Jorge Elbrecht

Musician and visual artist Jorge Elbrecht has built his career on innovation and unpredictability, creating beautiful, strange, and sometimes chaotic music that traverses art-pop, psychedelia, soul, metal, and space rock. His two primary projects, Lansing-Dreiden and Violens, were boundary-pushing ventures that played with the basic expectations of what is generally considered a band. In the middle part of the 2010s, Elbrecht became more active as a producer, co-writer, and engineer, going on to work with acts like No Joy, Sky Ferreira, Ariel Pink, and Japanese Breakfast, among others. He also began recording under his own name with typically eclectic releases like 2018's Here Lies and 2021's Presentable Corpse 002.
