“Anna von Hausswolff may be the most original and compelling solo artist working in the Western world today.” (The Observer)

British newspaper The Observer once wrote: “Anna von Hausswolff may be the most original and compelling solo artist working in the Western world today.” Anna Michaela Ebba Electra von Hausswolff (SE) is adored by fans & music critics alike and has been making our hearts race for years.
Her timbre is reminiscent of icons like Nico, Diamanda Galás and Kate Bush, with whom she shares her vocal range of four octaves (!). Her music lies at the exciting intersection of art pop, drone and post-metal, with the timbre of her (pipe)organ often playing a prominent role.
Von Hausswolff’s musicality was lovingly instilled in childhood by her father, avant-garde sound artist  Carl Michael von Hausswolff. She now has five albums to her name and in 2018, at the request of Nick Cave, she appeared on stage at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival. There have been collaborations with black metal icons Wolves in the Throne Room, sound terrorists Swans, droners Sunn O))) and Yann Tiersen.
Her love for black metal runs strong—Mayhem being her all-time favorite band—and that ‘subtly’ echoes through her music. During her most recent visit to Belgium, she even had some trouble with fundamentalist catholic groups for once having sung "I made love with the devil" in the song Pills (2009).
At BRDCST you will get a sneak preview of her latest album Atlas Song, planned for release in spring 2025. She composed this music for the dance performance of the same name, created by choreographers Imre and Marne van Opstal, which premiered in 2024 at the prestigious GöteborgsOperan.
