Clemens Bäre, aka Doppelfinger, has a talent for presenting his songs and poems in a seemingly effortless and light form.
His debut album ‘by design’ is a collaboration with Jakob Herber (FLUT, Culk, Anger, Sophia Blenda), was mixed by Sophie Lindinger (Leyya, My Ugly Clementine) and features contributions from Lukas Lauermann on cello and OSKA on backing vocals. The album moves between the influences of Nick Drake, Sufjan Stevens and Bob Dylan, but always remains fresh and avoids any blandness.

Despite the classic references, the album feels contemporary thanks to the digital availability of different eras. The songs, which were written in a children's room in Upper Austria, often reflect a profound, personal alienation, for example in lines such as ‘I don't have real friends / Cause I can't share the love that's in my head’ or ‘I feel bad about every line I write / I regret it all after one night’. These honest, often vulnerable thoughts show a confrontation with a world that doesn't really listen - or maybe it does, such is the nature of pop music.
