about

They are mixing folk and western elements. Epic indie textures and dreamy vocals. They are a Swedish indie act Stranded Mermaid that has brilliantly created a unique soundscape related to such artists as Lana del Rey, Lykke Li and Highasakite. Coming from the music bands ”I don’t speak french” and ”Swedish Red Elephant”, the front singer Louise Lindenger brings Stranded Mermaid into a darker pop milieu.

Their newest single ”Dust in The Badlands” is about mentorship, finding that magic creativity together with someone else, who also is struggling, and building something amazing out of nothing. The music starts with a lonesome banjo, lush vocals and is getting accompanied with western guitars and whistles to create that cinematic Ennio Morricone vibe.

LYRICS:

Come into my zone
I will make you bloom and grow
Like a palm in the desert snow

As a trade
You will light a fire
In my indigo eyes
and make me come alive


We glow like dust in the badlands
You shimmer in my hands
I’m a diamond in your night sky
It gets so right when we collide

We glow like dust in the badlands
You shimmer in my hands
I’m a diamond in your night sky
It gets right when we collide


You will be my jewel
Stronger than a fossil fuel
I will put your dreams in use

In return you will keep my mind
Open as the luminous sky
Colouring my darkest times


We glow like dust in the badlands
You shimmer in my hands
I’m a diamond in your night sky
It gets so right when we collide

We glow like dust in the badlands
You shimmer in my hands
I’m a diamond in a your night sky
It gets right when we collide


The canyon is a bad terrain
We’re trapped inside the glitter rain
This storm is such a dark parade
Don’t know what will remain

We look into our wishful eyes
And let them say the words we fight
The things we cannot say out loud
The feelings that must die


We glow like dust in the badlands
You shimmer in my hands
I’m a diamond in your night sky
It gets so right when we collide

We glow like dust in the badlands

about

Stranded Mermaid Växjö, Sweden

With a great deal of inspiration from old spaghetti western and 60's California surf music, the dark, wet, smoky sound of Stranded mermaid was born. What started out as an escape from everyday boredom in a small town in Sweden, rapidly grew into something bigger.

In summary, Stranded mermaid is the mystifying brainchild of a girl with an unhealthy obsession for composer Ennio Morricone.
