Painting are Theresa Stroetges (vocals, bass, guitar, synthesiser), Christian Hohenbild (vocals, drums, electronics) and Sophia Trollmann (vocals, saxophone, synthesiser). Stroetges and Hohenbild previously performed together in the band Soft Grid, while Trollmann contributed saxophone to one of Stroetges’s solo albums under her Golden Diskó Ship moniker. Formed in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic, they have an unconventional setup which sees all three members share vocals (with Stroetges most often taking the lead), play multiple different instruments, and each contribute to a highly democratic songwriting and song arrangement process. “Our motto is that every idea has to be tried out at least once,” explains Stroetges, “even if two of the three of us are sceptical about it. They might be surprised!”
