Bren

16:30 – 17:30 Full Moon stage

The project Bren emerged from the friendship between Ivo Lorenc (Science Killer, ex-Beps’n’Johnnies) and Šimon Podrazil (Tryo). What began as a duo soon expanded into a full band with the addition of Vojtěch Škuta and Lukáš Nedomlel. Bren brings a unique blend of shoegaze, blues, slowcore, and no wave to the Czech music scene, all underpinned by melancholic Czech lyrics and captivating melodies.

Their Facebook page describes their sound as “a mix of dark and urgent moments,” characterized more by an ambiguous, dreamlike haze than straightforward gloom.

Their debut album Tmou (2024) was recorded at Golden Hive Studio in Prague under the guidance of producer Michal Amák Šťastný and released by Kabinet Records. The album translates raw, intense emotions inspired by fragile human relationships into music. You can hear traces of international influences like Slowdive, Jaye Jayle, Swans, and Nick Cave, as well as a domestic touch from bands like Priessnitz.
