2012 sees the release of Poles, the sensational, 3rd album by Lonely Drifter Karen, which shatters many preconceived notions of their music. The colours have morphed: analog electronics, sinuous guitars and energetic grooves abound, and Tanja's voice is wilder and more vibrant than it ever was. With these new shades and brushes, the band have painted an alternate version of their own, unmistakable world: dreamy, poetic, and slightly surreal, overflowing with those lush arrangements and irresistible melodies which have become the band's trademark.

And in England, here's the word from Word Magazine (UK): "We are sincerely in love with the cosmic reveries of this Brussels-based trio, who mix Les Baxter/Esquivel-style space-age pop with the woozy grind of real guitars. Singer Tanja Frinta is quite something to hear — an intergalactic Charlotte Gainsbourg."

The new album "Poles" is now available for order !
