After a four year wait, Stockholm three-piece <b>Museum of Bellas Artes</b> cut the ribbon on their eagerly anticipated debut LP, 'Pieces', out 11th November on Best Fit Recordings.

Full-bodied, baroque and seductively melodramatic, 'Pieces' trails the darker climes of luxe-pop, melting disco beats into church organ, sustained synth pads into chiming bells and pistols-at-dawn guitars into post-punk bass lines. 

Alice Luther's red velvet voice flails like a Grand Dame treading the Boards - the operatic electronica of opener 'Fantasia' paying its dues to Goldfrapp's Felt Mountain. 'Twine' scurries along in a balearic whirlwind and the haunting presence of 'Maze of Shells' lingers like a Victorian ghost. 

'Bear Cubs' and 'Swan Boats' flex their rhythmic muscles with guitar and never has a 'Relapse' sounded more enticing. It's all brought to a suitably theatrical conclusion with album clincher 'Glass'.

Childhood friends Joanna Herskovits, Leonard Öhman and Alice Luther assembled the band back in 2009 and released the neon-flecked debut EP 'Days Ahead' a year later. 

As they up the sonic histrionics and dim the lights, forget everything you thought you knew about Swedish pop and start over.

Museum of Bellas Artes’ debut album ‘Pieces’ will be released on 11th November, 2013 via Best Fit Recordings in digital and limited edition vinyl formats.

hear the drummer
get ready
we watch the sun rise
can there ever be forever
or is it just a lie
so look into the well
the waters will caress your soul
and search and tell you what you're looking for
think your missing out lately
coz you're insatiable baby
so shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow

Air - Electronic Performer

Multi-award winning experimental pop auteur, Sasha Perera aka Perera Elsewhere is a producer, musician, songwriter and DJ who has garnered critical acclaim from Pitchfork, NPR, BBC, FADER, Vogue, KCRW and many more. Her use of technology to create and to experiment with her voice, lyrics, trumpet, percussive beats, bass frequencies, sound design and existential ideas all led to what fans and press initially coined the ‘Doom-Folk’ sound of the Perera Elsewhere project. She found a home on Los Angeles based label Friends of Friends where she has released 3 albums that have seen her sonic imprint graciously evolve. Her music evokes a hybrid of comparisons such as Mica Levi, Dean Blunt, Jon Hassell and Massive Attack.
Journeys have punctuated Perera Elsewhere’s life perspective and career, taking her from London’s vibrant club scene to Berlin’s bass experimentalist underground. All of which developed her shapeshifting approach to music. Elsewhere, but always rooted. No matter where Perera has found herself musically–from live shows & DJ sets at institutions such as Berghain, the Guggenheim, the Hamburg Philharmonic, Sonar Festival and Boiler Room.
Her music has been licensed for Ava Du Vernay’s ‘Queen Sugar’ series, by Oscar winning director Paolo Sorrentino for his ‘Loro’ film and recently by Apple for the promotional launch of their faster than ever M2 chip.
A true multi-hyphenate, Perera’s open and autodidact technique is also highlighted by a long list of side releases, collaborations as well as bespoke compositions for moving image, theatre and audio-visual installations for leading global institutions such as Bass Museum Miami (2022 and ZKM in Karlsruhe (2024). She produced 4 songs for German icon Nina Hagen’s recent album (2023).
Perera Elsewhere won ‘Best Act ’at the VIA awards 2022, the only independent award for musical innovation in Germany. She also won Sony Music Germany’s ‘Female Producer Award’ in 2024.
Perera’s published works have led to invitations by renowned institutions such as Ableton, Native Instruments, Yale or Berlin’s University of Arts and the award- winning Errrormusic programme to share her creative knowledge via studio sessions, workshops, teaching, and mentoring.   Sasha has also worked with the British Council and Goethe Institute as an artist and co-curator or mentor on music projects and music-tech education initiatives across Asia and Africa .  She recently composed the sound for a Kampnagel dance/ theatre production titled' Reparation Nation.'  Perera Elsewhere is clearly at home in many places.
