LEMY Creates Magic with Open-Air Performance at Lake Sevan

From the vast shores of Lake Sevan to the boundless sound of “Road to the Moon,” LEMY builds bridges through music.

On 20th August, under the vast Armenian skies and against the shimmering expanse of Lake Sevan, rising Moscow-based indie rock artist LEMY (Anastasiia Ledovskaia) redefined what it means to perform live. In an open-air concert organized by Chuvakam Studio, she transformed a lakeside gathering into a communal act of discovery, drawing in travelers from Germany, France, the United States, and beyond. The result was not just a concert, but an immersive moment where geography, music, and spirit fused into something unforgettable.

For an artist who has always positioned herself “between worlds”-culturally, musically, and linguistically-this performance represented the crystallization of her vision. The natural acoustics of the lake created an ethereal backdrop for LEMY’s distinctive sound, a fusion of indie rock, synth-pop, and shoegaze, where reverberating guitars and atmospheric synth textures enveloped the crowd.

“Your voice doesn’t echo-it expands,” LEMY remarked afterwards. “The sound travels across the water and comes back transformed, like the landscape is collaborating with you.” Her words capture the essence of the evening. Without the confinement of walls or predictable venue acoustics, her songs resonated differently, stretching into the twilight like they were designed for such an elemental setting.

The Lake Sevan concert spotlighted selections from LEMY’s debut EP Land of Light, her first release in English. Produced by Vladislav Mazur at Chuvakam Studio, the EP dives into themes of emotional awakening, healing, and personal renewal. It is a record LEMY has described as “the sound of me learning how not to disappear,” and its layered guitar work, coupled with her evocative bilingual delivery, drew audible sighs and cheers from the crowd.

Influenced by the expansive atmospherics of The 1975, the raw honesty of Wolf Alice, and the experimental textures of Radiohead, her performance brought a sense of intimacy even in the open air. Songs unfurled slowly, like lanterns on the water, then built into crescendos that matched the grandeur of the setting sun.

Reflecting on the experience, LEMY explained: “Concert venues usually mean walls, stages, and predictable acoustics. This performance happened where water meets sky, and it transformed my understanding of what my voice can do.”

Part of what makes LEMY so compelling is her identity as a bilingual artist. Writing and performing in both Russian and English, she weaves together the depth and introspection of Eastern European traditions with the electrifying edge of UK-inspired alternative music. The result is a sound both familiar and otherworldly, grounded yet cosmic.

Her shows in Moscow have already earned her a reputation as one of the city’s most promising indie voices, but the Lake Sevan performance revealed her international potential. Tourists who stumbled upon the concert found themselves immersed in an unplanned yet profound musical journey. For many, it was their first introduction to LEMY-and it was unforgettable.

If the concert gave a panoramic sense of LEMY’s artistry, her 2025 single “Road to the Moon” offers the distilled essence of it in just four minutes. The track is a concentrated burst of guitar-driven power, layered with shimmering atmospherics and her unmistakable vocals.

Here, LEMY’s voice becomes the guiding light: one moment intimate and mellifluous, the next soaring with unrestrained urgency. It’s a track that proves her ability to balance raw, powerhouse indie rock dynamics with cinematic expansiveness, making it both immediately accessible and richly rewarding upon repeat listens.

With guitars turned up to eleven, “Road to the Moon” underscores her command of contrast: delicate verses expanding into explosive choruses, atmospheric textures colliding with razor-edged riffs. It is a song that feels both grounded in the present and untethered – like a vessel preparing to leave orbit.

The story of LEMY is one of building bridges. Moscow-born yet globally minded, she channels her influences through an alternative lens that resists easy categorization. Her work embraces experimentation while remaining emotionally direct, an alchemy that resonates with both Eastern European listeners and the growing international audience she is reaching through platforms and performances.

Her debut EP “Land of Light” verifies her ability to craft atmospheric soundscapes that speak to universal experiences-loss, renewal, and the quiet strength found in transformation. Meanwhile, singles like “Road to the Moon” showcase her instinct for immediacy, offering entry points into her artistry for new listeners discovering her for the first time.

It’s worth noting the role of Chuvakam Studio (https://chuvakam.ru/) in curating this one-of-a-kind event. Known for its organic approach to music making, the studio emphasizes authenticity and intimacy, encouraging artists to step outside traditional frameworks. By situating LEMY on the shores of Lake Sevan, they created not just a concert, but a living dialogue between nature and sound.

This commitment to breaking down boundaries, between artist and audience, between venue and environment-aligns perfectly with LEMY’s own ethos of creating music “between worlds.” With the resounding success of her Lake Sevan concert and the release of “Road to the Moon”, LEMY is ready to extend her reach far beyond her Moscow roots. Her music is already available worldwide on streaming platforms, and the word-of-mouth from her Armenian performance is sure to reverberate across borders.

As she continues to move forward, one thing is clear: LEMY is not simply performing songs, she is sculpting experiences, forging spaces where listeners can hear not just the notes, but the resonance of landscapes, cultures, and emotions interwoven.

For those who seek music that transcends categories and connects worlds, LEMY is an artist to follow closely. Whether it’s the sweeping soundscapes of “Land of Light”, the raw magnetism of “Road to the Moon”, or her spellbinding live performances, her work captures what it means to stand at the edge of possibility, looking skyward. At Lake Sevan, her voice expanded into the horizon. With each new release, it expands further-towards the moon, and beyond.
