Sea Lion AKA Gothenburg, Sweden-native Linn Osterberg – has today shared a brand new song in the shape of “Room.” A sparse, piano ballad in the vein of Cat Power or early Kate Bush, the song explores “the art of needing somebody versus not needing anybody at all, and what is best and how to balance it,” explains Osterberg.
“I recorded ‘Room’ after a week of frustration where I couldn’t record anything that didn’t feel like crap and I was unsure whether to push it any further or to just give up. I always struggle with knowing when to rest or when to keep going. It was around midnight and I just felt really frustrated with myself, so I made some coffee and then I went out for a long walk, and when I got back I decided to try one more time and I wrote and recorded it within an hour or so.”
