Death and Vanilla is a Swedish musical duo formed in Malmö by Marleen Nilsson and Anders Hansson. 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.

Magenta Coloured Vinyl with Download. Following on from the deluxe reissue Vampyr last year, comes Death And Vanilla’s unreleased live score of The Tenant. Originally scored by Philippe Sarde, this release sees Death And Vanilla re-imagine the film’s soundtrack four decades on for a new audience. The haunting instrumental is a foreboding piece of dark and cinematic avant-garde music that’s alienated, lonely and melancholic. Moments of hallucination and delusion mirror the lead character Trelovsky. Recorded in 2015 at Cinema score festival in Spain alongside a two-hour performance and screening of psychological thriller The Tenant (1976). With the band at their most minimal, the accomplished musicians once again bring the dark narrative to life with their expansive and ethereal noir sound. The recording features them as a trio – Marleen Nilsson (Farfisa Compact), Anders Hansson (Hagstrom Kent, Roland SP-404 and Technics SL-1200) and Magnus Bodin (Moog Prodigyand Musser M55). Directed by Polish filmmaker Roman Polanski and based on the novel Le Locataire by Roland Topor, The Tenant is the finale in his acclaimed apartment triology which included Repulsion (1965) and Rosemary’s Baby (1968).
