Death and Vanilla

Death and Vanilla, the Swedish dream-pop duo from Malmö, crafts lush, retro-futuristic soundscapes that feel like stepping into a hazy, half-remembered film. Formed by Marleen Nilsson (vocals/keyboards) and Anders Hansson (bass/guitar) in the late 2000s, they blend vintage synths, Mellotron waves, and hypnotic rhythms to create music that’s equal parts eerie and comforting—like a ghost story told over afternoon tea. Their work often nods to library music, sci-fi soundtracks, and 60s psych-pop, earning them a cult following for albums like *Are You a Dreamer?* and their haunting score for the reissued 1976 film *The Tenant*. With releases like *Flicker* and *Find Another Illusion*, they’ve perfected their signature mix of analog warmth and surreal storytelling, making them a go-to for listeners craving music that’s both nostalgic and otherworldly.
