Description
The acclaimed Montréal-based Swedish singer/composer from Thus Owls and The Moth presents her solo debut. Angell has also worked with Daníel Bjarnason (Ben Frost, Sigur Rós), Arve Henriksen (Supersilent), Lisen Rylander Löve (Midaircondo), Liam ONeill (SUUNS), Wildbirds & Peacedrums, Patrick Watson and more. Erika Angell still remembers the first time she sang this way. The Swedish-born musician was three and a half years old, alone at dusk atop a hill, staring down at the landscape around her parents farmtangled woods, darkening housesand from somewhere deep inside her, she found a voice. It was a song without language, without any specific melody; it was flowing and easy and free. This memory still defines the essence of living, to me, she says. A memory of pure music: untamed, unhesitant, open-hearted. Four decades later, now based in Montreal, Angell is coming back to the beginning, somehow with a debut solo album that reaches back toward that early childhood evening on a hilltop, when the music was raw, solitary and boundless. For fans of: Scott Walker, Jenny Hval, Brigitte Fontaine, Circuit Des Yeux, The Knife, Björk.
