Hajk formed in Berlin in the late 1990s around Sven Sudhoff and Jens Thomas, who were drawn to experimental electronic music. They released their debut album 'Floating Worlds' in 2002, which established their approach to ambient soundscapes with vocals and intricate rhythms.
Their song 'Flowerdust' became a notable track for them, often mentioned alongside 'Keep Telling Myself' as examples of their work. The band's lineup later included Marcus Schmahl on drums and percussion, with Sudhoff handling vocals and guitars and Thomas on keyboards and programming.
In 2009, their album 'Echoes of the Void' drew accusations of plagiarism from some critics, which Sudhoff and Thomas denied. They described their music as original and influenced by various sources, and the matter eventually faded without major disruption to their output.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
