Winter Took His Life Cover Tegan & Sara With all the big news dropping this week so far, now feels like a good "eye of the storm" to appreciate this understated gem from Winter Took His Life : a forlorn, slow-burning acoustic take on Tegan and Sara's '07 The Con single "Back In Your Head," released as a free MP3 this spring. WTHL's Susanna Brandin is working on a new record under that moniker as well as an LP with the band Hunt, but in the meantime, she shared this heartfelt track [...]

(Photo by Donna Ward/Getty Images) Thought I would put the good old blogger "Mixtape" for Saturday with some tracks that have been getting some decent play around Slowcoustic HQ along with some new ones I just started listening to. Some are from upcoming albums, some are from albums a few years old, some aren't officially released at all. Hope you enjoy this rag tag bunch of tracks loosely combined for a nice little playlist to import for that next moment you need some solid "folky" tunes. Starting with a new one from [...]

3 für 1: Winter took his life, Cedarwell und Madamm sind auf ihrer Europatournee eine Band. Gemeinsam spielen die drei Musiker die melancholischen Songperlen von Winter took his life. Winter took his life-Fräulein Susanna Brandin lebt in Schweden und macht im Alleingang zauberhafte Musik. Weil alleine auftreten mühsam ist, wird sie auf ihren Tourneen von kleinen Musikgrössen wie Cedarwell [...]

„Es pilgern drei schwedische Singer-Songwriter nach Aarau." Was wie ein schlechter Witz klingt, ist heute Abend nichts anderes als die Wahrheit. Das MyStage Schweden-Special im KiFF konnte für den heutigen Abend drei Juwelen aus dem Norden für sich beanspruchen, die die Seele Schwedens umfassend repräsentieren: nostalgisch, melancholisch und magisch. Und das auch noch für lau. Susanna Brandin ist eine Singer/Songwriterin im klassischen Sinne: allein mit ihrem Charme und ihrer geliebten Gitarre wusste sie schon vor einigen Jahren das Aarauer Publikum um den Finger zu wickeln. Mit ihrem Projekt Winter Took [...]

The music that comes out of my speakers right now feels like a soundtrack to the cold, snow-covered landscape outside my window. This first real taste of winter makes an effort to penetrate the window to reach inside, but the tones from Winter Took His Life create a comfortable peace in the room. Now the name "Winter Took His Life" may seem a little ominous to have as a soundtrack right now, but I feel really good. This naked music with beautiful melodies rather promises that the sky will clear up and the gray days will be followed [...]

Winter Took His Life is the moniker adopted by Gothenburg's Susanna Brandin. Characterised by an incredibly smooth and sultry voice, she writes simple and soothing songs about life and love. Y'know, the kind of songs that are, on some days, all you really need when you can't get what you want... Winter Took His Life Blood Bone Home Alone split (download) [...]

Here is a tune recorded by Oskar Erlandsson and Susanna Brandin in 2005 that was released on archive.org just today. Thank you. Really amazing singer/songwriter kind of stuff. A beautiful song, done well. Oskar Erlandsson and Susanna Brandin recorded the tune in Lund, Sweden. The rest of the release features different folks at different times, but it is well worth the listen. The release is called Björn Kleinhenz/Winter Took His Life - Blood bone / Home alone 2 on the netlabel, It's a Trap . [...]

Susanna Brandin's songs remind me of cold winter mornings staring out of a grey bus window in Junior High. They capture the perfect mixture of hope and lonliness and air so cold it burns your eyes. Her song writing is delicate but not timid, quietly beautiful and unabashedly aching with emotion. These are songs for latchkey memories; songs for desperate snow angels. She has a few homemade eps out now and if you contact her site you can purchase one. I've still been kicking myself for discovering her music just days after she played here in New York [...]
