DARK SKIES ASSOCIATION are proud and excited to announce the release of Molly Nilsson’s 8th full length album this fall, a co-release with Night School Records: 2020.
"After a cancelled flight I found myself stranded at the Tokyo airport overnight. Between my interrupted bench naps the surroundings found their way into my dreams, particularly the big banners in the departure hall stating: 2020. Not aware that they were announcing upcoming
Olympic games, my imagination wandered. 2020, a leap year. The year of the rat, the election. Perfect vision. The year of hindsight. The repetition, the ritual of the superstitious. A spell cast on the approaching future; not yet there, but close enough to be seen with full clarity. The year itself seems to draw a circle around its followers, as to protect anyone who dares enter.
And it all begins on a late-Capitalist night…"
2 0 2 0 is out November 2nd 2018 on LP, CD and digital through DSA and Night School Records.

“The beginning moments of Molly Nilsson’s second (sic) album Follow The Light now seem like the start of a personal mythology that was to reach further than she could have imagined. Few contemporary artists have so seeped into the underground pop psyche than the Stockholm-born songwriter. After releasing her debut These Things Take Time on hand-made CDrs, Nilsson’s follow up was a leap in scope and ambition. Of course, the personal takes on a tumultuous life in Berlin and the journeys to and from it inform the songs as before, but there’s a growing maturity in the songwriting in evidence. From the diary pages of These Things Take Time to a growing stature as a songwriter in touch with the universal, Follow The Light contains many of Nilsson’s now firm fan-favourites.”

DARK SKIES ASSOCOCIATION and NIGHT SCHOOL RECORDS are proud to present you with the latest addition to our family, a 13 song diamond called Zenith. In celebration of its birth we cordially invite you to the release party show in Berghain Berlin on September 15th.
All dates and cities to be continued…
Ok, so obviously end of May is already here. And as we promised earlier this year to have the new Molly Nilsson album out by now it’s time to break the silence. So… The album has been a liiittle bit delayed, which means it will be out and ready for your ears and hearts in August… 2018.
NOOOO just kidding. 2015. TWO-THOUSAND-AND-FIFTEEN. But do not despair dear friends, the waiting has made it all the better. Like a bottle of pink champagne. Or an evasive lover. Meanwhile we will sporadically drop songs on videos over the web throughout the (so called) summer to remind you that we still love you. That was all for know. Peace.
Molly Nilsson’s new album is almost ready for the world. Preliminary release date set to end of May 2015. Meanwhile we are taking a break from action. Hang in there.
Molly Nilsson is releasing her first ever 7″ single later this month. This virgin comes with two new songs, a duo simply called SEX. And yes, singles are couples too. This little gem will be for sale in our online shop as well as digital download. As usual the release will be accompanied by a lusty release party in the city of Berlin. More information on this in its due time.
Music: Molly Nilsson
Track: Plaza Italia
EP: Sólo Paraíso
Label: Dark Skies Association
Video: Graw Böckler http://www.grawboeckler.de/
Buenos Aires / Berlin 2006 / 2014
Pop music rarely comes as honest and heartfelt as when delivered by Molly Nilsson. Having traveled around the world singing to the romantic and the doomed, Nilsson found herself in the late Summer of 2014 in Buenos Aires. Inspired by the crumbling landscape and the heavy hearts that populate it, Sólo Paraíso is not only an ode to a specific time and space but a musical novella that meditates on youth, idealism and belonging. The soundtrack to a summer you thought you had when looking over bleached out old photo albums.
Finally it’s here! Visit our shop for more information.
As you may or may not be aware, the annual advent of Record Store Day means that non-Record Store Day releases end up being delayed. Unfortunately this has happened with the LP reissue of “These Things Take Time”. We’ve been told we should be receiving it in the next week or two so will commence shipping as soon as possible. Thanks for bearing with us. For more info read here: http://nightschoolrecords.com/category/news/
Song and video by Molly Nilsson. Recorded during the summer 2014 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Taken from the upcoming EP ¨Solo Paraíso¨, to be released later this year on DARK SKIES ASSOCIATION.

