Armed with a microphone and CD player, dressed all in black and sporting silvery-blonde hair – that’s how Molly Nilsson appears on stage, be it in Istanbul, New York, Athens or Moscow. Molly Nilsson is regarded by her fans as a diva and is a global phenomenon as an internet Goth. Every one of her songs is a hit, her solemn voice is accompanied by cheap keyboards and inaccurate rhythm machines, modest and yet poignant. Nilsson is a master in the game of authenticity and enactment, visualising her hyperromantic DIY pop with nostalgic video clips and pulling the strings behind the scenes too with her own label, Dark Skies Association.
