5K HD is an Austrian avant-garde - Pop - band consisting of the four instrumentalists of the band compost 3 (Martin Eberle, Benny Omerzell, Manu Mayr and 2019 Luke King) and the singer Mira Lu Kovacs ( Smith pulse ).

history

Joint appearances and collaborations started in 2016, initially under the name Kompost 3 feat. Mira Lu Kovacs . With the release of the debut album And To In A ( Seayou Records ), she renamed the band to 5K HD in 2017 .According to Kovacs, the band name is an allusion to the contrast between a “cold product name”, like on smartphones or HD televisions , and the actually “emotional music”. 5K HD made its first appearances with the joint program at the Popfest Vienna and at the Jazzfestival Saalfelden , which was followed by the official start of the tour at WUK and a tour through Austria, Germany and Switzerland.

The album enjoyed extremely positive reviews in the music press, but could not place itself in the Austrian charts . In 2018 the band was nominated at the Amadeus Austrian Music Awards in the category Jazz / World / Blues and for the FM4 Award . And To In A was also one of the nominated albums for the recording studio award Best Sound .

In September 2019 the second album High Performer was released, with which the band also toured Austria and Germany and played concerts in Belgium, Luxembourg, Hungary and the United Kingdom. As part of the Eurosonic Noorderslag festival in the Netherlands, they won the Music Moves Europe Talent Award in 2020 . From VTMÖ was high performers as the Austrian contribution to select the Impala European Independent Album of the Year nominated 2020th
