Lina Tullgren
Brittle electric guitar and deadpan vocals that feel like a cold morning in a warm sweater. Introspective indie rock for quiet rooms and long thoughts.

Lina Tullgren is a US-based artist whose work occupies the intersection of slowcore, indie rock, and avant-folk. Originally from Maine, Tullgren's musical foundation is rooted in classical fiddle, a background that informs their distinctive electric guitar technique, which often utilizes unconventional phrasing and melodic leaps.
Their career began with the tape-recorded 'Wishlist' EP (2016), which established a signature aesthetic of minimalist, high-intimacy songwriting. The debut full-length 'Won' (2017) expanded this sound with a full band while maintaining a 'piercingly intimate' core. Critically, Tullgren is often grouped with the 'sad girl' indie cohort but distinguishes themselves through a more rigorous, art-rock approach to composition and a refusal of melodic sentimentality. Their later work, such as 'Free Cell' (2019), incorporates more complex arrangements and synth textures, moving toward a sophisticated chamber-pop sensibility. Tullgren's cultural position is that of a 'musician's musician' within the Brooklyn/New England indie scenes, valued for their uncompromising honesty and technical precision.
