Summoned by the three musicians Ludwig Rensch (guitar, vocals, synth, drum computer), Nico Schützinger (keys, synth, vocals) and Lucas Fröschle (bass, synth, vocals), Cindy Gravity dissolves the unwritten laws of the concert stage.
Somewhere in between are amplifiers and instruments. While constantly surprising themselves, they understand each other blindfolded.
With the live show for their debut album Brutally Soft, Cindy Gravity transforms the concert venue into a place where a setlist is no longer necessary. The audience witnesses a unique, unreproducible performance where the excitement of spontaneity fills the room.

Cindy Gravity is a psychedelic pop trio with a drum machine, pitched vocals and lots of Major7 chords. When Cindy Gravity was launched in 2014 as an experimental art figure, Ludwig, Nico and Lucas were still living in various cities across Germany and using Cindy Gravity as a creative outlet. Indeed, the three are in a good mood, but sensitive. The music is the result of intuition and curiosity; feelings are felt and you almost briefly believe to understand how everything is connected to everything.
It is not until 2019 that Cindy Gravity begin to work together in a room in Stuttgart - an intense re-discovery phase that leads to the first performance in December 2019. And then: Pandemic. More concerts, streaming performances and a music video later, the band, now based in Berlin, begins recording their debut album, Brutally Soft. Like the title, the album is a paradox: between pop chorus and experimental synth shoegaze, electronica beats and vocal harmonies, minimalist arrangements and expansive orchestration. Everything flows into each other and surprises, but works. The lyrics are associative and non-linear, like dreams that feel clear but are hard to explain.
Live, Cindy Gravity always plays without a setlist. Instead, the band builds their own space with carpets, umbrella lamps and plentiful flowers. The musicians are in constant eye contact and wink, flirt and surprise each other, meandering from song to song. The resulting tension and spontaneity fills the room and spills over to the audience, who witness a unique performance that cannot be replicated.
