About Ren Ren

Ren Ren — Kati Brien and Nick Angel

Ren Ren is a Denmark-based singer-songwriter duo and a married couple. That relationship is the defining engine of their sound: an intuitive interplay between two voices that feels almost conversational, the kind of intimacy that seeps into every note without trying.

Their debut Wild Geese Wedding spills over with longing and strange grace. There's a sepia-hued country feel to it, or maybe it's just familiar, like the thrum of the road beneath a time machine from the early 70s. Some of Denmark's finest musicians were good enough to drop in and lend a hand.

Mixed in Berlin by Charis Karantzas and mastered by Bernhard Range at Schaltergeräte Studios.

◆ What They're Saying

"Sweeping and pastoral. A pint of farmhouse cider at dusk in a field. There is a luscious American sensibility — complex strata and time signature shifts that are quite ethereal, kept on their toes with the sax, like a sonic shepherd."

— On Calling Out Your Name

"The ghost of Carver in the kitchenette. A rucksack, a stubbed cigarette and a Greyhound bus ticket. Springsteen and Nebraska — America, rolling out like a map."

— On Soul's on Fire

"The first notes of a hurricane wind through the fence wire. Cowboy tenements, tumbleweed and bullet casings down a dusty track — and then a psychedelic twist: a reel-to-reel tape spooling in reverse, spiralling into mid-60s fantasia. Relentless in its splendour as it lifts and lifts towards the sun. Woven together in gossamer harmonies — dancing upon the wings of the celestial creature, soaring high above us."

— On Baksheesh for Winged Cupid

Kati Brien

Kati is a musician and composer whose restless creative life ranges far beyond any single genre. A tenured member of the Aarhus Jazz Orchestra — where she plays saxophone, flute and clarinet — her 2025 album Zelebrity Zebra, released under her own name with her long-running dream band, is a jazz record of rare warmth and invention. On Wild Geese Wedding she brings that same command to bear on a different canvas: playing saxophone, clarinet, flute, harmonica, guitar, bass, keyboards, mandolin and piano, singing on every track, and overseeing the production with a quiet authority that holds the whole record together.

Nick Angel

Nick wrote every song on Wild Geese Wedding. If his songs are the bones of the record, his lyrics instinctively commune with the spirit. Australian-born and a published novelist, his writing draws on a lifetime of wide distances.
