Stepping into the light
With your roots strong and way clear
Don't go where we can't reach
Don't do what you won't teach
I'll give you conditions to thrive
Where the birds sing only for you
I'll give you conditions to thrive
Where I can melt into you
Listen and hasten along
It's the days end keeping us strong
And later when it's getting on
Won't you give me permission to die
I'll give you conditions to thrive
Where the birds sing only for you
I'll give you conditions to thrive
Where I can melt into you

'One of The Irish Times’ “10 best Irish albums of 2023 so far”'
‘…weave the kind of spells that are
virtually impossible to escape from. The result is an unexpected, under-ether thrill ride, equal measures woozy, wistful and wonderful.’ - The Irish Times
'One of the country’s most singular talents.’ - The Thin Air
Sweden's Catharina Jaunviksna, aka Badlands, creates gently glowing '80s-inspired pop - think of it as new wave in pastel rather than neon. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 2, 2021
