Bossa Nova dancing ballerinas and heart-melting harmonies. Prima Ballerina is the debut full-length of the Swedish sisters Piroth, an album that sounds like summer.After Piroth’s first concert in Copenhagen someone from the audience said “it sounds like their voices arise from fairy dust”. The sisters Nina & Johanna spellbind their audience, young as old, from the sailors in the archipelago of land to the Berlin undergrowth. In Berlin they also wrote some of the songs from their debut full-length Prima Ballerina, released on their own Oma Gusti imprint August 20. Piroth experiments with harmonies that sometimes are so fragile that they vibrate on the edge and their songs contain such beautiful harmony, melody and instrumentation that one might not pay attention to the lyrics at first. Listeners who take their time to do so will learn more about the stories they tell and the message behind Prima Ballerina. The album was recorded and produced by Piroth in a little German village “Trittelwitz” in an old hall which gave a really beautiful acoustic to the recordings. The album, both musically and the design on the digipac made by Martha Ulonska and Pontus Fredin, symbolizes a ballerina music box, that Nina and Johanna played with as children. Piroth’s timeless music has been compared with Kings of Convenience, Nouvelle Vague, Simon and Garfunkel and the sisters Mc Garrigel even though they started writing as children before listening to much music at all.Nina and Johanna Piroth grew up in Stockholm, with family roots in Finland and Austria. They started making music together while spending summers in the Alps. The sound of Piroth, with a base of guitar and vocal harmonies together with a variety of live and sampled instruments, developed through the years into a personal style mixed of acoustic pop, bossanova, and poetic ballads with punk and folk influences.
