ABOUT THIS BAND

Wy are a band strongest at their most vulnerable. What makes the Malmö indie duo, Ebba and Michel Gustafsson Ågren, stand out as a band is the raw, brutal emotion they capture in their music. A Wy song at their best sounds like opening it all up, and letting the feelings flow where they will, letting the pain, anger, fear, hope and love steer the song. That, combined with the band’s skyscaping, cinematic sound, creates music that has a force behind it, a power that hits you, even when it's at its softest.

Their new album, Marriage, is the sound of Wy moving forward and backwards at once. It turns to the simpler sound of their earlier work for music that’s rawer and sharper. There’s less between the listener and the heart of the song - this is music that’s very direct, both in theme and sound, with melodies that hit cleanly and leave nothing even trying to hide. It’s the work of a band that have grown into themselves and what they do, making the strongest songs of their career. "We've talked a lot with each other about what we want to say”, says Ebba.”About who we are and where we can find our place in the world. A lot of the songs revolved around our relationship since we got married. Not so much the relationship between us, but more about the internal conflicts that appear when you’re in a long-term, safe relationship, where you’re really sure about each other, but you’re not sure about yourself”.
