Dear Suzy
Dear Suzy is a solo project by Zuzanna Juszkiewicz, a multi instrumentalist and a singer song writer originating from Gdansk, Poland who now lives in Vancouver, British Columbia. Dear Suzy’s compositions can be best described as a curious balance between experimentation and uniformity. She plays with the threshold of tone like with yarn, her heart suspended spins melodies with passionate integrity. Her sound is comparable to CocoRosie, it is unique in texture and wonderfully-strange as it boasts an odd-old-timey flare, march-like procession, dogmatic themes as well as experimental folk.
A Lanky Swede
Sometimes you have to abandon all that is familiar in order to become someone new. Such was the journey of Ola Klüft and how he became “a lanky swede.” Unfolding like a fairy tale, Ola Klüft and his band The Perishers entered the musical limelight amid big arenas and high profile music production. After a few years silence, Klüft is back and he’s doing it his own way: alone.His solo project a lanky swede is intentionally an antithesis to everything grand and hyped-up. It is a brave journey back to the simplicity of the basement.
The swede was born in Umeå, a town in northern Sweden where the sun never sets in the summer but the winters are long, arctic cold and dark. Ola has always walked his own path, most of all musically. When hardcore punk dominated the local scene he started The Perishers, a band that bet their popularity on slow pop music, filled with moonlit melancholy.
It was a bet that paid off. The Perishers were lauded by both critics and fans for their low-key melodies and Ola’s mesmerizing singing voice. They released three albums and toured Europe, Asia and North America headlining and opening for such acts as Aqualung, Mew and Sarah McLachlan. Songs by The Perishers were also frequently featured in popular television series such as Grey’s Anatomy, Veronica Mars, The OC, One Tree Hill and 16 and Pregnant.
