’Dear Euphoria (aka Elina Johansson) is dark and mysterious, not too unlike Stina Nordenstam in some regards, but warmer and approachable, more analog and more intimate.. When Elina lets loose those huge harrowing swoops, way up towards the ether. It sounds so eerie and other-worldly and, of course, quite beautiful.. Absolutely haunting.. Very recommended!’
-It's a trap (US)
'A wandering feather soundtrack. The beauty of Elina's voice remains but the music is more sophisticated. More audacious..
To me, Pop pills is the best and most interesting song I heard this year. To be listened LOUD.’
- Absolut Noise (FR)
'Her musical universe is daring, dense, minimalistic, sophisticated and deeply modern carried out hand of Master by the excellent interpreter and composer Elina Johansson. One of my preferred albums of the year 2009’
- With Music In My Mind (BL)
'A very astonishing album between The Knife and Operette. Pop in its pure form'
-Zuckerkick (DE)
'Elina Johansson alias Dear Euphoria creates with minimal tools and merges pop and avantgarde to a fascinating melange'
-Roteraupe (DE)
8/10
- Popcultures (DE)
On the new album 'Heal my violence' Dear Euphoria goes against the grain with their at times quite experimental and unpolished music. With courage they move between alternative poptunes, athmospheric indie-hymns and avant-gard. Every piece lives its own little life. In the end it is the melancholistic soaring melodies and characteristic frail voice of Elina Johansson that ties it all together. Like a beautiful red thread running through the stilistic schizophrenia.
Now available on Klicktrack and CdBaby.

Klyftor växer och orättvisor blir allt fler i takt med att fler och fler människor känner att inget går att ändra på, men hur liten man än kan känna sig så kan man alltid påverka och ju fler som känner att de kan påverka desto större ändring kan man åstadkomma. 'Korrespondens i Tystnadens Tid' heter den nya låten på min sida, kom in och lyssna och kom ihåg att ensam kommer aldrig vara stark!
