We had a little chat with Swedish singer-songwriter, Billie Lindahl, soul of the project 'Promise and the Monster', after her show at Kägelbanan in Stockholm on October 30th. In this 4-minute audio podcast she unveils some of the secrets behind her newly released second album "Red Tide".

Interview and editing by Benoît Derrier for Gimme Indie.

Billie Lindahl started out as Promise And The Monster in 2007 when she released her debut album "Transparent Knives" on Imperial Recordings (José González, Melpo Mene). On stage at Kägelbanan this evening is also Lisa Isaksson from Lisa o Piu, performing on flute, glasses and backing vocals. The new album "Red Tide" is out now!

"Night Out's chorus explodes like a thicket of fireflies against the midnight sky, its double-tracked vocals and string section marking the album's warmest, and Euro-poppiest, moment. While "Sheets'" organ vamps aren't exactly electrifying, they shade the track with spooky gothic menace. And her version of Carter Family staple "Single Girl, Married Girl", trades mountain-folk fatalism for percolating plucked strings and a sprightly singsong." Pitchfork
