Where we have played — and in which format we can come to you.
Three formats. Which one fits your room is something we are happy to work out together.
Founded by Andi Lechner, based in Vienna.
The Ghost And The Machine was founded by Andi Lechner and is based in Vienna. Against fast-paced music consumption and a hungry streaming market, Lechner has been carving out an unapologetic artistic identity as a songwriter for over ten years.
Poetic, dark lyrics reminiscent of Mark Lanegan, Chelsea Wolfe or Tom Waits, nostalgic synthesizers and the distinctive sound of his resonator guitars — „Sorrows“ is a mix of sounds that tell touching stories.
Twelve songs, released 14 November 2025 on Fullmax Recordings. Two minutes of „Iron Sun“ will tell you whether we belong in your room.
