GAUPA managed to grow by quality. Their unique sound hasn't remained unnoticed and word by mouth spread fast GAUPA (lynx in Swedish) is a rock band from Falun, Sweden.
With surreal lyrics, a highly energetic female singer, and a sound of progressive rock with doom/folk/ psychedelic influences, they released their debut EP in June 2018 and have since then established an international name on the scene. "GAUPA" - their self-titled debut EP - was well received and the band did one of their first performances on Scandinavia's biggest rock festival: Sweden Rock, which praised the band in the magazine with the following words: "You can tell they are experienced musicians and the singer Emma Näslund is a force of nature. Ethereal and fairy-like with a voice that seems to draw its power out of the deepest spirits of nature."
Word spread quickly around the world, even to the Japanese BURRN! magazine: "With arrangements that feel as natural and magical as those of Björk's and The Cranberries' together with the mystical and mesmerizing vocals of singer Emma Näslund, this exquisite work of art delivers a superb balance between retro nostalgia and modern elements."
In April 2020 GAUPA followed up the debut with releasing their first full length album "Feberdröm" gaining even more attention. In 2021 GAUPA re-entered the studio to record the second full length album "Myriad".
