They create their unique sound using vintage musical equipment such as vibraphone, organ, mellotron, tremolo guitar, and Moog. Their music pays homage to the sounds of 60s/70s soundtracks, library music, German Krautrock, French Ye-ye pop, and 60s psych.
Their use of these instruments allows them to capture the essence of a bygone era while adding their own modern twist. Death and Vanilla's music transports listeners back in time with its nostalgic vibes and dreamy melodies.
With influences ranging from classic film scores to experimental rock genres, Death and Vanilla have carved out a distinct niche for themselves in the music industry. Their captivating soundscapes are both hauntingly beautiful and irresistibly catchy.

Death and Vanilla return with Flicker, presenting their unique pop music that defies categorisation. Housed in a beautifully austere post-ironic de-constructed sleeve; Flicker is a modern reflection on these difficult times. World crises notwithstanding, they return reborn, re-arranged and revitalised after assimilating dub reggae, the motorik spirals of Can, the modal meander of Philip Glass and The Cure’s dreamier pop sounds; plus the twice removed symphonic ambience of Spiritualized and Talking Heads under heavy manners from Brian Eno. By osmosis their period of transition since 2019’s much darker Are You A Dreamer? has hatched new eclectic electronica anthems riddled with melody lines, and layered for lush love.Forming in Malmö, Sweden, Death And Vanilla gravitated towards vintage musical equipment; from vibraphone, organ and mellotron, to tremolo guitar and Moog synthesisers. Soaking up soundtracks from the 60s and 70s, listening to library music, kosmiche, French Ye-ye pop and 60s psych, Marleen Nilsson, Anders Hansson and Magnus Bodin were fashioned by the city’s austere industrial past and flat pack present, and all in the shadow of the Orsesund Bridge that links their dreamworld to mainland Europe and a darker reality.Death And Vanilla at once sound like everything is possible; but nothing else at all. There is a flicker of hope for everyone.
