Henric de la Cour

Born in Eskilstuna, Sweden in 1974, Henric de la Cour first established himself on the Swedish alternative scene as the singer of Yvonne, a 1990s band whose sound blended new wave, gothic rock and dark pop, with four albums released between 1995 and 2001. After the band ended, he continued with Strip Music, a project launched in the early 2000s with David Lindh, in a vein still marked by alternative rock, cold keyboards and more direct songwriting, evidenced by two albums released in 2004 and 2006. From the late 2000s, Henric de la Cour developed a solo career where the post-punk and synthpop heritage takes more center stage, with a more electronic approach, clear melodic lines and a melancholic atmosphere without completely leaving the rock register. His first solo album, Henric de la Cour, appeared in 2011, followed by Mandrills in 2013, Gimme Daggers in 2018, and My Bones, Your Ashes in 2025. Henric de la Cour has also collaborated with Andreas Tilliander and participated in Per Nordmark's Bad Hands project, while maintaining a live presence tied to Nordic independent circuits.
