Elin Palmer

Long time hipster crush, Elin Palmer of the Lee Lewis Harlots, is finally breaking out with her own heart fluttering solo album. Born in Värmland Sweden, her music roots stem back to the folk music of Sweden. Typically hired for her precision with the violin and Nyckelharpa (an ancient Swedish instrument) she is more of a “multi-instrumentalist”; even rocking out some guitar for the upcoming album.

Elin has had the pleasure of working with a lot of acclaimed artists throughout the years, including 16 Horsepower, M. Ward, The Czars, Wovenhand, Basia Bulat, The Fray, and Kal Cahoone. She was also a core member and string arranger for Munly, in his former group Munly and The Lee Lewis Harlots. Elin often tours and plays for Eric Bachmann (of Archers of Loaf) in the band Crooked Fingers. She has performed arrangements by Tom Hagerman of Devotchka and toured with the band as a performing musician— including a May 19, ‘08 performance on Late Night with Conan O’Brien.

Being a well-established working musician for years now, Elin’s new project highlights her beautiful vocal and instrumental arrangements with ethereal Scandinavian accents flavoring her own (and oh, SO refreshing) take on indie rock. Her few solo performances have already thrown her to the top of Denver’s music heap with a sellout crowd on her video release show at the Hi-dive.

Her first solo album/EP “Postcard,” produced by local legend Bob Ferbrache of Absinthe studios has recently been released.
