🎧 Approved: Amanda Bergman

Part-time regenerative farmer, part-time songwriter, Amanda Bergman makes music with the same patient, restorative quality that guides her offstage life. Her sound has always felt rooted - airy but grounded, quietly resilient.

Bergman previously released music under the aliases Hajen and Idiot Wind, resisting the idea of becoming an artist at all. That instinct for privacy later gave way to collaboration, when she fronted the Swedish supergroup Amason alongside Miike Snow’s Pontus Winnberg, Dungen’s Gustav Ejstes, drummer Nils Törnqvist and bassist Petter Winnberg - now her husband and creative partner.

Her new single ‘Grasp’, written by Bergman and arranged by her and her partner, captures that balance between stillness and unrest. Recorded almost entirely live at Stockholm’s Atlantis Metronome (the legendary ABBA studio), it’s a song of soft electronics and muted magnificence. Bergman’s stoic voice carries both ache and calm, turning heartbreak into something quietly transcendent.

“It was written the day after Trump and Elon took over the White House”, she explains. “It’s about the quiet sorrow that comes from witnessing an almost surreal, ‘Hunger Games’-like present unfold… not fighting fire with fire, but transforming that energy into something else”. 

‘Grasp’ feels exactly like that transformation - a protest rendered tender.
