BLIND LAKE, a Böste (Sweden) based New wave Pop/Sci-fi Folk duo comprising Lotta Wenglén
(guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, vocals, etc) and Måns Wieslander (guitar, drums, bass, vocals etc) took their name from the 2003 sci-fi novel by Robert Charles Wilson.
“When we meet up in the studio to record a new song, we always try to find the cheesy part of it and emphasize that in the production.”
Formed in 2012 (but performing together in various projects since 2004), their first collaboration as Blind Lake was the “Stooges with a disco-beat” song Bachelor/Exorcist. Their sound soon evolved into something entirely different, an equally upclose/spacious array of instruments circling the core of Lotta and Måns intimately intertwined voices.
Their debut album, On earth, produced by Lotta and mixed by Christoffer Lundqvist in Aerosol Grey Machine, was released on CD by Margit Music in June, 2015. In 2020 came the vinyl Streetlife (mixed by Christoffer and Lotta) and in 2023 their E.P./CD Wellness (mixed by Andreas Ejnarsson) and mastered by Hans Olsson at Svenska Grammofonstudion in Gothenburg. On the E.P. they invited drummer and friend Conny Städe to add some drum tracks from his home in Malmoe as well as Nadden Hamouchi on trumpet.
