History is the fourth studio album by Swedish singer-songwriter Molly Nilsson, released on 14 December 2011. It was Nilsson's final album to be entirely self-released, as she started collaborating with Night School Records afterwards. History has been cited as Nilsson's "breakout" album, including by herself.[1][2]
Regarding the album's concept and title, Nilsson explained:
Each song tells a story, and together they form a narrative. [No one's] life weighs more than another, yet not everyone ends up in the history books. I took this opportunity to feel what it's like to hold the pen that writes history.[3]
Release
History was originally self-released through Nilsson's own label Dark Skies Association. The CD version was released on 14 December 2011 and the vinyl version followed in April 2012.[4][5] In association with Night School Records, History was then released as a digital download on 31 January 2019,[6] while reissues of the CD and vinyl versions followed on 29 March 2019.[7] It was again reissued on vinyl on 29 September 2023.[8]
