Oracle Sisters (live @Into the Great Wide Open 2023)

Their debut album, Hydranism, was released early 2023. Recorded on a remote island (Hydra) during the pandemic, it embraces larger than life ballads, intimate folk songs, table thumping rousers and a vision of the world suspended in a timeless place.

Based in Paris, Oracle Sisters is composed of childhood friends Lewis Lazar and Christopher Willatt, and Finnish musician Julia Johansen. Lewis Lazar is a painter, Christopher Willatt is a mathematician. They have both been writing music since they were kids and friends in Brussels, Belgium They grew up to pursue different things in different countries; Lewis explored poetry and song in New York and Chris wrote music and ran underground cabarets in Edinburgh.
They reunited in Paris in 2017 to begin writing anew together and reinvented themselves as the ‘Oracle Sisters’ Julia Johansen, from Finland, who had just landed in Paris with her guitar and songs of her own joined them with harmonies and her secret talent on the drums. Oracle Sisters soon attracted a family of artists and friends who helped shape and support their sound. Recorded during France’s strict lockdown, Oracle Sisters’ previous EP Paris I (2020) and upcoming sequel Paris II explore their home of Paris as a city at a pivotal crossroads: will society move towards a utopic or dystopic future? Echoing a similar sentiment experienced by many as the world veers towards an uncertain reality.
