Sofa Surfers

Sofa Surfers is an Austrian band known for their distinctive blend of electronic music, which artfully combines elements of trip-hop, dub, and acid jazz, among other genres. The band was formed in 1996 in Vienna by a quartet of sound enthusiasts: Wolfgang Frisch, Markus Kienzl, Michael Holzgruber, and Wolfgang Schloegl. The group quickly established themselves with their self-titled debut single, "Sofa Surfers," gaining an enthusiastic following for their innovative and atmospheric soundscapes that defied easy categorization.

Throughout their career, Sofa Surfers have consistently pushed the boundaries of their sound, earning critical acclaim and a loyal fanbase in the process. With a discography that includes significant projects like "Scrambles, Anthems and Odysseys" and the soundtrack for the movie "Das ewige Leben," the band showcases its ability to craft sonic narratives that extend beyond conventional music albums. The 2015 release "Superluminal" underlined their ability to evolve, while their compilation "20" celebrated two decades of their influential music. Their adept fusion of organic instrumentation with electronic production has made the Sofa Surfers an enduring fixture in the European electronica scene, and their continued artistic ventures suggest that their creative journey is far from over.
