‘This War Belongs To You’ 

Majken was born in the southern Swedish coastal town of Karlskrona and has been writing songs since the age of 14. Scheduled for release this Autumn via Kollektivet Records, her debut album explores themes of teenage desire, uncertainly of the heart and mental health, experienced from both sides. The record was recorded at her home in Malmo with Damon Tutunjian (Mew, Swirlies), a kindred spirit who appreciates the strange magic of lo-fi recordings almost as much as she does. Tutunjian allowed her to raid his collection of 70’s synthesisers and effects, which helped to shape the sound of the record.

Debut single ‘Lovely Daughter’ was out last month and new single ’This War Belongs To You’ is equally as impressive and beautiful. Majken had this to say on it:

“The song is about self-preservation. The tension that is built up over the first two minutes bursts as the synths come in like a wall of tears. I was very young when I wrote this song, but my chest still gets heavy whenever I perform it.”
