Lucy Kruger, the half of the brilliant Medicine Boy duo she created with André Leo, started her solo career a while ago, but Transit Tapes (For Women Who Move Furniture Around) is the first album she releases after the band ceased to exist. She performs her music together with The Lost Boys that consist of Liú Mottes, Andreas Miranda and Martin Perret, however there's no argue that Kruger is the project's leading force.
She comes from South Africa but lives now in Germany, and this album, as a follow-up to her 2019's Sleeping Tapes for Some Girls release, "documents Lucy's first year and a half after moving to Berlin". The foundation of her music is being minimalist and dark at the same time, showing "the bare bones of the songs, a slow burning psychedelic folk that is both intimate and ambient". This puts more focus on lyrics and the artist's mesmerizing and delicate voice - it is music closer to singer/songwriter phenomenon than Medicine Boy's was, but it is filtered though the same, utterly sad and slowcore-paced vibes.
And just like on Leo's solo album earlier this year Kruger helped him with certain parts, Leo had a role to play on this album as well, and I still find it so very cute. It does make the longing after Medicine Boy less painful.
Transit Tapes (For Women Who Move Furniture Around) costs 10 EUR.
