Led by drummer-composer Lukas Briner, Hyla Crucifer sets narratives to music with a dark, playful and hypnotic sound. The quintet—Vera Baumann (vocals), Julia Rüffert (trombone), Cyrill Ferrari (guitar), Johanna Pärli (double bass) and Briner on drums—crafts a curious sonic palette and a distinctive rhythmic language that blurs genre lines. Sparse textures, propulsive grooves and timbral surprises create an intimate, immersive atmosphere, presenting material from their new EP on Austrian label Boomslang.
