After several years of traveling the world, London based Carmen Hillestad (27) has for the past year locked herself away and focused entirely on music. Now finally her efforts see the light of day, as she has begun the recording process proper of her debut album at Oslo’s Malabar studio (amongst others). Carmen makes psychedelic, moody alt. rock and her powerful voice is the perfect balance of the dark and the beautiful. Royal Trux, Cat Power, PJ Harvey, Syd Barrett and Velvet Underground are amongst her biggest influences. She has thus far played only a handful of shows in Oslo, but off the back of these we can see that there is a lot more to come from Carmen Hillestad.
