Stenbeck fronted the Brooklyn-based post-disco band Folding Legs from 2009 to 2015. In the Spring of 2017, she launched Galleriet (Swedish pronunciation: [ɡalɛˈrǐːɛt], "The Gallery")[2] and released her debut solo album, Romantic Gestures, later the same year.[3] Three of the songs from the album, "Right Wavelength", "Homesick Lover" and "Juvenile", premiered on Swedish national radio in Musikguiden for Sveriges Radio P3.[4][5] In 2018, she released the EP, Send Me Your Daughter.[6]

Stenbeck, who self-produces all her work, employs the use of masks, audiovisual installations and other theatrical elements in her music videos and live performances.[7]

Music Videos
gollark: Hmm, they might just use a pi digits formula using arbitrary-precision decimals or whatever then multiply it by two.I doubt it though.
gollark: I'm fairly sure they probably won't actually be operating on them as numbers, but digit-wise, somehow.
gollark: No.
gollark: There is a 10000 digits of tau thing up on the tauday page, but they don't list how they get it.
gollark: For Pi, you have magic formula like these for getting digits. I'm annoyed that there are none I can find easily for Tau.
