Suzan Köcher's Suprafon

Suzan Köcher's Suprafon seamlessly blend Psychedelia, Dream Pop, Krautrock, Disco, 60s influences, Desert Americana and Cinema Noir elements. Their hypnotic sound has earned them acclaim at festivals such as Reeperbahn Festival, as well as coveted appearances at SXSW in Austin, Texas and WDR Rockpalast. This growing recognition was further underlined by winning the Pop NRW Award 2025 in the category "Outstanding Artist". Their third studio album In These Dying Times was released in October 2024 on Unique Records. “I started writing songs when I was 14 because I was afraid to talk about things and be rejected. Music was my way of saying what I think,” says German-Turkish musician Suzan Köcher—an experience she shares with many, especially other women. The current unrest and events in world history are clearly felt on the new album. It deals with the tragedy of the present, with powerlessness and the ever-growing cracks in our society. With the album, the band looks to the future and the past, but remains entirely focused on their own feelings. It's about self-empowerment and self-discovery, about forgiving yourself. But it's also about escapism, about fears and overcoming them. "In These Dying Times" is a new chapter that shows Köcher as a matured artist who is not afraid to show her personal, vulnerable side.
