The Swedish-born Andersson played every instrument on Hummingbird, Go!, with the exception of “Now I Know,” which is a duet with legendary New Orleans musician Allen Toussaint, and “Innan Du Går,” a duet with Norwegian singer Brun.

With the help of a loop pedal, the singer took elements from her life and surroundings – her Swedish upbringing, her New Orleans home, the locusts in her garden, the water-filled soda bottles that doubled for a vibraphone on “The Waltz” – and recorded both demos and finished tracks for the project in her kitchen.

“I did all this crazy stuff,” Andersson said. “Instead of a keyboard, I filled up wine glasses with different amounts of water, and rubbed the rims, to get different notes; I’d seen a clown do that when I was a kid.

“The kitchen sounds amazing, it has wonderful, natural reverb.”

And Andersson’s D.I.Y. ethic didn’t stop there. While mixing the album in Sweden with producer Linus Larsson (Peter Bjorn and John, Mercury Rev), the singer needle felted 1,500 individual CD jackets for the teaser EP I the River, which quickly sold out.
