The power of 'Won' — An interview with Lina Tullgren

 

One of the highlights of this year's festival is an appearance by Lina Tullgren, the up-and-coming Boston-based songwriter who grew up in South Berwick, Maine, and who just released her first full-length album, Won, on the label Captured Tracks.

Building off her haunting and brilliant 2016 EP WISHLIST, Tullgren's beguiling indie-folk finds new peaks with Won, a 10-song traversal of personal nostalgias and muted joys. As one of the quiet highlights of a festival of some big names, we spoke with Lina about old friends, wearing music out, and what she dances to.
