Ane Østergaard is a long awaited feminine touch on the Danish electronic music scene. There are no rules about what to do and not to do and she’s not afraid of mixing of genres. After an extremely well reviewed concert at Roskilde Festival 2006 and a year with more media coverage than most other unreleased artists in Denmark could ever dream of, the long expected debut of Band Ane, “Anish music,” is to be released. The talented girl is an extremely out-turned and spellbinding live artist, and along with her Mr. Laptop as she calls her computer, she has performed at a large scale of festivals all over Scandinavia. Most of the times with reviews that almost exceeded the amount of possible stars in the reviews. The just 23-year old Ane Østergaard from Aarhus in Denmark is an extremely talented producer, and a long expected feminine touch on a male dominated electronic music scene. Band Ane is producing melodic and well-composed electronic music, full of life and atmospheres and her approach to the music is anarchistic - completely without any rules of what to do and not to do. Ane Østergaard was brought up listening to experimental electro-acoustic and avant-garde music in the home. Ane has been studying piano on a jazz college in the UK, as well as work experience in a recording studio. Today she is a student on the exclusive electronic department of the music conservatory in Aarhus. Band Ane is using the whole scale of musical elements and she is including genres such as electronica, pop, children’s music, drum n bass and happy hardcore in an almost naive and delicious way, but still extremely elegant and consistent. Her background as a pianist and former drummer has some clear influences on the tracks with detailed drum programming and catchy piano riffs. The music has some humoristic elements and at times it seems almost childish. But still she is surprising here and there with sudden dark changes in the music and harsh noise elements are showing up. Anish music is a most delicate debut from the talented one-man army and beloved Danish electronica darling BAND ANE.
