Josephine Odhil

Gritty beats, unsettling soundscapes, and enigmatic whispered melodies…Amsterdam based Josephine Odhil is a creator in the truest sense of the word. Working with the mediums of music and visual art, she takes inspiration from wherever it is to be found, diving into a year-long exploration of evil through literature and cinema, and keenly observing the darker aspects of the human psyche. The result is her second album Monstera: an intriguing sonic experience that speaks to dark tourists, (un)true crime lovers, and Pop Noir enthusiasts.    A conceptual thinker, she concerns herself with stories and how to tell them, a style of working that features prominently in her lyrics. These reflect feelings and ideas stemming from her inner world, wrapped in symbolism for the listener to unfold. Many of her lyrics contain secret references to her sources of inspiration, waiting to be found by like minded souls, creating somewhat of a secret undercurrent in the form of an intimate meta-conversation with her listeners.  Having performed on notable (inter)national stages such as Lowlands, Transmusicales and Into The Great Wide Open with her former band The Mysterons, Josephine embarks on a new, exciting chapter. Monstera was released on ATEASE, and celebrated with a sold out release show in the small hall of Paradiso Amsterdam.
