Biography

As a youngster in rural Sweden, Wieslander played in a variety of local bands before moving to Malmo, and forming Elevator Adam with his bass-playing brother Anders Wieslander, drummer Conny Stade, and keyboardist-guitarist Johan Weitner. The group released one album, Alcomoon, in 1995 on Payola, a Swedish subsidiary of German major BMG. The group splintered before a follow-up could be recorded, despite a small local hit single and some popularity as a touring attraction. After a brief stint in the revived The Saints, Wieslander joined his friend Ola Frick's band Moonbabies and began work on his first solo album, 2000's Twin Piloda, also for Payola/BMG. A cassette-only release on the Italian indie Best Kept Secret, Crawlspace, followed in 2001. The American indie label Parasol, having found some success with releases by Swedish indie act the Soundtrack of Our Lives and others, released Måns Wieslander's third album, Yet, in December 2002. ~ Stewart Mason, Rovi After a few years working with Lotta Wenglén, Ossler and others, Wieslander returned to his solo work in 2013 with the e.p. Beautiful Without Me. Since then, Måns has released a vast number of albums & e.p.s, including collaborations with Wenglén (as Blind Lake) & horror writer Matthew M. Bartlett (Fox´s Meat Outlet). He also plays with Thomas Holst. Genre-wise, Wieslander has never settled for one thing. He moves between shimmering pop, experimental post-punk, alternative folk & psychedelic excursions.
