Winhill/Losehill

Swedish pop-band Winhill/Losehill debuted in 2012 with the critically acclaimed 19-track double album Swing of Sorrow. Composer and singer Jonas Svennem had lost his mother to cancer a few years earlier, and writing songs became a way of channeling the grief and expressing the full range of conflicting emotions. Over a three-year period the sextet set out for an ambitious and thorough work that shaped the band's timeless and unique sound, with black-edged, inspirited and personal lyrics, richly layered organic arrangements and a spacious lustre of sounds and soulful melodies.
The band toured the album extensively, playing club settings as well as some of Sweden’s finest venues, including a collaboration with the acclaimed Hans Ek and Norrlands Operan Symphony Orchestra.
These orchestral collaborations had great impact on the sounds and arrangements on the 2015 follow-up album Trouble Will Snowball. “There’s no doubt this is one of the best bands in Sweden” wrote Po Tidholm in DN.
The Grief is the band’s third album: 12 songs sure of their aim, dealing with dreams, regrets and getting through life and its setbacks without wanting to give up. The Grief has a sound that brings to mind Bon Iver, Arcade Fire, Rufus Wainwright or The Band. Mixed by Måns Lundberg (Ariel Pink, Shout Out Louds) and featuring Ji Nilsson (Pure Shores) and Lars Skoglund (La La Lars).

The Grief is released worldwide on June 17th, 2022.
