ALBUM OUT NOW

About Me

RELEASE! (If you want the complete album, with booklet, signature and extras, you have to order it from me in person. I will very soon be uploaded to cdbaby and Itunes. At Klicktrack you will only buy the songs in mp3-format.)This is the story of Sun and Shadow, and the borderline in between. It's a sad, violently happy, sleepwalking, passionate trip – ambient noises mixed with both frail and aggressive guitars, electronic drums, piano, mellow choirs and sampled background sounds. These are my tunes, my inner secrets and visual keys.I produce these songs at home, and my aim is to make fragile and authentic music, filled with shifting landscapes and honest lyrics. Most of all this is a monolog between me and myself, a mirror showing past and future.So merry traveler, have e pleasant journey through the backstreets of my mind. And don't hesitate to write me a line.(Also, note that the reverbnationplayer contains demos for a new project, called Gardenia.)Blessed be.Sol
History of Sol SkuggaI had my first piano lessons at 7 years age, and got my first guitar at 16. Wrote songs and lyrics att 11 and got in touch with Cubase SX and Reason and started producing electronica 1999. Since then I've been singing in a few Symfonic metall bands.Staffan Osterlind got involved in this project last autumn, and after adding some guitar solos, theremins etc and remixing my demos/productions, I finally feel satisfied with the sound. You find him in my topfriends. At the moment I'm taking private singing lessons here in Sthlm, while promoting my album Swimming without webbed toes, and booking gigs for next year...
| View Show | Create Your OwnJag dubbelriktad sångerska, naturbarn, storstadstoka.Älskar - Porlande bäckar och väderbiten bark. Skapar - I hopp om att existera. Drömmer - Ibland vaken. Finner - Skarven där cirklarna sluts. Sjunger - Mot frosttunna rutor. Spelar - Flyttar mina pjäser när ni blundar. Skrattar - Föddes med en repa. Skriver - Orden som sitter fast. Fotograferar - Spegelblänk. Tecknar - Linjer i eld. Vakar - Håller det vita skenet borta. Iaktar - Mänskligheten. Väntar - I snöblindhet.Du förmodligen i avsaknad av simhud.
