Theresa Andersson

folk // singer-songwriter

Recorded in New Orleans with fellow Swede, producer Tobias Fröberg, Theresa Andersson’s album Hummingbird, Go! (2008) delivers a distinctive Swedish pop sound alongside a soulful southern vibe. Well-crafted retro-pop number “Birds Fly Away” showcases Theresa’s multi-instrumental skills as she uses everything from the looping vocals, violin, catchy hand claps to the funky drum sample of Smokey Johnson. DIY to the extreme, in her song “The Waltz” Theresa actually plays water-filled soda pop bottles in her kitchen.

Incredibly fresh, quirky folk melodies.

    This is one of my favorite albums of the year! Really unique, but you have to see Theresa play live. I her play recently in NYC in October and she completely blow my mind with her looping. It’s incredible!!! Check out this video of Birds Fly Away: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMXqn42AykM

    she’s really good! thanks for introducing me to yet another great musician. i love this site :)

    two of my favourite musicians that utilize looping very well are Camille, who is featured on aurgasm.us; just search the archives, and Ed-Alleyne Johnson > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUO6kYLb6As

    This is fantastic! I’m pretty sure this is who my friend saw at cmj. She said she was incredible live (if this is the same girl) but judging from the video posted it must be her. Thanks for posting about her!

    I just saw her live in Tucson. Incredible gifted with ethereal vocals. The record is amazing but to see her live is another universe completely. Buy her cd and GO SEE HER….

    Holy Cow, I just went to a taping of the Conan O’Brien show yesterday, I had no idea she would be the musical guest until I got there, and in person, live, she is an amazing force of nature! I’m totally in love!
