Biography

Ashbury Heights is a Swedish Synthpop group consisting of singer/producer/songwriter Anders Hagström and singer Yasmine Uhlin (Since 2019). Originally the duo consisted of Anders Hagström and Yasmine Uhlin. Anders and Yasmine met in November 2005 and, upon discovering that they shared the same musical vision, decided to form a band. Their collaboration soon came into fruition and a 9 track demo entitled [Link] was released after a very intensive month in the studio. In November of 2008 Yasmine announced her departure from Ashbury Heights to form a new band [a=Javelynn]. Anders simultaneously announced the addition of Kari Berg to Ashbury Heights as a replacement for Yasmine, and the new lineup's first output was the album 'Take Cair Paramour'. In 2013, Tea F. Thimé joined Ashbury Heights and debuted as a singer in the album The Looking Glass Society (2015). She left the band in 2019 to focus on her PhD, being replaced by original vocalist Yasmine Uhlin.

LYRICS

I was born in the land of plenty
I was raised as a privileged child
This was once a great community
So they say, I don't know why
We built ships and automobiles
We made unions, guns and steel
Money talks in the angel's silence
Selling out once great ideals

Living in a ghost town
Feeling like a class clown
Running with the magpies
Walking like a crow
Never saw the factory
When it made out history
Now it's just a patch where the pennyroyal grows

Born with promise and chance of plenty
Walked that road in paramount shoes
Couldn't play the abacus melody
All I ever wanted was to be of use

One big chord of mocking birds
Cover the sky like a big f-word
Fame will get you heaps of treasure
Dedication is just a word
