Postcards

'Postcards' takes a different approach from previous work, embracing solitude rather than seeking direct connectivity. While the 2022 album 'Brave' was inspired by human interaction, 'Postcards' draws from independent travel experiences across Europe in Autumn 2021.

​

Each song on the album serves as a musical postcard from different cities, capturing moments of spontaneous connection that arise precisely because of traveling alone. As Su explains, "It's fair to say that there is something about the combination of being alone and therefore independent, and in a place that I don't know, that creates room to inspire me when I get there."

 

This independence allowed for unexpected encounters and observations that might not have occurred otherwise. "When I travel on my own," she notes, "my eyes, ears and mind are free to take in whatever it may be." The album celebrates the return of hope during in a later part of the pandemic, when people could once again communicate, share, and connect.

 

Musically, the album moves from the excitement of 'Voices from the future' through the intimate 'Reunion' to the folk-inspired 'Sunset unlimited'. Created in collaboration with Henning Sernhede and new collaborator Axel Olsson, 'Postcards' serves as both travelog and human observation, celebrating freedom of movement and our capacity for connection.
