About Weatherday
Weatherday is the musical project of a Swedish musician known as Sputnik (Oliver Sandell). The project emerged online and gained a devoted cult following with the 2019 debut album Come In, which spread through emo, shoegaze, and indie internet communities. Largely a solo, self-recorded endeavor, Weatherday is known for an intensely personal and uncompromising approach.
Sound and style
Weatherday's music blends emo, shoegaze, noise pop, and lo-fi indie into a dense, maximalist, and emotionally raw sound. The recordings layer distorted guitars, blown-out dynamics, and impassioned vocals, balancing chaos and melody in a way that resonated strongly with online underground audiences.
