Malin Wättring
On March 25th 2022 Malin Wättring will release the first album where she plays guitar and sings. It’s called “Songs of wounds and healing” will be released on the feministic record label PACAYA records.
The music can be described as indie rock with strong singer-songwriter roots, colored by grunge, jazz and improvisational music. Intimacy and raw power in symbiosis! The lyrics are deeply personal but at the same time universal and deal with topics such as forgiveness, the search for truth and authenticity and the dilemma of both wanting to have and letting go of control in life. The album was recorded at Elementstudion in Gothenburg between November 2020 and February 2021. She has put together a brand new band for the project, consisting of several up & coming musicians such as Olimpia Dynarek - piano (Olimpias Orkan), Maria Dahlin - drums (Fartyg 6) & Johanna Ekholm - bass (Trio Ramberget).
Malin about the album:
“Some may find it strange that I completely change genre, instrument and expression with this album. For me, this is the next natural step on my creative path. I experience that this music comes from the same source as when I write and play jazz & improvisational music. The core is the same, it’s coming from deep within me, from my longing and desire to explore, create, express myself and to meet others in that process. The eight tracks on the album have been written in parallel with the jazz compositions I wrote over the past 10 years. The project has come to mean a lot to me and I’ve wanted to give it time to grow and develop in an organic way. It felt ready to record at about the same time as the pandemic swept the over world. I am so happy and proud to be able to share the music with you! ”
