about

Wy are a band strongest at their most vulnerable. The Malmö indie duo, Ebba and Michel Gustafsson Ågren, have showcased their musical skills across three albums, 2017’s Okay, 2019’s Softie and 2021’s Marriage which gained them recognition from KEXP, Line of Best Fit, NBHAP, Tonspion, CLASH and more as well as tours in Germany, Scandinavia and the UK. But what makes them 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. Those emotions are spun into the band’s skyscaping, cinematic sound, and turned into music that has a force behind it, a power that hits you, even when it's at its softest.

On June 17th 2022, a deluxe CD verison including a six page booklet and three new tracks from their new ‘Something Amazing’ EP is released.

Something Amazing picks up where Marriage left off, exploring dramatic life changes, including the experience of knowing that there soon will be a third person in the family. It is the second record since signing to Rama Lama Records (Melby, Steve Buscemi's Dreamy Eyes, Chez Ali etc.) and continues the path from last years Marriage, leaving the more produced style of second album Softie behind, it turns to the simpler sound of their earlier work for music that’s rawer and sharper.

The duo describes it as being about “the light at the end of the tunnel. About narrowing your circle and focusing your gaze on what is important - the people close to you. About a door, opening wide into a completely new life, with entirely new challenges and overwhelming beauty. ”

You could say that the work on Marriage started with a wedding and the work on Something Amazing started with a pregnancy. Ebba and Michel have been together since their schooldays, but a couple of years ago they tied the knot. The songs on Marriage have all been made since their wedding, and so in that sense the timing made it a natural title for a record that’s something of a scrapbook from the first two years of that marriage. But there’s also a deeper sense to it. Both in sound and theme, Marriage is more of a conceptual record than their earlier work. Ebba writes the band’s lyrics, and on the previous albums her themes were specific to her. But on this album, their relationship is at the heart of the songs. The lyrics have come from the experiences they’ve shared together, which they’ve then worked together into what they want to say, to each other and to everyone else. “I have always written the lyrics”, says Ebba. “But this time they feel like our lyrics, and not just my diary set to our music. We've talked a lot with each other about what we want to say. About who we are and where we can find our place in the world. The title has been in place since we started, and that was because 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”.

In many ways, Something Amazing and Marriage is Wy at their purest. These songs, kept between Michel and Ebba as they made them, and with Michel and Ebba at the centre, sound like the band at home in themselves, more sure of who they are and getting closer than ever to what they're reaching for. For the band, it’s their fans that have helped them along the way. “We’ve kind of never realised that we actually have ‘real’ fans. So when we played live the last couple of years, and saw people singing along to the lyrics” says Michel, “it made us realise we shouldn’t be ashamed of where we were taking things”. “You can’t make everyone understand you, you just have to do what you think is true” says Ebba. “To appreciate the people that understand it. And not give a shit about the rest”.

The Marriage deluxe CD is released June 17th via Rama Lama Records (Melby, Steve Buscemi's Dreamy Eyes, Chez Ali etc.) and is limited to 200 units.
