Do not mistake Sodl’s forest-fairy aesthetic for a dreamy folk act. The Austrian artist doesn’t shy away from harsh contrasts — she celebrates them, with heavy distortion and flowers in her Rapunzel hair. With Sheepman (2025), the 21-year-old unveils her self-produced debut album — a tightrope walk between fairytale escapism and feminist outcry. Amid mystical beings, devotion, and female desire, she sings about structural oppression and the struggle for space and visibility as a woman. Musically, the songwriter from Austria’s Salzkammergut region wraps her poetic lyrics in the raw sound of the 1990s.
