EMILIE LUND FROM STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN…

It took quite some time but here she is: Emilie Lund from Stockholm, Sweden. Emilie is a young and talented singer/songwriter who is inspired by musicians like Nick Drake and Coco Rosie. Listening to music of others is by far not her only inspiration: Studying theatre at daytime and taking long walks through the nightly streets of Stockholm is part of her musical recipe. But the most important ingredient for her music is a remote area, far away from the city, somewhere in the Swedish countryside. The woods around that area can be seen as one of her main sources of inspiration. She spent half of her life in a house, practically in the forest – where she used to live with her parents. Whenever she gets there, creative things happen.

She doesn’t need much to sound as wonderful as she does: “I like to make music with simple tools, whatever I can find in the house, my voice and my guitar.” Emilie sees beauty in simplicity. Things, just like music, have to have a soul, she says. “The music has to come from somewhere, a feeling that you just need to express. I love simplicity and intimacy and I try not to think too much about the sound.”

After Emilie recorded a handful of songs in 2007, we stumbled upon her via Myspace. We immediately fell on love with her music and asked her whether she would like to release an EP with us. We can’t tell you how glad we are she agreed.

The 5 tracks of the Emilie Lund EP can be downloaded for free – you are also free to copy and redistribute the songs for non-commercial purposes. For example, if you want to put her music on a CD and give it to a friend, please go ahead. A printable artwork comes along with the release, too. If you want a proper CD, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Emilie. She made a limited number of CDs, which can be purchased via Email.
