The three musicians begin to play and a door into a world of melancholy opens. sweet sister pain are dark and romantic, dynamic from a cricket’s chirr to a thunderstorm. They create lyrics, songs and sounds that take your soul on a journey, they rouse emotions that otherwise only wake up in the gloaming of twilight. Apart from their own compositions, quotes from masterpieces like Chopin’s “Trauermarsch” and Schubert’s “Wiegenlied” belong to their work as naturally as adaptations of wonderful pop songs like e.g. “mad world” (tears for fears).

If you take a look at their curriculum vitae, you’ll realize that the three belong to an extraordinary class of musicians. sweet sister pain know exactly what they want and they insist on getting it. Dedicated to the stylistic ideal of “dark romanticism”, not caring about clichés and trends, they focus on the musical coloring and the pureness of their instruments and voices in inimitable combination with electronic and digital atmospheres.

The acoustic instrument’s sound varies from a chamber music trio to a symphonic orchestra that, sometimes with mystic elegance sometimes with rock-orchestral force, amidst booming drums and loops, unwaveringly creates its own world of sound.
