V11 x BIRD presents: Joel Sarakula

**Soothing soft rock, sunny soul, and a cheeky wink; Joel Sarakula comes to V11 on November 22 with his brand new album _Soft Focus_.**

Born in Sydney, based in the United Kingdom, and with an international mindset, Sarakula knows how to create soulful pop that takes you back to the '70s while staying firmly rooted in the present. His new album _Soft Focus_ is just that: warm, layered, and nostalgic, like a Polaroid with a soft haze. Think of a mix of **Ned Doheny**, **Boz Scaggs**, **Todd Rundgren**, and **Michael Franks**, with a contemporary twist like **Young Gun Silver Fox**, **Benny Sings**, and **Drugdealer**.

On _Soft Focus_, Sarakula delivers a colorful mix of soft rock, funk, and indie pop, spread across twelve compact but atmospheric tracks. From the soulful single _Back For Your Love_ and the summery _King of Spain_ to the light-psychedelic _Bird of Paradise_ and _Microdosing_: this is an album that carries you away, warms you, and surprises you.

Live, Joel is just as captivating. With his vintage glasses, soft voice, and tongue-in-cheek charisma, he has previously performed on stages like Glastonbury, SXSW, and Primavera Sound. Expect a show full of charm, retro sounds, and fresh energy, an evening where you'll feel as if you are in a parallel '70s world.
