Limandi – Family

Hovering in the otherworldly acoustic nebula of Sanne Limandi’s creative spirit, her initial musical offering, “FUCK. IT.”, materializes as a mosaic fusion of heartfelt resilience and inventive brilliance. Unveiled under her artistic alias, Limandi, this ensemble of seven auditory gems navigates the eclectic territories of indie-pop, pop, electronic, and folk, all intertwined with a contemporary R’n’B undertow. Conceived amidst the serene seclusion of Sweden’s pastoral landscapes, Limandi’s EP transcends the bounds of mere melody, evolving into an audial pilgrimage to her origins, an acoustic epic chronicling the quintessence of a metaphorical homecoming.
