Ciao Lucifer

About

Ciao Lucifer is an Amsterdam indie-pop duo formed by high school friends Marnix Dorrestein (guitar) and Willem Wits (drums). They channel life's hardships into danceable, upbeat songs whose lyrics carry more weight than the sunny surface suggests. Their third album No Work All Play came out in October 2024 on Warner Music, and in 2026 they announced a fourth record, Sunset Riders. Live, they stitch their songs together like a DJ set, keeping the energy in constant motion.
