Life lived from Bangatan, Majorna, Gothenborg, Sweden, is the inspiration for singer songwriter Fia Ekberg’s 1st full length album. This album is filled with personal tales about loving, growing older and existing, about having the courage to search for love again, the urge to live at a painfully full extent. About being a parent, feeling small and powerless. Being so angry that you want to fight, and still long for reconciliation and belonging. "Bangatan" is deliciuos pop and heartbreaking folky songs, with a touch of blues, spoken word and cabaret, all dressed in crispy guitars and delicate synth sounds. With poignant presence and naked lyrics Fia Ekberg tells her story. This is everyday realism and magnificent longing that falls together, freely, without safety nets.
