Bye Bye Brenda

On January 10th, the debut album from what Politiken called "a new power duo in Danish music" was released - namely the album "Landmarks" by Bye Bye Brenda, consisting of former Alphabeat lead singer Stine Bramsen and one of the country's top Americana/country musicians, Kajsa Vala.

Following the announcement of their spring concerts at DR Koncerthuset and a sold-out show at Musikhuset Aarhus, Bye Bye Brenda has expanded their tour schedule with an extended series of concerts in autumn 2025. The tour will cover all of Denmark, offering ample opportunity to enjoy the songs from their critically acclaimed debut album. These songs carry an intimate atmosphere, delving deep and resonating widely, inspired by artists like Kacey Musgraves, Bon Iver, and Phoebe Bridgers.

And if the critics are to be believed, there's much to look forward to: "Stine Bramsen sings as always like a walking light therapy lamp. And Kajsa Vala plays guitar with the expert calm and confidence," writes Politiken, emphasizing how beautifully they harmonize in a way that "can keep even the most entrenched winter blues at bay."

Gaffa is also enthusiastic about the Stine/Kajsa constellation and particularly their harmonies. In their 5-star review, they not only call the album "sublime" and "extremely successful," but also describe Bye Bye Brenda as "a perfect match," where their voices "meld together like a modern answer to the old days of Simon & Garfunkel."

So, autumn promises to be filled with beautiful and intimate evenings as Bye Bye Brenda takes their new songs across the country, where country and Americana set the stage for a series of honest, poetic stories and songs.
