Open your eyes to Dina Ögon in Store VEGA
On 21 March, you can soften your frozen winter heart when Dina Ögon play their warm, soulful compositions at Store VEGA.
When the band unleashed their nostalgic tones in a completely sold-out Store VEGA back in October last year, time stood still as they belted out one beautiful melancholic note after another.
Now they're back with their third studio album Orion, which has emphasised their distinctive ear for good melodies. Politiken gave the album a full six stars and wrote in their enthusiastic review:
"You can walk around with a void without realising it. Swedish Dina Ögon's music makes me happy in a way I didn't realise I had missed. A quiet delight of something gentle and mildly swinging. Absolutely original, but also with a flavour of something familiar."
The listener is greeted by a strong nostalgic vibe through Dina Ögon's experimental sound universe. The band draws inspiration from genres such as bossa nova, jazz, afrobeat and soul and condenses it into a Swedish maggi-cube of beautiful melancholy and subtlety.
The band is a love child between a team of extremely competent and experienced musicians with roots in jazz, improvisation and alternative pop.
Daniel Ögren (guitar) was the guitarist in Anna Von Hausswolff's band and has released several instrumental solo albums under his own name, which have been praised by critics for their playful and heartfelt DIY productions.
Anna Ahnlund (vocals) has also released several solo albums with her own quirky and beautiful blend of Swedish prog music and folk ballads. She sang on the hit single "idag" on Daniel Ögren's latest album Fastingen-92, and it was the start of Dina Ögon's musical journey.
