Lyra Pramuk

About Lyra Pramuk

Lyra Pramuk is a classically trained artist, raised in Berlin’s club scene, compelled by collectivity, spirituality, and care. Her genre-fluid sound, rooted in improvisation, experimental techniques and left-field electronics, has earned acclaim from diverse outlets including Pitchfork, Mixmag, and Vogue.

Freshly released  album Hymnal—a book of transformational worship songs—explores the ecstatic genesis of sacred rituals, expanding the themes of her celebrated 2020 debut Fountain.

Conceptually rich and process-driven, Hymnal is Lyra’s own book of worship songs: for the Earth, the cosmos, and all life-forms, living and dead. Inspired by the natural world and our place within a mysterious universe, the album invites cosmic interconnectivity, unfurling like a mass bloom in time-lapse from sunset to sunrise. It responds to the multiple, intersecting crises of our times – ecological, humanitarian, socio-political, and techno-philosophical. Driven by the role we must play to address and process the feelings that emerge as our home and human rights are taken from us, it calls us to remember music's early, communal roots, and our own agency in the process of our individual and collective transformation.

Sought after in various musical worlds, Lyra has collaborated with the likes of Moses Sumney and Sam Smith in a reimagining of Sylvester’s “You Make Me Feel”, Holly Herndon, Caterina Barbieri, Colin Self, and Ben Frost. As a live performer, she shapes her shows into collective rituals, which she has staged across the globe at Pitchfork Festival London, MoMA PS1, Sonar, Club to Club, and Unsound Adelaide… and Club Wintercircus.
