Album TALES OF A HUNDRED THOUGHTS
On her latest album “Tales Of A Hundred Thoughts”, Irina Kühn alias Plain Folly takes us into her very own Neverland. Her melancholic, dramatic, cascading indie pop quickly makes one thing clear, however: this is not the cheerful Disney version full of fairy dust. Neverland may not yet have burned down, but it’s a whole lot more disillusioned. Time is ticking like the clock in the crocodile, ticking for all of us, our lives passing us by as we escape to imaginary castles made of sand.
“Tales Of A Hundred Thoughts” confronts serious topics with disarming honesty and intimate openness, wrapping existential questions in achingly beautiful, somberly shimmering, wholesome indie gems …

EP “Fortuities”
On her 4-track EP “Fortuities”, Plain Folly mixes elements from Alternative Rock, Art Pop, Trip Hop and Electro in a very distinctive and unique way. Her strong and multifaceted voice fascinates right from the start, swinging between sweet and self-confident, soulful and desperate, endearing and powerful.

ABOUT PLAIN FOLLY
Plain Folly is many things. Unadjusted, thoughtful, sometimes dreamy, sometimes eruptive. But above all: DIY as fuck exclusively. Irina Kühn aka Plain Folly writes her own songs, plays almost all instruments herself, even partly produces her own music. Her melancholic pulsating indie prism creates its very own niche between Fiona Apple, Phoebe Bridgers and Florence + the Machine, carried by her versatile voice and her artful piano craft. Thus, her music becomes strikingly deep, a surging ocean of associations and emotions, sometimes beautiful and sometimes threatening. There is light, but not without shadow. There is pain, but not without hope. Sometimes shape-shifting as feather-light, sometimes as driving indie pop with a focus on her powerful voice and her great talent on the black and white keys, sometimes as an eruptive rock catharsis, and sometimes as an urban trip-hop fairy-tale. Her new album sets self-doubt and transience to music, boldly facing the storms of life alone despite all their heaviness – a wholesome, musically beguiling act of self-empowerment. Plain Folly: against all odds forevermore. And a fabulously exciting indie discovery.
