News & Updates

DARK SKIES ASSOCIATION are now ready to announce that Molly Nilsson’s next album is to be released on June 21st 2013 on digital, CD, MC and LP. We are also working on getting These Things Take Time out on LP (on popular demand). We’re also trying to enjoy the late coming of spring. In other words, don’t worry if you don’t hear from us in a while. All is well in the Lighthouse. Illustration by Kristoffer Nilsson.

oday is March 8 and the International Womens Day. This annual event is the commemoration of women’s accomplishments throughout history, but most importantly a sign of solidarity with, and reminder of, the continued struggle for women’s rights, equality and justice worldwide.
In celebration of this date Molly Nilsson has made a new music mix, commissioned by Stockholm/London collective
TOP NICE Radio.

To follow up on the celebrations (afk) Nilsson will be DJ-ing at a party the 8BITCH WOMIT FUNFAIR (a cyberfeminist blast) Saturday March 9th at Mindpirates e.V. in Berlin.

Baby, sometimes I don’t understand you
You’re the abstract art in my Modern Museum
Baby, sometimes we fall apart
but the ruins of my heart stand like the Colosseum
I hope you die, by my side
the two of us at the exact same time
I hope we die, long from now
the two of us at the exact same time
 
Maybe it’s all beyond control but baby you can have my soul
I hope you die, by my side
Maybe it’s all ages away but I can’t help but think of the day
I hope we die at the exact same time
 
Baby, your lungs are bigger than a football field
I’m the hooligan of your heart
sometimes we win and sometimes we lose our dreams
but I‘ll always wear the colours of your team
 
Baby, you’re the coolest moon when the nights begun
I’m a goth in the sun and we can sleep through the summer days
I know you think I’m morbid when i say
I hope you die, by my side
the two of us at the exact same time
I hope we die, long from now
the two of us at the exact same time

A big thanks to VGKids and Warpaint Studios in Ypsilanti, MI who designed and printed these awesome tour posters for Molly Nilsson’s In Real Life Tour 2012. Check out their websites! Not only do they look great hanging on a wall, they also fold in half and slip perfectly into a LP sleeve. Very limited edition. Keep a look out for them in your town!
