What do you consider to be the darkest piece of music you’ve ever heard?
Probably Paysage D’Hiver - Der Weg
How would you characterize your own music?
We usually call our music alternative rock with shoegaze influences, and with electronic drums. Our music is sometimes heavy, but almost always melodic. I guess we love pop music too much to make it even heavier. We’re listening to a lot of different kinds of music from the 80’s and 90’s so our music is really influenced by that. For example we use a lot of drum samples from that time. But we still want it to sound contemporary.
What are your musical aspirations?
That someone wants to hear songs that we’ve made and think that they are, at least, kinda good.
What are your main musical inspirations?
Cordelia: Dolly Parton, Courtney Love and Swervedriver
Elin: Some of the bands that I’ve been listening to the most are Cocteau Twins, Choir Boy and Red House Painters. I’m listening to a lot of heavier music too, like Kindling, Broken Water and Static Daydream.
What are your main goals in life?
Diego Maradona's goal at the world cup 1986 was great. Other than that Cordelia wants to write songs for others, Felix wants to work as a nurse and Elin wants to have a cottage on the countryside.
What motivates you to create?
The demon that lives in my pancreas. I call him Asmodeus. It’s just really cool to have an idea, like a melody or something, and then make it a complete song.
Are you more of an early bird or a night owl?
Cordelia: I’m an afternoon turkey.
Elin: I’m a night owl but I like mornings as well because it’s a new day and you get to eat breakfast. Love that shit.
Besides music, what other art forms would you like to explore?
Elin: I do a lot of ceramic art, for example I did the dragon on the cover of the single "Rodan", from our last EP. Usually I do other things than dragons, hehe. I also work a bit with graphics, like for example the covers for our four singles from our new album. In the Spunsugar project we have also worked quite a bit with making music videos. So I think that I would like to explore all of that more.
Cordelia: I also like graphics and I paint and draw sometimes. I want to start photographing also and if could I'd make movies and TV shows.
Which is the very first record that had a big impact on you?
Cordelia: The Cranberries - Bury The Hatchet
Elin: In Flames - Come Clarity or System Of A Down - Mezmerize
What is the best decade for music?
Probably the 90's.
What do your future plans include?
We would like to play more live outside of Sweden. We want to do fun stuff!
