo, an echo of all the stories so often revived, told by the siren itself.

PRESSCOVERAGE
One more amazing masterpiece by Lyhre in da house If you didn’t hear about Lyhre before, then I strongly recommend to check out links of their previous releases
The Berlin-based electronic duo have been showing an impressive flare for alternative electronic, blurring the lines between genre to pioneer an array of different sounds and atmospheres.
To be honest, I am very impressed by this track.
Anitha’s voice is a fragile beautiful crating. It sits somewhere between early Bjork and Louise Rhodes (Lamb).
An intriguing and mystical debut track from Lyhre. ...the strength of this track lies in its build up, overflowing with tension, grace and vulnerability A perfect trip into the tormented Homeric ocean at the mercy of Achaean gods
Seirenes is a kind of excursion into the Homeric epics and at the same time a very close and intimate feeling of longing into which you can fall.
From the very first sounds of this track I understood that I must show it to you!
