Biography
EDITH BACKLUND writes songs about women with seduction in their eyes and daggers in their purses. About fallen war-heroes and her fear of dying. Her new album “Death by Honey” was released in Sweden on April 6 2008.
“Death by Honey” was produced and recorded by Pär Wiksten of The Wannadies. He has also been involved in the writing process.
Edith Backlund was still a teenager when “You and Me-Song” owned the charts back in the 90’s. Needless to say, Pär Wiksten and The Wannadies were the it-band. Had Edith known back then that she would one day be recording an album with the man whose voice she’d been listening to for hours at end, she would not have believed it.
Edith and Pär first met over coffee, a meeting arranged by a mutual friend. They decided to write a few songs together, just for the hell of it. Before they knew what hit them, a year had passed.
Ten new songs are now ready to strike the world with amazement.
BACKGROUND
Backlund has previously released the EP “Waste another day” (2005) and the full-length album “Merely Daydreams” (2006).
Both records received good airplay and even better reviews.
During 2006 Backlund toured with her band throughout Sweden and appeared at some of Sweden’s biggest tv-shows.
Neil Young found her song “Rosie” and put it on his website “Living with war” where it was voted one of the top-ten anti-war songs.

Edith, thank you for the friendship. Your songs, and I mean every one, are simply wonderful. Of course we will always have our individual favorites. For me "Rosie" is just one damn pretty song. And "Worry Sick" creates so many different images. I really loved the way the song built and buil. Powerful. But, the song and the lyrics I wish I had written is "Suburban Bliss". You so beautifully capture the moments so many many live in. Well done my friend, so very well done. i hope all is great there. Hopefully soon I will be able to visit your country. Be well, and thank you for sharing your music. Your vocals are simply wonderful
