Precious Few | en

Precious Few are a German duo who have reduced their music to just acoustic guitars, melodica and vocals. The latter having been compared to the likes of Nico, former “femme fatale” singer of the Velvet Underground’s first album, and to Polly Jean Harvey.

Although they wear their British and American “Indie pop” influen- ces on their sleeves, Precious Few have still managed to carve out their own musical niche with their voice and instrument arrange- ments and unique sound. Their songs tell stories of everyday life, of family and friends, of places and objects. Kitchen-sink dramas for the 21st century!

After initially working together on a musical project with classical arrangements, Barbara and Chris decided to create a new band, Precious Few, in 2008. Live performances soon followed, with pres- tigious support slots for the likes of “Shoegazer” pioneers Cranes as well as Suede’s former frontman Brett Anderson.

Chris and Barbara have both played and recorded with a variety of other bands (including Dorian, Gloria and Bizibox). These groups have toured Germany extensively and have been the opening acts for such artists as The Wedding Present, Stars, Adam Green, Feeder, British Sea Power, Mew, Eskobar, and MIA.

David Gedge, of the legendary Indie pop group The Wedding Present, has personally invited the duo to join him and his band on a European tour, taking in Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark and Norway. Precious Few will show-case their current Live-EP at these shows. They are in the process of working on their debut album at the mo- ment.

Come and catch them live and enjoy the beauty of their sparse soundscapes!
