Zombelle

Subdued, creepy sounds that will make you dream away. It's art.

SALEM

SALEM is a group from US and they are one of the most famous among Witch House bands. Their music is beautiful noise that conveys a deep darkness, filled with electronic sounds and beats with chopped, muffled voices and subdued hip-hop.

Sällskapet

Sällskapet consists of Hellberg, Ossler and Thåström (singer of Ebba Grön, Imperiet and Peace Love & Pitbulls). They worked on this in secret between '05 and '07, I think. I'd call this dark industrial-ambient, and some of the songs are instrumental. Over all, the album gives you this sad, nostalgic feeling. The lyrics are in Swedish and very personal, the way Thåström writes them nowadays. Something that you should listen to in the middle of the night. Also, on Järnstaden, Nina Ramsby is singing.

White Ring

Recently, I started listening to music in the Witch House scene. A style that is becoming more and more known. The duo "White Ring" (USA) is a band that is characteristic of the style. Their music is typical Witch House, darkwave, trance, ambient and lo-fi. The sound is very dark and it feels like a horror movie with muffled cries. And one imagines a dark cemetery where the fog is dense and little girls, with white nightgowns, creeps after you and just waiting to get their teeth into your flesh. The result may be that you get creepy chills all over your body. I really like the horrifying feeling, and the mysterious sound.

Suis La Lune

I don't even know where to start. This is the band that got me into the whole thing. The band that changed my taste in music, and made me discover so, so much more. This is a great screamo band from Sweden. They have some ambiental influences and a lot of feelings. They are known for their awesome live performances, and they are actually going on a Europe tour this April with Pianos Become The Teeth, a post-rock/screamo band from the states. It is one of my goals in life to see them play, and it seems like it's finally going to happen (if they only would release the dates!) Also, the band members have a lot of side-projects, and it seems like everything these guys touches turns to gold. Anyway, this is a wonderful band, so check them out.

Fever Ray

If you ever have heard of the Swedish duo The Knife (which is a very good band) then you have probably heard of Karin Dreijer Andersson. In 2009, she released her solo album with the artist name Fever Ray. The music is a mixture of ambient, folk and electronic.

Karin has a fantastic unique voice that is spellbinding. Every time I hear it I get chills all over my body. It's like my whole world stops and I fills with so many thoughts and emotions. A great feeling. The lyrics are special in a strange and brilliant way, that really appeals to me. One attraction that I can't get enough of.
Therefore, Fever Ray is one of my great inspirations. She's really worth listening to.

She also makes beautiful videos and the song "When I grow up" is both my favorite song and video. Another song I like a lot is "Triangle Walks".
I saw her live last year and I became overwhelmed by the wonderful lighting show she gave us. It was just like in the video "Stranger than kindness", when they used a room with lamps that were lit on and off. It's really cool. You should check out all three videos
