Winny Lee to release So Here We Are
RIO DE JANEIRO – So Here We Are is the name of the new record of the Swedish alt-country sextet, Winny Lee. It will be released next 16th at a big place in Malmö, called Debaser.With two new members and new material, Winny Lee headed for the forest in August 2007 to record So Here We Are in just four days.
“We are growing as musicians, and as people. We are getting to know each other, and who ever knew that recording as album could be such a fulfilling experience. We love music, we love what we do, and we love each other. It’s very spiritual. And that’s the way we like it.” That’s what Winny Lee said about their record sessions on their blog on Myspace.
The current line-up includes members from other great Swedish bands such as Billie The Vision & The Dancers and label mates Blinders On. So Here We Are will be released by Background Noise Records on CD and for free digital download, available in January 16, 2008. Following the release, Winny Lee will head for the road during spring and summer2008.
Honestly, So Here We Are is quite beautiful, cohesive and sincere album. You can feel the passion’s atmosphere listening it entirely. Eleven songs influenced by Ryan Adams, Johnny Cash and maybe Hank Willians.

Their currently line up is Martin Kullberg (vocals, acoustic guitar), Gustav Kronkvist (guitars, banjo), Axel Gerdtsson (bass), Julia Chrintz-Gath (vocals, accordion, percussion), Martin Eriksson (guitar), Anders Oscarsson (drums, percussion).
