about

The artist behind Lilyer is Marte Solbakken, a Norwegian musician living in LA. She’s been a member and songwriter for American indie heroes WATERS, and for a while she fronted the San Francisco band Elskling. All this time she was working with what would become Lilyer.

In a minibus on tour in the US, at home in a communal holiday site in Oslo, in an attic in Kragerø, and on a hilltop high above San Francisco – that’s where the first Lilyer songs were written. A musical quest for at foothold in a rootless existence. 

– I played music during my whole childhood, but quit as a teenager after some big upheavals, says Solbakken. 

– When I started to write songs, it was as if I rediscovered a part of myself. It still feels like that. 

Lilyer is huge and dreamy pop music for the downcast. Lilyer is songs about being stuck and looking for your own voice. Your own truth. Lilyer is the sound of someone who’s on the verge of breaking free.
