About Us

Covered in Snow stands at the intersection of synth, indie and dark pop. It’s hard to fit Covered in Snow into a single genre, but maybe that's part of what makes the duo's emotional music unique. Their influences form a stable ground on which they formed their own sound: A genuine sound that stands out in today's music scene.

Formed in Stockholm, 2017, when longtime friends Tom Hedlund and Mikael Engström ended up living in the same city for the first time in years. Since then Covered in Snow has released one EP and several singles. The songs have been played on the radio in several countries and featured on Swedish national television in various productions. They have received stellar reviews and have been remixed by well-known acts such as Mesh, Man Without Country and Uncreated.

A full-length album is now recorded and ready to drop.

Equipment

We use Logic as our primary DAW. However, for idea generation and song writing NI Maschine, hardware and even GarageBand for IOS can be more inspiring. We use Native Instrument VSTs quite a lot, we have the Komplete bundle which covers most of our needs: From basslines with Massive to drums in Battery and Maschine. We usually try to get some played elements into the songs to give them a less static feel. Among the played elements you can find E-bow on electric guitars, actual bow´s on guitar for nice dark textures, chopped up vocals or just vocals drenched in effects to give them an instrumental feel. Sometimes we play percussive instruments and pass through bitcrushers or rhythmic delays to give them an electro-acoustic feel. We also have a set of analog synthesizers, like Prophet2, which we like to use to give the songs a less digital feel.
