Paris-based trio, Oracle Sisters make music that is at once melodic, poetic and visionary. Working with the lightning speed afforded by the simplicity of a piano and a guitar, they construct complexity through their lyrics which stem from observations of every day life to the broader planes of symbolism. Their melodies, intertwined with harmony, always strive to uplift and surprise in the spirit of a great pop song coupled with the depth and feeling of a timeless folk song.
Born of a friendship stretching back to a childhood, almost forgotten, from the flatlands of Belgium, and later scattered between New York and Edinburgh. Lewis Lazar and Christopher Willatt stayed in touch after leaving home having grown up playing in rival and ultimately the same band. It was in these early years that their first connection as songwriters developed with Chris on the drums and vocals sometimes picking up the guitar with Lewis to pen an idea between their early shows. While pursuing their respective careers as underground cabaret singers and promoters, studying mathematics and philosophy, painting on commission, and writing as solo artists;
amidst this frenzy and whirlwind of activity they found their songwriting connection unbreakable and hard to match. When the opportunity was presented to them to move to Paris to help run a friend’s newly opened Cabaret in 2017 called ‘Le Carrousel’ (a stone’s throw away from le Moulin Rouge), they jumped on the opportunity and spent their first year writing songs daily in and amidst a blooming scene of artists in Paris that included Papooz, Polo & Pan, Antonin, Kids Return, l’impératrice, M..and a healthy group of Tarot card readers, Astrologers and soothsayers.
In this atmosphere of songwriting and social serendipity they coined the band name ‘Oracle Sisters’ and soon after met their first sister: Julia Johansen, a Finnish songwriter who had just arrived in Paris, guitar in hand, with a small part in a film and an even smaller suitcase after travelling the world over the last few years. Although they first welcomed her to be in the band due to her talent in singing harmony and how her voice blended perfectly with theirs..her secret talent on the drums soon became apparent, and thus began the creative adventure and roll of dice that is the ‘Oracle Sisters’.
