Background:

Sara Culler was born in Sweden on July 23rd 1978 - The daughter of a Swedish mother and an American father. She grew up in Dallas, Texas, USA with an American citizenship. After two years of school, Sara moved back to Malmö, Sweden 1987 - pushed and mashed herself through more school - gathered "some" skills - got calluses in her head and in her heart thick enough to be able to write songs about 1996-97. Sara still lives in Malmö and is currently recording more songs than ever before -

Very much hoping for a record deal.

A little stuff said about Sara Culler:



"It's always nice to hear a new, fresh female voice hit the scene. It seems like of late, there have been some really incredible ones that I have been enjoying. From Julie Dorion to Tracey Thorn and of course Feist. But one that certainly belongs in that class but that you may not be aware of is Sara Culler. Sara is from Sweden and has an intoxicating voice that sounds as if she has been recording for longer than her young age suggests".

Joe Long, woxy.com and EachNoteSecure.com - March 13 2007



"And talk about a likable voice: Sweden's Sara Culler opens her mouth and some part of me melts a bit. "Are You Sleeping" begins as a placid march, with a gentle one-two keyboard/drum riff. With the verse come lyrical blurts, rushed between beats in a clipped but also smile-inducing way (I think it's that voice of hers, that beguiling tone she gets even singing in rushed bursts); but notice in and around the singing how the music is building by way of that swooping, supple bass line. It's setting us up for something, and that something turns out to be a sweet, expansive chorus--a great sing-along thing set against a whimsical pastiche of blippy, ringy sounds, having the effect of being produced by some intricate Rube Goldberg-like apparatus.

Regarding the song 'At Least Like Melissa'

"Me, I'm on board from Culler's first Sinead O'Connor-like bursts of emotion as she spits out single syllables at the end of the first verse, and how that is immediately followed by an overflow of spilling words in the first line of the chorus. Suppressed violence somehow lurks around the edges here--this isn't the quiet gentle thing it might seem".

Jeremy Shlosberg, fingertipsmusic.com - January 9th 2006



"This latest one was Sara Culler who invited us on a roller coaster ride through her brain in the song 'wolflike they are' taken from her carefully compiled 5-track promo with the same name. A CD that crunches and crackles upon a foundation of quickly programmed drum machines and fabulous synthesizer sounds and guitar chords. About the same as a dream that you don't really remember what it was about when you wake up only that it was beautiful and unpleasant at the same time".

Pelle Moeld (earlier known as Gustafsson), host of Swedish Public Radio's P3 Lab - July 8th 2006
