Molly Nilsson

Event Details

Berlin based, Swedish-born artist Molly Nilsson is a firm believer in the D.I.Y approach. Her insular, dark synth pop is balanced by the swooping melodies and detached grace of her vocals. Nilsson’s first album, 2008’s These Things Take Time, was released with only 500 copies made, then followed the next year by another album, Europa. She then set out to self-release a record a year on Dark Skies Association (Follow the Light in 2010, History in 2012, and Travels in 2013, the latter co-released with Night School). Along the way, she and John Maus recorded a version of “Hey Moon” for his 2011 album, We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves. Always fond of traveling, Nilsson took a step out of her comfort zone by heading to Argentina for two months, where she made Sólo Paraíso: The Summer Songs EP. Zenith was released by Dark Skies Association and Night School in late 2015 followed by the expansive Imaginations. Nilsson is set to release an 8th full- length album, 2020, on October 21st.
