LINA TULLGREN “OLDER”
Lina Tullgren, the latest Captured Tracks’ signee, is a Maine born songwriter with an eye and an ear for darkness. And the light. Sometimes it’s quiet, but sometimes it’s loud. When you grow up in the trenches of classical music and then, down the line, you learn about traditional fiddle music and old work songs, you can get burnt out on everything after a while. So, then you buy an electric guitar and start to write songs. If you aren’t trying to be anything or anyone in particular; the songs that result are in their own way, raw, sincere and unique.

The band has returned this month with two new singles, “Roses” and “Summer In The City (Living Is For Somebody Else).” Brooklyn Vegan has premiered “Roses,” which is a cover of The Chainsmokers’ Top 10 hit. The Legends, Johan Angergård told Brooklyn Vegan, “This is the first cover I’ve ever recorded. I really like the track, but I wanted to hear what would come out of it if it was presented in a completely different setting. I read in an interview with Chainsmokers that they wanted to make it super authentic. My take is the complete opposite. I love the combination of something that sounds fragile and naked and artificial at the same time. That’s where I took ‘Roses.’”

From me to you on Father’s Day, I give you…’My Father.’ And to my actual father….Dad, I am grateful for all the time you spent with me when I was growing up. You could have easily spent more time doing other things you wanted to do, but you were there for me. Thank you. PY”
