BIOGRAPHY
Identical twin sisters Madelon and Danielle Bruinhof went on a trip to Iceland at the end of 2018. They fell right in place with the cold and dark Scandinavian landscapes, hence the northern-sounding band name which means "valuable" in Swedish. The twins are inspired by northern acts such as Björk, AURORA and Tove Lo. The dark synthpop of LÖNA is uniquely defined by icy synth sounds and wide reverbing guitars. Together with heart felt lyrics about, for example, the passing of their dad, slut-shaming, LGBTQ+ representation and personal experiences. LÖNA is here to give you a nice cold bath to lose your anger and everything that feels wrong in this world.
