Phraim was founded in 2016 by the singer Nina Reiter, the pianist Stephan Plecher, bassist Marc Mezgolits and drummer Peter Primus Frosch. “Tides”, in German” tides “or” Ebbe und Flut”, is the title of the Band’s second album, which is committed to a modern jazz sound. The quartet works on its music as a collective, which is made possible by years of cooperation and mutual trust. “Tides” is not a typical Album: it was created as part of a live concert in the Studio, which was attended by an invited audience. The program was played through once-without interruptions, without cuts. Whether the final result makes a difference, the listener has to decide for himself, but there is no denying that the energy of the audience present is palpable.

Phraim’s new album “Hysteria” is as complex as the circumstances from which hysteria is so often diagnosed. Musically nuanced and lyrically pointed, the original compositions allow deep insights into emotional abysses and flights of fancy, leaving enough room for subjective interpretations. The strikingly poetic lyrics, with the exception of one poem setting, are all penned by singer Nina Reiter and are strongly influenced by Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton, both representatives of confessional poetry.
