Hey Elbow  
Ellen Petterson (horns, electronics) 
Julia Ringdahl (vocals, guitar) 
Liam Amner (drums) 

Hey Elbow formed in 2013, and the debut single Blanca quickly made an impression and created waves in music media and on the net. The attention paved the way for gigs all over Scandinavia, London and Berlin, as well as opening for among others Wildbirds & Peacedrums, Cayucas and Color War.  

There music is another creature that strives to be free, and therefore Hey Elbow like to skip the usual genre descriptions and musical references when it comes to their creation.

The band took its name from an aerobics warm-up exercise they were taught while standing in the audience waiting for a show by The Knife. With their background in jazz and musical education, combined with an interest in noise, improvisation and freedom, they make odd and haunting pop music with a unique and personal expression. None and all of the three members are fronting the band, a democratic philosophy that gives the flugelhorn as much space as the singing, the electronics and the drums.

 "In our music the sound is at least as important as the actual compositions. We like to add little details to the mix, and they don't have to be notes, they can be just noises or hiss. They add just as much to the music as tonal things."  

They describe a liberating feeling when they started playing together, like finding something that had been waiting to take form. Their creative process is more intuitive than analytical and they don't limit themselves with thought-out stylistic moves.  

"Most of our inspiration is probably unconscious. We don't talk a lot before we write a song about how we want it to turn out, we try to just let everything happen. We have never talked about in what direction Hey Elbow should move or how we want to sound."

Atmosphere and weight, emotional charge, beautiful melodies and and a minimal restraint in combination with a joyful experimentation production-wise, are all contributing components which make it hard to forget Hey Elbow once you've heard them. Name-dropping comparisons feels superfluous, the music is powerful enough on it's own. 

The debut album was recorded in nine days, together with producer Joakim Lindberg in Studio Möllan in Malmö, Sweden.

Lisa Alma's new single "Fine" is taken from her soon to be released album "sweater" out on April 21st.

"one of the most exciting new artists around" 
- Record Rewind Play (UK)

“This producer sticks out. Her downcast electronic soul has a pop edge but hidden depths, with the soft, lilting arrangements matched against her imposing, emotive voice. Lisa Alma's powerful songwriting seems to dwell on shadow, allusion.” - Clash Music (UK)

"Fine is a featherlight pop song without being cheesy - which is something only the grand ones manage to achieve. Grand bliss." - Poule d’Or (FRA)

“She is the heir to the subtle smooth grooves of Sade but her music can dovetail with Cat Power’s swooning romance: playful, willingly amicable and somehow more optimistic."
- GHOST FM (SWE)

"A full sensory experience" 
- Wonderland Magazine (UK)

"Flawlessly enticing and smooth pop gem" 
- FAMEmagazine  (UK)

"Tempting and lustful. Jessie Ware meets The XX" 
- Indie Hoy (ARG)

"Classy, intimate, contemplative, air-tight" 
- Going Solo (ITA)

"Das Meer macht Musik" 
- Spex - Magazin für Popkultur (GER)

LYRICS

we’re all on our own, all by ourselves
no one to trust, it is you and yourself
in this town we keep our pale heads down

you gave me your hand and we ran thru the fields
the rain like a wall of mistake to defeat
and i know, we got a long way home

if i could be the on you want
your made-up love, your only hope
if i could take you back to se
there’s nothing left for you and me
and all we have is in our hands

tonight on the run. tonight on the streets
we don’t get what we want
so we steal what we need in our lives
our right to lie

but deep under our skin and deep under our scars
we’re chasing our dreams to escape who we are
and i know, we got a long way home

if i could be the on you want
your made-up love, your only hope
if i could take you back to se
there’s nothing left for you and me
and all we have is in our hands

you waited for years to get rid of your fears
they faded away with the light in your eyes
no one is the one, but i know you were right
you believed in my thoughts, you believed in my lies

if i could be the on you want
your made-up love, your only hope
if i could take you back to se
there’s nothing left for you and me
and all we have is in our hands
