Cecilia & Stormen

Cecilia & Stormen Cecilia Erixon explores life and always wants to see things from different perspectives. Together with her band, she interprets emotions such as love and melancholy with a twisted undertone.

The music is best described as jazz-infused singer-songwriter music, with catchy melodies, confused lyrics and complex harmonies. A distant relative of Thom Yorke and Joni Mitchell, with less falsetto. Through improvisation, the band challenges the boundaries of music, opening up vast expanses and creating a keen sense of presence.

Emrik Classon is a guitarist from Alingsås who now lives in Berlin. With his distinctive New York sound, he takes a central role in the quartet. A complex musical language and a Rosenwinkel-inspired guitar sound complement the songs’ quirkiness. Edvin Larsson Scott is a double bassist and Monk enthusiast from Uppsala whose melodic playing ties the band together with drummer Arvid Ander from Örebro. Arvid’s background in swing, hard bop and Motown shapes his raw style, which brings a powerful energy to the band.

ENGLISH

Cecilia & Stormen interprets feelings like love and melancholy with a twisted undertone. Storm is an ongoing theme in the lyrics and performance, which symbolises struggles of a young adult’s life, and the compositions might be described as jazz-infused singer-songwriter music, with catchy melodies, confused lyrics and intense harmonies. Adding a 1990s New York guitar sound, melodic double bass and energetic 1960s swing drums to the mix makes the sound of the band intriguing and fresh. Cecilia writes her songs in the tradition of Joni Mitchell and Thom Yorke, and brings an intense vocal performance, both lyrically and melodically. Through improvisation, the band challenges the boundaries of written music, conveying powerful emotion and a keen sense of presence to the audience and to the musicians themselves.
