Alongside this comes news that Lilla Vargen will be playing a headline show at Omeara on April 15th 2020. Tickets can be grabbed here on December 2nd.
The past few months have been a whirlwind for the artist whose name translates to Little Wolf in Swedish. Currently touring Europe in support of Dermot Kennedy, Lilla Vargen released EP tracks Why Wait & Solitary in the latter part of the year to widespread acclaim, cementing herself as an artist to watch heading into 2020. We Were Thunder is an astonishingly beautiful body of work. A selection of big room pop songs showcasing Vargen’s stand out vocals and deeply personal songwriting, Vargen at once manages to be both otherworldly and relatable. With press support from the likes of The Independent, Wonderland Magazine, The Telegraph, Notion, The Line Of Best Fit and more, Lilla Vargen has quickly made an impression, and there is plenty more on the way.
Speaking on We Were Thunder, Lilla Vargen states: “We Were Thunder is about the moments of magic that live within relationships. Whilst on the surface the songs seem full of sorrow and pain, there’s also a recognition of the love that allowed us to get to that point. Writing this EP has been an emotional release, translating the feelings into lyrics and sound that summarise a crucial period of my life. These songs are me accepting that the flashes of euphoric love will always have existed, even if they ultimately were followed by heartbreak.
‘Solitary’ is about learning to live with yourself, and deciding to not accept less than you deserve, even if that comes with the price of letting go. ‘On My Mind’ has been a joy to play live on this tour so far, and showcases a more upbeat, anthemic angle to the set; despite it originally being written as a piano demo, it’s taken on a life of its own.”
