Filippa Nässil releases debut solo album via Despotz Records. Filippa Nässil (founder, songwriter and guitar player in Thundermother) spent two months and three weeks in the USA touring with Thundermother in the fall of 2022 supporting the band Scorpions. On off days from playing she wrote lyrics for what came to be her upcoming debut solo album “American Diaries”, that is set for release autumn 2024. The album will contain both English and Swedish versions of all the tracks on the album.
She booked the studio in Skåne, Klippan, Sweden (Lemon Recording Studio) whilst still in the States and wrote the music for the album in one month after coming home and recorded it in December 2022 and mixed it in Medley Studios march 2023 in Copenhagen.
Filippa started Thundermother 2009, she studied music production and guitar before that. In 2022 she studied in distance at London Songwriting Academy and she thanks one of her teachers Shelly Poole for pushing her to do a solo album.
About her second single "Mount Shasta", and how it came to be, she had this to say:
"Mount Shasta is my most emotional song that I wrote at a café near one of the USA's largest volcanoes. I have been longing to release it, as I recorded it live just two weeks after my return from the USA with Thundermother. It is one of my favorites from my upcoming album American Diaries; a song from which one can draw strength in difficult times."
“American Diaries” is what it sounds like, her time in Chicago meeting her blues idol “Buddy Guy” and his family, she even got invited to his birthday party turning 86 years old. On “Buddy Guy’s Blues” she plays with his son “Greg Guy”. On “Green Fields Of Napa” she tells the story of getting accidentally high, eating food on a winery, on “Richmond, Virginia” about her favorite food mexican tacos called ‘pastor’, on “San Fransisco” when her boyfriend came to visit and the joy that brought, on “For Rudy”, she sings about her time in Texas, ending up on a night club and the new friends she made there. “Mount Shasta” is her personal favorite, high up in the mountains of north California, missing her love wishing she could share that beauty with him.
“American Diaries” is a map over the USA, but in songs written, played and sung both in Swedish and English versions, by Filippa Nässil.
Her debut solo album "American Diaries" is set for release in October 4th 2024. The album will contain both Swedish and English versions of all the tracks on the album.
Lyrics:
I wish you were here
To share this beauty with me
Sitting alone looking out
Missing your company
It gets a little hard to breathe
When it’s just the mountain and me
Mount Shasta, reaching the sky
Reminding me why I’m aiming high
I'm on my own, so the price is real
But hey
I knew the deal
Mount shasta, giving me faith
High as the world, so sure in her place
I'm all alone, the price is real
But hey
I took the deal
Yeah, I took the deal..
My heart is missing home
But this is something I gotta do
Days off, feels like a lifetime
But I want to follow this through
It gets a little hard to breathe
When it’s just the mountain and me
Mount shasta, reaching the sky
Reminding me why I’m aiming high
I'm on my own, so the price is real
But hey
I knew the deal
Mount shasta, giving me faith
High as the world, so sure in her place
I'm all alone, the price is real
But hey
I took the deal
I took the deal
I took the deal
Yeah, I took the deal..
Mount Shasta, reaching the sky
Reminding me why I’m aiming high
I'm on my own, so the price is real
But hey
I knew the deal
Mount shasta, giving me faith
High as the world, so sure in her place
I'm all alone, the price is real
But hey
I took the deal
Yeah, I took the deal..
