Indie Music Women’s Featured Artist of the Day is…
Camilla Nilsen of Temperature Falls (@temperaturefalls)
Temperature Falls is a trip-hop/alternative rock duo from Oslo, Norway that blends influences including Bjork, Portishead, and Pearl Jam into a brilliantly atmospheric and original new sound. Comprised of vocalist/lyricist Camilla and multi-instrumentalist Ian J. Ward, Temperature Falls released its debut album, Temperature Falls, in 2019 as well as a single, a cover of the Deftones’ “Knife Party.” Zuzu’s Petals will be the first single from the upcoming EP.
Temperature Falls uses music to create moods and tangible feelings that resonate deeply with its listeners. The songs are contemporary and classic at once and instantly pull you into their deliciously hypnotic worlds. The project began with a chance meeting between Camilla and Ward that led the pair into Ward’s studio, where they discovered their magic. Having no choice but to continue, the two spent every possible moment of 2018 creating Temperature Falls. The music mixes the glorious euphoria of trip-hop with the backbone of alternative rock in a way that compels you to keep listening.
Camilla and Ward make this music because it’s what they feel and love. Both are motivated artists with uncompromising creative visions. Together, they’re fire and ice at the same time and, as Temperatures Falls, they are releasing some of the most important and vital music of modern times. Anyone seeking new music with both headspace and energy needs to start listening.
Camilla shared with me what it means personally to her to be an indie music woman artist: “In its basic fashion me for me it just feels empowering – I can tap into my emotions and really show these freely in my music. As an independent artist, the freedom in the music and lyrics, in terms of style is so liberating to me. Hopefully, that comes across with the songs and people can feel this emotion through the music and lyrics.”
You can hear Temperature Falls single, “1-2-3” on the Indie Music Women’s Spotify Playlist.
