Shireen

Enigmatic Witchrock from the Netherlands

Shireen enriches the musical landscape with their unique “witchrock”- sound. A progressive soundscape built on rich layers of deep, powerful and energetic compositions, which carry the sound of Annicke's spellbinding vocals. Inspired by artists lik Björk, Kate Bush, Tesseract and Tool, Shireen invites their listeners to delve into a world where music transcends traditional boundaries, offering a unique and spellbinding experience, while maintaining the enigmatic charm that has become their hallmark. "Elytra" is a bold statement from a band that refuses to be pigeonholed, constantly challenging themselves and their audience.

Shireen debuted with the now popular album Matriarch, a blend of Folk and Pop. Their second release “Elytra” features three brand-new tracks that showcase a heavier, more intense sound than portrayed in their previous album, reflecting the band's continuous exploration and growth while at the same time keeping true to their own unique core. Elytra pushes the boundaries of their established genre, blending their signature mix of folk, rock, and electronics with a newfound intensity. The most recent release “Elytra Live” portrays the band’s concert sound, with 6 engaging live tracks.
Live, Shireen brings their Witchrock to life in a captivating show. The band is rock solid, with a stage presence as powerful as the music itself. Frontwoman Annicke engages the audience with her strong energy and charisma, and a compelling voice. The live set is a raw, organic display of instrumentation and performance. The result is an intense experience where the audience is immersed in the musical world of Shireen. Shireen live is not a repetition of the studio recordings, but a raw, fiery reinterpretation in which new layers and energies emerge.
