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.

Aldrig får höra min saga
Detta lilla hörn av soffan
Där jag sträcker mig ut
Så långt genom fönstret
Och dörren står öppen för det mesta
Men lite rädsla lever kvar i mig
Liksom de flesta
Inget finns egentligen
Utan mod
Vad vore verkligheten
Tänk om gatan som jag går på
Smulas sönder
Havet tar tillbaka
Det ska ge tills ingen mer det minns
Alla stenar ska då lyfta
Från mitt hjärta
Kanske minnas under sanden
Då ska jag våga segla långt
Ja ända ut till kanten
Samla ditt mod
Inget finns då äntligen
Utan mod
Vad vore verkligheten
In "Mod", Slowgold explores the notion of fear and the importance of courage. She starts off by contemplating what would have happened if the world never got to hear her story. She then continues to describe the comfort she feels whenever she is stretched out on the corner sofa, looking out of the window. Though the door is frequently open, she admits to carrying some fear within herself, just like many others.
Slowgold then highlights the significance of courage, as she suggests that nothing actually exists without it. She stresses that reality itself would not exist without courage. She symbolizes this fearlessness by imagining her street crumbling apart and the sea taking back what it gave, leaving no memory of the world. This moment, Slowgold suggests, would be the moment for everyone to collect their courage and bravery in order to go on living. She then acknowledges that if this moment were to happen, she would dare to sail out to the far edge, collecting her courage as she goes, ready for whatever may come.
Overall, "Mod" by Slowgold is a song about facing fears and having the courage to keep going, even when everything else is crumbling around you. It is an uplifting and empowering message that encourages listeners to take control of their own fears and live their lives to the fullest.

Tänk om världen
Imagine if the world
Aldrig får höra min saga
Never gets to hear my story
Detta lilla hörn av soffan
This small corner of the couch
Där jag sträcker mig ut
Where I stretch out
Så långt genom fönstret
So far out the window
Och dörren står öppen för det mesta
And the door is open most of the time
Men lite rädsla lever kvar i mig
But a little fear still lives in me
Liksom de flesta
Like most people
Samlar mitt mod
Gathering my courage
Inget finns egentligen
Nothing really exists
Utan mod
Without courage
Vad vore verkligheten
What would reality be
Tänk om gatan som jag går på
Imagine if the street I walk on
Smulas sönder
Crumbles apart
Havet tar tillbaka
The sea takes it back
Det ska ge tills ingen mer det minns
It will give until no one remembers it
Alla stenar ska då lyfta
All the stones will then lift
Från mitt hjärta
From my heart
Kanske minnas under sanden
Maybe remembered under the sand
Då ska jag våga segla långt
Then I will dare to sail far
Ja ända ut till kanten
Yes, all the way to the edge
Samla ditt mod
Gather your courage
Inget finns då äntligen
Nothing exists then, finally
Utan mod
Without courage
Vad vore verkligheten
What would reality be
