Puh – “Djärv som kärleken”
Puh call their music fairy tale pop. And even if it’s not for the youngest children, there certainly is a feeling of story-telling in their varied instrumental music. I can hear the Swedish melancholy in folk progressive songs as well as the ambience from pupptries and burlesque journeys with horse and carriage. You can listen to all this on their debut album “Djärv som kärleken” (“Bold as Love”), which was released last month.
The band, hailing from Norrköping, was started in 2010 by the songwriter Jakob Sindahl as a solo project, but grew in size as he added more and more instruments to his compositions. Interestingly they have found a strong fan base in Brooklyn, NY. The organizer of the club Sugarcube in Brooklyn found them on the Internet and invited them to come and play. They grabbed the opportunity, travelled there and made an appreciated performance last year. Beside the appreciation and a bunch of new fans it also resulted in a contract with the Brooklyn based label The Snake, who now has released their debut.
