Fågelle (SE) + ROXY JULES solo

Fågelle kommer ud af den nordiske eksperimentelle musikscene som en vild kollision af det lyrisk smukke og det grænseløst rå, hvor sprudlende lydlandskaber møder poesi på svensk. Hendes stemme skærer gennem musikken og bliver et gravitationspunkt, hvorfra fortællinger vokser om eksistentiel angst og oplevelser af at være kvinde.
Som soloartist blander Fågelle guitar, sang og elektronik på en organisk og udtryksfuld måde, der skaber spændende ny musik i krydsfeltet mellem eksperimentel musik og pop.

Sammen med producer og samarbejdspartner Henryk Lipp (Blue for Two, Anna von Hausswolff, Union Carbide) har Fågelle indspillet to albums: Helvetesdagar (2019) og Den svenska vreden (2023), hvor Joakim Thåström medvirker, og som er blevet rost af kritikere både i Sverige og internationalt. Det svenske magasin Hymn beskriver Fågelle som "en af de allerbedste, svensk musik har lige nu."

Fågelle har turneret alene og sammen med bands som Big Brave og Esben and the Witch og optrådt på blandt andet den hollandske festival Roadburn, Berghain Kantine i Berlin, Electrowerkz i London, Petit Bain i Paris, Zé dos Bois-galleriet i Lissabon og Rhiz i Wien.

ROXY JULES solo:
ROXY JULES bevæger sig i et kontrastfyldt univers, hvor blodtørstig støjrock og forvrængede guitarer mødes med elektroniske beats, singer/songwriting og ROXY JULES’ indtagende vokal og længselsfulde tekster. Hun er blevet beskrevet som en slags kærlighedsbarn af PJ Harvey, Mazzy Star og The Kills, men har helt sikkert også sin helt egen lyd. Melodierne lever på mange måder et farligt liv, da ROXY JULES elsker at placere uventede forhindringer på deres vej, så de ofte snubler eller må finde nye stier at bevæge sig ned ad. Alligevel er der ingen tvivl om, at det er teksterne og melodierne, der bærer lytterne gennem sangene.

ENGLISH:
Emerging out of the nordic experimental music scene, Fågelle is a wild collision of lyrical beauty and unhinged, raw expression, where soundscapes, heaving with intricate detail, meet radically fragile and powerful vocals.
Her solo live shows move between quiet folkloristic singing passages and almost orchestral sound walls permeated by electronic disturbances. Songs building on a guitar riff, slowly diving into dark obscurity. Rural Gothic and urban artificial light – moving in between these poles.

On her newest album Den svenska vreden (The Swedish rage), out on Medication Time Records (BRUIT ≤, Glassing), she explores feelings of isolation and anger in collage-like soundscapes made with twisted field recordings, mobile memories, digital trash, dark electronics, and howling choirs while moving between harmony and noise. She juxtaposes lyrical songwriting and disruptive experiments to reflect the whole in all their facets.

Den svenska vreden is recorded and produced with long-time collaborator Henryk Lipp (Anna von Hausswolff, Millencolin), with whom she also made her debut album Helvetesdagar, which Swedish Gaffa called “a straight through uncompromising, filterless, honest, courageous and masterful album”. Since its release in 2019, she’s toured Europe by herself and supporting BIG|BRAVE and Esben and the Witch, playing venues and festivals such as Roadburn, Berghain Kantine in Berlin, Electrowerkz in London, and Petit Bain in Paris.

ROXY JULES solo:
ROXY JULES revolves around distorted guitars, electronic beats and ROXY JULES’ intriguing vocal and lyrics and shows how beauty, longing, bloodthirsty noiserock, singer/songwriting and raw power can interact in the best possible way. Her music has been described as balancing somewhere between The Kills, PJ Harvey and Mazzy Star. But she definitely also has a sound of her own! The melodies live a dangerous life in many ways, as ROXY JULES loves to place unexpected obstacles in their path, causing them to often stumble or having to find new paths to follow. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that it is the melodies and the lyrics that carry the listeners through the songs.
