DARK SKIES ASSOCIATION are busy planning the shows in and around Europe for the next few months to which Molly Nilsson will bring and present her latest opus, HISTORY. This is Nilsson’s (so far) most extensive tour in Europe and brings her to many new and exciting places, as well as returning to old friends in familiar corners of the continent.

Among the countries confirmed and booked are U.K.(it will be good!), Spain (why haven’t we been there before?), Poland (always a pleasure!), Czech Republic (finally!) and more.

Visit our Events & Shows page or have a look at the facebook event for dates, venues and links.

For all of the autumn of 2011, the planet Jupiter has been in backwards motion in Taurus causing all kinds of bankruptcies and personal hardships. By the first day of 2012, the planet Jupiter will have been in forward motion a week, allowing most people to become more grounded financially.
For small independent record labels this could mean more shows for the signed artists (for example Molly Nilsson), which may even result in a European tour and later on in the year a US-tour. A wonderful time for all of humanity will be when Jupiter enters the sign of Gemini on June 6th and brings fantastic financial news for everybody but especially for communications, media and independent record labels. This will be a good time to release a new album.

Horoscope in 2012 has the DARK SKIES ASSOCIATION filled with activity on the home and the work front. Changes that began to occur in 2011 now require planned actions. Continue with important assignments, and conduct in a manner of caution and precision.
Focus on your close bonds and cherish them, as this is the best way to enhance the year.

DARK SKIES ASSOCIATION have finally gotten around to upgrade the homepage, thanks to KMVdesign. Among the new features, you’ll find this blog page where one can read the latest news and leave comments. Another new feature is the improved Online Shop, now with a shopping cart which enables one to buy more than one item at a time. Our Contact & Links page now also let’s visitors sign up for our SKY NEWS more easily than before. It’s still in development so don’t be shy to tell us if you run into problems or discover a bug.
Yours truly,
DARK SKIES ASSOCIATION

olly Nilsson HISTORY is Album of the Week on Rough Trade.

Completely diy and self-produced, Molly adorns her songs of longing and emotional alienation with a powerful, resonant voice that is able to strike out across the voids of distance and space to touch the listener directly. ‘History’ is Nilsson’s fourth album proper and is a lush portrayal of a lone figure finding her way in the world.

Molly Nilsson HISTORY out now on CD and digital download.
