FÅGELLE SHARES NEW SINGLE “DET BLEV VÅRA LIV”
NEW ALBUM BRÄNN MIN JORD INCOMING FEBRUARY 27TH
Nordic experimentalist Fågelle returns with an album whose backdrop is the inland of Halland, a patchwork of forests and abandoned mills in southern Sweden – her most personal album yet. Bränn min jord (“Burn my soil”) will be self-released on 27th February. Fågelle shares “Det blev våra liv“ today.
“Det blev våra liv” is a journey into Fågelle’s upbringing on the Swedish countryside. Built from a collage of old recordings from school hallways, samples from computer games, and hissing harmonium tones, the track unfolds as a meditation on growing up and accepting how things turned out.
Liam Amner’s hypnotic drums guide you through fragments of memory and rhythmic electro-pop. Lyrical choirs collide with warped electronic grooves, before resolving into the beating heart of a car driving by into the night.
After years in Berlin and Gothenburg, Fågelle returned home — not out of nostalgia, but as an act of reclamation. She wanted to reconnect with the soil that shaped her and let something new grow from what had been left behind.
Bränn min jord (“Burn my soil”) grew from this process of renewal. Its title references the tradition of burning the ground to spark new life — a metaphor for the personal upheaval and rebuilding at the heart of the album. The music explores the tension of growing up somewhere you know you’ll have to leave, yet which keeps pulling you back. It speaks about identity, memory, and the hidden emotional landscapes of overlooked places.
Fågelle worked with local musicians, dancers, and communities to bring the region into the recordings. She captured dancer Nathalie Ruiz moving across forest floors and wooden stages; collaborated with Våxtorp and Sennan Brass Orchestra; and recorded Stefan Isebring’s self-built hurdy-gurdy and Lars Bylund’s singing and screaming. She also created a 24-hour “sound time capsule” in the communal hall of her small high school town, inviting locals to drop in and leave sonic traces in the album, and worked with EDM producer Samuel Reitmaier and local teenagers to capture the sounds of passing EPA cars, a uniquely Swedish rural subculture. Instrumental sessions took place at Folkhemmet, a forest studio in Unnaryd, with Petter Eriksson and drummer Liam Amner (Hey Elbow, Alice Boman).
Sonically, Bränn min jord blends organic and industrial textures — distorted guitars, brass, field recordings, and unguarded vocals. Atmospheric yet physical, it shifts between light and shadow, desolation and tenderness.
By integrating local musicians, dancers, and even the ambient life of small towns into the recordings, Bränn min jord reimagines how music can reflect and reshape the landscape it comes from and bridge the gap between folk tradition and contemporary sonic art.
Though rooted in Halland, the album reaches beyond, asking how places shape us, how memory lives in the land, and how returning — even when wrenching — can be a way of fully coming home.

Emerging from the Nordic experimental music scene, swedish artist Fågelle is a raw collision of lyrical beauty and unhinged sonic expression. Her intricate soundscapes breathe with detail, blending fragile folkloristic passages with orchestral walls of sound, electronic disturbances, and primal, haunting vocals. Each performance feels like a ritual – a rare, hypnotic experience where the delicate meets the immense, and vulnerability transforms into power.
Following two acclaimed albums — Helvetesdagar (2019) and Den svenska vreden (2023) Fågelle now returns with a bold new project rooted in her home region of Halland, Sweden. This upcoming album marks a shift in process and place: a deep listening to the forests and villages that shaped her. Rather than nostalgia, it’s about reclaiming space and memory and transforming overlooked places into creative frontiers.
Sonically, it’s dark, textural, and atmospheric — distorted guitars, unruly drums, brass, broken electronics, and field recordings from forests, community halls, and teenage corridors of her youth, while lyrical, luminous vocals thread hope through the noise.
She has toured extensively across Europe, both solo and supporting Zola Jesus, BIG|BRAVE, and Esben and the Witch, and played festivals and venues like Roadburn, Way Out West, Berghain Kantine, Petit Bain, and more.
