The duo A Swarm of the Sun, Erik Nilsson and Jakob Berglund, released their debut album “Zenith” the 30th of August. Influenced by bands like Mogwai, M83, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Logh and Cult of Luna, they paint a dark, suggestive and beautiful sound landscape.

I can’t help thinking about Pink Floyd as they build up the songs from low-voiced melodies and feelings up to grand, powerful sceneries. A real album with ideas behind it and an interesting journey from the beginning to the end.

You can find A Swarm of the Sun on their site, on Facebook or on Myspace. “Zenith” is also available on Spotify.

Here are two songs:
