Badlands is the musical solo name used by Swedish producer, songwriter and sound designer Catharina Jaunviksna based in Malmö. Her lush sound is clearly inspired by early new wave and The Haçienda's heyday, and the music can further be described as space-age fables told through analog synths, club beats and organic pop orchestration.^[1][2][3]
