Recorded in her kitchen, DIY indie-pop songstress Theresa Andersson plucked, picked and even tapped everything from violins to soda pop bottles to create the uniquely beautiful "Hummingbird, Go!" alongside songwriter/producer Tobias Froberg (Peter Moren's The Last Tycoon).

Melody, harmony, rhythm, timbre; these are the traditional building blocks of pop music. Although you will find them in abundance on “Hummingbird, Go!”, the new record by Theresa Andersson hardly sounds like conventional pop. That's because the New Orleans singer-songwriter chose to approach her craft from different perspectives before she even began composing. "I stopped thinking in terms of traditional songwriting," Andersson explains. "I worked on shapes, forms, and textures, scents and colors. Elements which are more earthy and organic inspired me."

The album was recorded in Theresa's kitchen. She took a D.I.Y. approach to creating sounds to match what she heard in her head: The vibraphone on "The Waltz" is actually soda pop bottles filled with varying amounts of liquid, the slide guitar textures on "Hi-Low" were coaxed from her violin, mouth percussion doubled for drums, and a classical guitar, tuned down, stood in for conventional bass.

Produced by Swedish songwriter and recording artist Tobias Fröberg (who also helmed The Last Tycoon for Peter Morén, of Peter Bjorn and John), and featuring lyrical contributions from poet Jessica Faust, “Hummingbird, Go!” evokes a distinctly unique universe via its innovative instrumentation, unconventional approach, and inventive songs.
