CILIHILI

Nu debuterar Cecilia Nordlund som soloartist under namnet ”Cilihili” och vi på Margit Music är stolta över att få ge ut hennes första album ”Not listening”.

Cilihili låter som inget annat samtidigt som låtarna har ett tidlöst skimmer kring sig – vackert, spralligt, hårt och roligt på samma gång.
”Not listening” blir en oförutsägbar debutskiva med modigt låtmaterial, personliga texter och direkta melodier som inspirerar till både glädje och eftertänksamhet. Pippi Långstrump på knark. Texterna handlar om allt ifrån hämmade hemmafruar, drakar och Helsingborg till internetporr.

Arbetet med att spela in skivan ”Not Listening” är redan påbörjat och produceras av Christoffer Lundqvist i Aerosol Grey Machine-studios med musikerna Fredrik Myhr och Lotta Wenglén.
Cecilia Nordlund är en av Sveriges mest originella sångerskor och låtskrivare. Cecilias personliga röst och melodispråk lämnar få oberörda och hon har blivit känd för sina ärliga och angelägna texter fyllda med både humor och svärta.

Under åren har Cecilia gjort samarbeten och varit duettpartner till Freddie Wahling, Marit Bergman, Magnus Carlson och till våren 2009 är hon återigen aktuell i en duett med Karin Dreijer (The Knife) på hennes soloprojekt ”Moonshine”. Cecilia Nordlund blev först känd som sångerska i rockbandet Souls sedan Monkeystrikes.
Nu spelar hon även i discobandet Sunshine Rabbits.

ERIKA ROSÉN

Erika lives on the countryside (of Skåne), in the south part of Sweden. Music is, has been and will always be a big part of my life and my way of living. I have recorded many songs through out the years, all through different bands, some bad songs, some short ones, some good songs, som odd ones and some with a bit of everything. I like to record new stuff as soon as the inspiration hits me. I have also toured and got the oppertunity to meet fantastic people.

Its somehow not easy to describe my own music, but I guess that some of my influences tells something - Sonic Youth, Lisa Germano, John Frusciante, Damien jurado, Mazzy star for example. Sometimes I make traditional indie/folk music and other days I make more dirty, guitarrbased songs combined with the drummachine. The alternative Indierock music from the 80-90ties is always present in my life. Simple recordings with a lot of love and emotions goes straight into me. My friends inspire me a lot, both to make, write my own music, perform it, to share it, to record it and live it. Thanks to all of you.
You are all my source of inspiration. .... ....The lovely bands I am in: .... Small flowers crack concrete, DunDun and Minus at the mill.

During 5 years the artists share moments of joy, grief, and some very private moments with the camera.

LOTTA WENGLÉN

Lotta was born in Malmoe in 1971 and started playing guitar and writing songs at an early age. She soon began making taperecordings with her older brother. When the two of them were introduced to a four channel portastudio it was pure heaven.

In her teens Lotta started her first band, but it wasn´t until the winter of 1995, when Lotta and two friends formed the band "ba-ba-loo", that things started to sound any good. They did
some local gigs in Malmoe and then got the danish recordcompany Mega Records to record
and release their album "Frosting- the american way" in 1998.

In 1999, Lotta and Uffe, the bassplayer from ba-ba-loo took in two new band members and changed their name to "bobby ray". The band did a demo and played at Popstad 2000 in Malmoe.

In the year 2000 Lotta went solo and recorded the album "Golden Green" (DUNDRET STUDIO). It was released through Adrian Recordings in 2001. American songwriter Chip Taylor joined her in a duett on the album, "The hard part´s to stay". The song was also released as a single two months before the album came out.

Lotta started her own label in 2001, Margit Music (after her grandmother) and released the ep "Scratch", the single "Ambassador of love" and the album "Paintbrush" that same year. All recorded at MIN STUDIO in Malmoe.

During the years 2003 and 2004 she wrote, produced and recorded her third album by the computer at her house in Hököpinge Kyrkby. She namned it "Ask Harry" and released it in Sweden through Margit Music in February 2005. Lotta moved into Malmoe in 2005 and wrote
new songs. She had no plan of making them into an album. Instead she recorded songs and released them the next day on myspace. It felt like a more pleasant way of working and much more efficiant way to release songs.

When she found out that she had been granted financial support from Statens Kulturråd to produce an album her plans changed drasticly. She already had songs to fill an album so the switch in her brain was easly turned. Her fourth album " In The Core" was released in September 2008.

Lotta started playing with Carolina Carlcom, Magnus Sveningsson and Måns Wieslander. They toured in Germany and new songs where written. The songs became Lottas fifth album "Thanks for your generous donations!"
Erika Rosén, Sofia Härdig and Katharina Nuttall joined her on the album alongside the band. The album was recorded during a short period of time and followed a crazy production plan that Lotta had come up with. Alot of the humour and fun recordings made it through the mix and hopefully this can be heard by the people who listen to the album. Album relase in May 2011.


The Bands
Lottas soloband contains great musicians such as Måns Wieslander on guitar, Magnus Sveningsson on bass and Carolina Carlbom on drums.

Outside her solo project Lotta also plays keyboard and sings in Sunshine Rabbits beside
Cecilia Nordlund, Petra Lilja and Carolina Carlbom. She also sings and plays the guitar in the coolest coverband ever, Up The Mountain, along with Lasse, Bengt and Magnus from The Cardigans and Johan Olsén, Maria Davidsson and Johan Melin.

She joined Cilihili (Cecilia Nordlund) on her album recordings in Aerosol Grey Machine Studio in Vallarum 2008 and played alot of different instrument on the album.

Lotta has a yet another project, a bit more low profile than the other ones though, with Erika Rosén called Minus At The Mill.

Sofia Härdig

Sofia Härdig has been called "the new electronica queen" , been dubbed by groove magazine to have taken over the driver seat for good in electronic dirty rock. Stated to have one of the best rockvoices around. And gotten rave reviews for her albums.
In soundscapes filled with broken glass, barbed wire and abandoned factory Sofias voice breaks through the noise to create desolate beauty. Names like Beth gibbons and Jarboe comes to mind but Sofia plays in a league of her own.
Her music has been described as "avantrockimpro" and "electrotwistpunk" Sofia herself describes her music as electronica with roots in rock and noise. Härdigs debut album came 2005 with "The storm In My Head". In the beginnig there where traces of broken blues and deformed rockmusic in her songs, with references to for example Pj Harvey and Nick Cave. Later she has developed more towards heavy dansbeats, grinding guitars and industrial noise. Extraordinary is also her voice that she often uses as an instrument. Sofia Härdig her self says about her music "I like what is not perfect. In the broken, decayed and in the mistakes I find beauty".
The dream was released 2008 and is Sofias forth Album. From time it time she has lived in Berlin and preformed at legendary places in New York as The Kitchen and CBGB:s.
She has played with members of major bands in Sweden, or how about The Hellacopters, Bob hund, Thåström, the Fleshquartet.
Live has she also worked with for instance members from Free Kitten and OooIooO. Even the great japanese noise master himself Merzbow visited one of her shows and approved of what he heard.
Kenny from the Hellacopters is a fan and have used her T-shirt with her
Alias "the Happiest girl In The World", for The helicopters live gigs videos and press
fotos.. and created a hype.
Writers have also stated her as "Swedens most well kept musical secret"
