Molly Nilsson

With her ethereal stage presence, Berlin-based Swedish artist Molly Nilsson brings her empowering synth-pop to Athens' Death Disco venue (16 Ogigou) in mid-November. Nilsson tends to draw a goth/shoegazing crowd, although her music ranges from haunting introspection to radio bangers, with songs about love, isolation and loneliness. Tickets cost 20 euros from Viva's more.com.

Swedish synth-pop artist Molly Nilsson takes the stage at Death Disco in downtown Athens on Saturday, September 30, with a setlist of tracks from her recent album, "Imaginations," as well as older work that highlights the 32-year-old's evolution from "These Things Take Time," her debut album in 2008. She is joined by Marva von Theo, a duet that draws inspiration from 1980s dark wave.
