Swedish indie rock sensation Linn Koch-Emmery releases her highly anticipated new single, “Happy,” today via Boys Tears. Serving as the second single from her upcoming album ‘Borderline Iconic,’ set for release in May, “Happy” tells the story of the complexities within relationships, exploring the fleeting hope that lingers when they come to an end.

With a blend of gritty electric guitar riffs, pulsating percussion, and an ethereal chorus that captivates audiences and encourages sing-alongs, the song beautifully encapsulates Linn’s unique sonic signature and poignant lyrical narrative. Credit for its seamless production goes to Pete Robertson of The Vaccines, whose expertise shines through in every note. Reflecting on the inspiration behind “Happy,” Linn Koch-Emmery shares, “There’s never as much hope as in the beginning and right before the end of a relationship.”

In tandem with the single release, fans can look forward to witnessing Linn Koch-Emmery’s electrifying stage presence, with a headline performance scheduled at The Social in London on March 19th. This promises to be an unforgettable experience for attendees, showcasing Linn’s raw talent and magnetic energy. Additionally, she will be featured in the esteemed Rolling Stone UK in March, cementing her position as a burgeoning force in the music industry. Amidst the growing buzz, her star continues to rise, with accolades pouring in from publications such as ATWOOD Magazine and Wonderland Magazine, solidifying her notable presence in the indie music scene. Her music has also gained traction on all Nordic New Music Friday playlists and Indie Highlights, further expanding her reach across the region.

Following the success of her debut single, Linn continues to captivate fans with her raw and emotive sound, offering a refreshing perspective on love, loss, and everything in between. Hailing from Hamburg, Germany, and raised in Norrköping, Sweden, her musical journey began as a lifeline during her childhood and teenage years. ” I was an anxious kid,” she reveals. “Listening to music was an escape; a lot of things suddenly made sense.” Despite lacking a musical upbringing, Linn’s independent connection to music propelled her to follow her passion.

In her childhood, Linn immersed herself in daydreams fueled by music, envisioning a future where she played in a band and wrote songs. Her early attempts at forming a band with her twin sister and friends eventually evolved into a solo career, marked by the release of her 2018 EP, ‘Waves’ which included the popular track, “Don’t Sleep on My Luv,” and then her debut album, ‘Being the Girl,’ in 2021. The critically acclaimed album, nominated for a Swedish Grammy, solidified Linn’s position as a talented storyteller with unique lyrical style and infectious hooks. Her success has taken her on tours across Germany, the U.S, U.K, and Mexico, including supporting acts for Liam Gallagher and Los Bitchos, as well as performances at renowned festivals such as Roskilde, Bestival, Way Out West, and Sommer Am See.
