What BOY Official makes

Topics swiss, pop, music, duo, acoustic

BOY is a Swiss-German pop duo formed by singer Valeska Steiner and bassist Sonja Glass. 'MUTUAL FRIENDS' is their debut album and with 'WE WERE HERE' they delivered a magnificent second album. WE WERE HERE finds BOY spreading their wings, exploring new textures and musical approaches while remaining true to their aesthetic. Having formed two and a half years after their original meeting – once Steiner had left her native Zurich, Switzerland, to move to Hamburg, where Glass grew up – they spent a while finding their voice, driving in Steiner’s mother’s car to low key shows, wherever they could get them, before Groenland Records signed them in 2011. All of this ensures that 'WE WERE HERE' not only confirms the reputation that BOY earned with 'MUTUAL FRIENDS', but also further underlines their flair for an intimately detailed, precious songcraft that speaks to men and women, of men and women, about singular, yet universal, moments in our lives.
