Mary Ocher returns to Hamburg with the new piano album Weimar, her most intimate record yet. The album draws on early 20th-century minimalism, chamber pop, and modern classical influences, while remaining unmistakably Ocher - thoughtful, and grounded in emotional depth. The title "Weimar" alludes to the current era, echoing the fall of the Weimar Republic a century ago and the shadow of fascism that rose in its wake.
Mary Ocher
Born in Moscow to Jewish-Ukrainian parents and raised in Tel Aviv, she learned from a very young age that questioning authority was a means of survival-and that it came at a hefty price. At 20, after refusing the draft, she left for Berlin, where she became a central underground figure, known for her uncompromising politics and critical writing on nationalism and war, influenced by her upbringing.
Following extensive international touring and a catalog celebrated by The Guardian, The Quietus, TAZ, The Wire, Fader, Paste, Libération, and a recent German Record Critics’ Award. Ocher stands at a pivotal moment. As nationalism, censorship, and cultural fragmentation rise the world over, her examinations of identity, fear, and belonging feel absolutely essential.
Collaborations include Mogwai, King Khan, Die Tödliche Doris, Felix Kubin, and Julia Kent, and homages to Delia Derbyshire and Dorothy Ashby / Omar Khayyam.
