Editor's review
This minty-fresh Finn makes fully orchestrated indie pop that recalls the lush '70s anthems of George Harrison. Except for the voice part, of course, and pipes are no small part of Swan's songs. Astrid goes from torchy to soaring to saddened in the blink of a hook.
Biography
Who is Astrid Swan? She is from Finland. She writes songs, sings and plays instruments. Astrid asks of herself "Am I a conflicting figure, a radical annoyance with my own songs but also with my masquerades and games of beauty? Am I to be seen with the Marilyns or with the Jonis? Why can I not be with the Bobs or the Antonies?" She has enjoyed playing shows with Jose Gonzalez, Mew, Loney Dear, Jamie Cullum & Lou Barlow. None of these people look or sound like Astrid Swan. Poverina is the title of her debut album. People who have heard it love it. Now you have the chance to hear and love the record as well, when Minty Fresh Records releases Poverina this spring 2007. If you really want to experience who Astrid Swan is, listen to her music. Astrid Swan is not heavy metal.
