bio: Singer From Sweden.
DEBUT ALBUM: TRANSPARENT KNIVES
Written about Transparent Knives:
From Absolut Noise:
"This is all about darkness. And hope. Not about the frozen lake but about the cold dirt underneath. Billie, the little shy voice behind Promise and the Monster, is the Alice in wonderland's rabbit. She leads your thoughts to your worst nightmare.
Some Atom Egoyan's Sweethereafters. Some David Lynch weirdness : you're in the red room with Agent Cooper watching the dwarf talking in reverse. And if you don't get it, at least you feel it and you're scared.
As sweet as Joanna Newsom, but less boring. As akward as Stina Nordenstam. Like José Gonzalez if he were a serial killer.
To sum up : THE next Swedish big thing. Period."
from green clothes music
"Courtesy of Imperial / Playground, her debut album, Transparent Knives, hits stores in one week, and I have to say, for a debut album, it’s very impressive. Eerily impressive, even. She released an EP earlier this year (the Antarktis EP), and between the two, I find myself listening to many of the songs several times in a row before moving on through each release. There’s really no better way to say it: Sweden is just knocking them out of the park lately."
