Stockerz by Lena Douglas
Lena Douglas is an Australian music maker from Melbourne, now based in Copenhagen. With a strong grounding as a pianist and keys player in the Melbourne band scene, Lena’s recent work shifts focus towards the voice through sung melodies, sampling her own vocals, and experimentations with autotune.
Lena’s EP ‘Stockerz’ features 6 tracks written while living on an island in Stockholm in 2022-23. It's a collection of melodic, experimental pop songs that house her musical explorations from that time: sampling her own voice and playing it on the keyboard, tapping on huge mushrooms, taking on a collage style approach to form, and including voice memos from friends back home in Australia. With equal love for acoustic textures, pop energy and nerdy chord progressions, Lena’s music is melodic, honest and open-hearted.
