Anna von Hausswolff

“Evocation”

The Miraculous

Anna von Hausswolff is a singer/songwriter, pianist, and organist who, along with the rest of her band (Filip Leyman-synths, Karl Vento-guitar,  Joel Fabiansson-guitar, Ulrik Ording-drums, and Maria von Hausswolff-vocals), perform Baroque style music that is so heavy and light at the same time, like listening to a great organist play Bach in a large church or Rick Wakeman’s organ parts from “Close To The Edge”.  I love her so much.  Imagine Lykke Li or Frida Hyvonen with a strong organ backing and you get von Hausswolff.  The Bach/Handel of our time.  And her voice!!!! Combined with her sister, the two of them are so ethereal.  Her is the track listing for the new CD.  Listen and enjoy.
