Anna Michaela Ebba Electra von Hausswolff (born 6 September 1986 in Gothenburg) is a Swedish singer, pianist, organist and songwriter.
Though she now lives in Copenhagen, Anna von Hausswolff grew up in the once vibrant, bohemian neighbourhood of Haga in Gothenburg, Sweden, in a family who counted amongst their ancestors Bernhard Reynold von Hausswolff, an 18th Century governor of Falun, Sweden, who helped bring an end to the burning of witches. Although Anna has achieved acclaim with her song-based albums ‘Ceremony', 'Singing from the Grave' (both first released on Kning Disk in Sweden) and the latest 'The Miraculous' (released on her own label, Pomperipossa Records), she has always had an ear for the radical approach, and this is the first step in a long-term collaboration with Touch.
When von Hausswolff’s albums are looked at, the progression towards where she is now becomes clear. Her debut Singing from the Grave (2010) included nine linear compositions with piano as her main instrument. Musically, it suggested a goth take on Goodbye and Hello Tim Buckley. Next, the 13-track Ceremony (2012) marked her apart as it encompassed a unique musical worldview where the dominant features were pipe organ, a full-bore, malleable and mostly upper register but multi-octave voice, and surging songs with the rhythmic dynamics of sludge metal. She had begun convincingly evoking the spirits seemingly inhabiting her music.
The limited-edition 2014 live album Källan (Prototype) came next and featured a 40-minute organ piece. The Miraculous (2015), Dead Magic’s predecessor album, distilled the essence of the “Källan” recording and placed it in a band setting over ten songs (including a cover of “Come Wander with Me”, originally heard in an episode of The Twilight Zone). It was even spookier than what had come before and appeared to be a song cycle tracking discovery, deliverance, evocation and abdication. “Källan” was then returned to with “Källan (Betatype)”, a 21-minute reduction of the composition issued on 12'' in 2016.
