About

Lis Er Stille

In a disused freezer on an old farm outside the city of Århus, Denmark. This is where ‘Lis Er Stille’ resides and creates.

The four band members come from very different musical backgrounds – from classical over jazz to hard rock and metal. When the different styles and lives melt together the outcome is a unique sound and expression. Some tend to define it as somewhere in the middle of “symphonic prog-art-heaven rock”, but let’s just call it rock music for now. Rock music with a story to tell.

Lis Er Stille recently released their third album ‘The Collibro’. The album has been produced and recorded in isolation by the band members themselves, for then to be mixed and mastered in the dark of northern Sweden by Magnus Lindberg of Cult of Luna.
As with the rest of Lis Er Stille’s music, ‘The Collibro’ requires commitment from the listener. This is hardly preferred as background music, and thus in return for proper listening, you risk being sucked into a larger world, where music, atmosphere and history merge together, into shapes that matter.

Lis Er Stille’s mantra has always been ‘no compromise.’ The band does not believe in cultural rules regarding the creation of music, what it should contain or when. Music emerges from the very deepest and highest places, and cannot be limited by rules or time at any cost. A piece of music takes the time it needs to tell the story it is meant to tell. It may last for 2 seconds or 30 years if it needs to. There are no right or wrong. Only true commitment to the universal expression that is music.

Lis Er Stille is also known for being a fantastic and expressive live band. Since the release of the debut ‘The Construction of the Amp-train’ in 2006 the band has played numerous concerts, both headline tours in Denmark and concerts outside the country. Lis Er Stille also played at ‘Popkomm’ in Berlin, at Sweden’s biggest festival, ‘Peace & Love’ in Borlänge and the Danish ‘Roskilde Festival’.

Senior Editor of ‘Rolling Stone Magazine’, David Fricke, once saw a Lis Er Stille show. He chose the band for the magazine’s ‘Pick of the month’ in which he, among others, compared Lis Er Stille to Icelandic ‘Sigur Ros’ and the great masters of ‘Pink Floyd.’

…we will live up to this. And hopefully change your world!
