Thea Gustafsson is a jack of all trades. Writing, recording, and self-producing under the moniker Becky and the Birds, she has recently turned a new leaf, entering an era of creative freedom and emotional release with her debut album ‘Only Music Makes Me Cry Now’ released through 4AD last autumn. With this album, Gustafsson has returned to her roots, recalling the carefree, experimental mindset she inhabited when she first picked up producing. This collection of ethereal, erratic, heavy-hitting, and hypnotic tracks, encapsulates her sonic worlds and the intention of staying curious, eager, and above all, brave. This spring, she won a well-deserved Swedish Grammy for Producer of the year, and come august, she’ll take the stage in Slottsskogen during Way Out West.
