St. Alker is the first single in a string of releases leading up to To Athena's debut album, Aquatic Ballet. It is foundational in setting the album's tone, a melancholic yet eerie musing on how separate lives can be subtly tangled.
Chamber pop, melancholy, lyrics that directly reflect, that hurt. To Athena allows introspective and fragile gems in Swiss German to exist alongside sparkling and cinematic pop in English on one and the same stage. The intensity is often found in the small and fragile. In the lyrics that reach out into the dark, but always allow for the light. Fragility, strength and the sounds in between.