Dear Life,
I would never call you a bitch
All my miseries have made me rich
Dear Life, you know I love you secretly
even when you’re talking dirty to me
And I’m not only saying this cause I’m drunk
(though I am) I should tell you more often
if I think that I can
I really mean it, I really mean it
I really really mean it tonight
Take me through these avenues and boulevards
my rushing blood is a racing car tonight
I felt so high on life
These endless streets, my tired feet
are gonna get us far from wherever we are tonight
it felt so close tonight
Dear Life,
you felt so close tonight
From the airplane window the cities far below
look like glowing vomits in the snow
These sails will bring me where the wind is gonna blow
where we’ll go don’t tell me cause I don’t wanna know
Dear Life,
you felt so close tonight

Music video by Ernst Markus Stein. Song taken from History (DSA 2011).
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

After more than a year of slumber SILVER has awoken from a deep tape sleep. This Greatest Hits Compilation was originally released as a Christmas Special 2010, containing 10 evergreens from Molly Nilsson’s first 3 albums and also 2 previously unreleased tracks. This release is limited to an edition of 100 copies, all handnumbered by the artist herself (as always). When we first brought it out we had to spend long nights awake listening to the same tracks over and over again, drinking out of bottles, whilst recording over used cassettes purchased from thriftshops. Although this may sound like fun (we thought so too to begin with) it soon got tiring and the production was put on ice after only a dozen copies had been made.
Until now. Thanks to machines, located somewhere on the British Isles who did the work for us. This second round of SILVER is the same as the first in the regard of content and edition but since they are professionally recorded and printed they will actually play at the right speed. (This may be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your approach to music as a commodity). Please note that this release is made on cassette only.
Side A Silver, When Boys Don’t Call, 8000 days, The Lonely, We’re Never Coming Home, Won’t Somebody Take Me Out Tonight
Side B Europa, More Certain than Death, In the Mood for a Tattoo, Last Forever, Truth, A Song They Won’t Be Playing on the Radio.
Visit our online shop for more information and orders.

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
DARK SKIES ASSOCIATION wish All of You a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! If you have the chance, don’t miss Molly Nilsson’s performance at TOP NICE c/o Renseriet (Bolidenvägen 16B, Johanneshov) in Stockholm on Christmas Day December 25th! Don’t forget to become a free member here.
Molly 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.
Visit our Shop for more details.

DARK SKIES ASSOCIATION, among many others, enjoy the long dark nights ahead by lifting our eyes to gaze the star filled sky. Today it is 410 years ago the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe died in Prague. And although Brahe himself was an important scientist, leaving the world with his countless and at that time most accurate observations of the planetary motions, it is the life and deed by his assistant we would like to commemorate by presenting the first video from the upcoming album, Skybound, A homage to Johannes Kepler. Please note that it (like most our videos) contains some copyright infringement and due to this an incorrect music link is posted in the right corner (who is Gabriele Bellini anyway?), it also features advertisement which is out of our control since it’s a choice made by the copyright holder. None the less, enjoy the song and video by following this link.
DARK SKIES ASSOCIATION are proud to present you with a video for one of our favorite songs from the latest album Follow The Light (DSA 2010),”The Closest We’ll Ever Get To Heaven”.

The song was originally found on Molly Nilsson’s debut album These Things Take Time in 2008. Listen to his version of the song here.
DARK SKIES ASSOCIATION and MODERN ROMANTIC PRODUCTIONS are proud to present the new music film by Fjodor Donderer for Molly Nilsson “A Song They Won’t Be Playing On The Radio”. Song taken from the album Follow The Light (DSA 2010). Enjoy!
Over the years we have received mails and messages asking us when Molly Nilsson is finally going to set her foot on American soil, and now the time has come. DARK SKIES ASSOCIATION are in the process of planning Molly Nilsson’s first U.S.-tour in November 2011. We are on the look-out for cities, venues and dates so whether you are a fan, a booker or a general enthusiast: this is the time to let us know. Contact us on info@darkskiesassociation.org
