Think about early fog, misty lakes, dramatic mountains, underground clubs, crowded subways, empty streets or your latest sexual experience, and you will find the echo of it in her music. You will find sorrow, grief and darkness in her Garden, but also light, strength and oceans of love.
The music oscillates between brittle and dramatic and is stained by a soft melancholy, and exposing, poetic lyrics.
Press clippings:
"Skugga's songwriting achieves a lyrical balance that comes across as Euro-pragmatism—a blend of youthful naiveté and cutting brutality"
"She has an impressive vocal range..."- Caughtinthecarousel
"Overall it feels beautifully dark with Sol’s classical voice pouring like a clear trickle through the mellow ambience, whether it’s a folk-inspired piece or a more dense goth-inspired music. The electronica forms the base of the music, but a great interplay with foremost brilliant guitars and violins creates nice contrasts." - Meadow music
"This girl has what it takes." - Ravenheart music

A cool release!

"Enter my garden, where you will find only the truth". Solskugga is a very lovely lass and she hails from Sweden. 'Gardenia' can best be described as ambient electronic rock. And it is pretty cool to my ears. Not the sort of music you head bang too, but certainly the type of music to sit down and have a good chill out. The record kicks off with the cool 'Intuition', while third track in 'Love and Affection' picks up the pace a bit. 'Empty Street' and 'Blind' proves what an awesome voice Sol has. The voice of an angel! I have 145 tracks by Evanesence on my iPod at home, lots of demo stuff etc, and Sol kinda reminds me of very early Amy Lee/Evanescence. There are further tracks that show that this girl has what it takes, including the title track. I understand that Sol has signed a deal with the new US based label Cauldron Soundwerx. With the right promotion, she could do well.
