Le Fichu

Julius Eckardt has already made a name for himself as the composer and frontman of the Düsseldorf indie rock band Parakeets. In the summer of 2020, the contact restrictions at the time forced him to isolate himself completely from his bandmates. During this time of solitude, he formed his solo project Le Fichu. Three years later, he released his debut EP 'Refuge', which contains five tracks recorded in his own studio between May and October 2023. Julius describes songwriting as a kind of diary and the best way to process personal experiences. Unlike with the Parakeets, as a solo artist he has the freedom to shape his music according to his own feelings. This approach is very different from his work with the band and shows a more experimental side of him. The production is in his hands, he plays all the instruments himself and mixes the songs himself. He drew inspiration for this solo project from his great role model, ex-Beatle Paul McCartney.
