Mattias Lies writes intimate, personal music where the Nordic folk tradition meets the heart of American storytelling. With roots in Sweden and a family history shaped by courage and resilience, his songs explore the journey of navigating through life’s challenges.
Since his debut in 2006, Mattias has released seven albums and toured throughout Sweden and the United States. His music is defined by a natural, down-to-earth feel and lyrics that focus on what truly matters in life.
““At times the musical expression, together with the singing, is almost Bellman-esque. Lies’ singing voice is beautifully fragile and accompanied by equally delicate and restrained music that allows the lyrics to come forward. Taken individually, the songs are finely tuned and well composed, conveying especially the nature-romantic themes in a striking way.” ” - Filip Vestling

BLOGGER MP3 HUGGER ON THE SINGLE "LIGHT & EASE" (RELEASED 2021)
“Picked up on a certain Simon & Garfunkel like folk sprawl here and that was before Art wandered into our lives after all these years. It is a faithful take on a formula that is as virulent as it was back at the peak of their fame. Despite all that this track allows for all sorts of meaningful disengagement from the constant poking and prodding of modern life, because it disentangles itself from wi-fi and alerts to instead roam the signal free country meadows where we were always at our happiest. Mattias is definitely onto something here and soon we will follow his every word. ” - mp3hugger
