 “…multi-faceted songs that have one foot in retro soul and one in Scandinavian pop.” Theresa Andersson Returns to the West Coast in May, Including KCRW Appearance May 11 If you missed Theresa Andersson’s residency in L.A. last January, here’s another chance to find out why the Los Angeles Times heralded her as an "Artist to Watch in 2009", and why Ann Powers wrote this stunning feature comparing her to Feist and Lykke Li.

That she created the album entirely in her own kitchen and played 99% of the instruments is all the more impressive. From the very start, you sense you’re in the presence of something special…”
