Swedish trio Slowgold offer dreamy folk pop for weary souls, with a hint of psychedelic rock added for good measure. Frontwoman Amanda Werne has an unforgettable voice and a charismatic stage presence: calm and quiet, yet strong and very much to the fore. True to their name, Slowgold offer moments of slow living in the middle of the hectic modern world. It’s music for people who dream of getting lost in something calming for a while
At age 16, Amanda began songwriting, since then the music career just rolled on. Amanda Werne was born and raised in Gothenburg.
Amanda started playing the violin when she was seven. In addition, she mastered the piano, guitar and harmonica. In high school, she formed her first band 'The Rocket Machine' named after a Bob Hund song of the same name. Then it became rather calm around her, but she pulled herself together and asked some friendly band members for help with performing of own songs.
Slowgold - with Amanda as the sole permanent member - have risen above the crowd. Earlier in the year released acclaimed full-length album 'Stjärnfall' (Falling Stars) and this summer was rounded 'Way Out West' in a grand manner. Confetti rain in gold could not symbolize this better. Sequel album 'Glömska' issued at the end of November and the Sonics PM Jönsson reviewing the disc by noting that Slowgold going from strength to strength. It is just to agree.

Plötsligt var du där
En vacker dag
Livet fungerade där
Ångestfri ett slag
Och jag är faktiskt inte arg
Men klarar du dig själv
Och varför spara
Jag faller hellre
Utan skyddsnät
Du ska gå till din psykolog
Du är som folk är mest
Men tur att just du har råd
Att bli halvt lycklig som bäst
Jag faller hellre
Inga skyddsnät
I samhället
För din typ av kärlek

En morgon
One morning, just like any other
Plötsligt var du där
Suddenly, you appeared
En vacker dag
One beautiful day
Livet fungerade där
Life was working out there
Ångestfri ett slag
Anxiety-free for a moment
Och jag är faktiskt inte arg
And I'm actually not angry
Men klarar du dig själv
But can you take care of yourself?
Och varför spara
And why save
På det som kunnat vara
On what could have been
Jag faller hellre
I'd rather fall
Utan skyddsnät
Without a safety net
Du ska gå till din psykolog
You should go to your therapist
Du är som folk är mest
You're like most people
Men tur att just du har råd
But lucky for you, you can afford
Att bli halvt lycklig som bäst
To be half-happy at best
Inga skyddsnät
No safety nets
I samhället
In society
För din typ av kärlek
For your type of love
