Heart-Sick Groans

Heart-Sick Groans – “Black Hair Typography” -EP

I didn’t quite realize how much I missed receiving new music from Heart-Sick Groans until I listened to their new four-track EP “Black Hair Typography”. Cause it’s been a couple of years since I heard from them, and the singer Johan Brännström explains: “We had to find out if there’s more to life than music. There isn’t.”
It’s an EP where I feel at home, but at the same time they sound more unique than ever before in their special blend of sunny folk-indiepop. There are four songs, each one with it’s own character, and my favourite varies every time I listen. It’s like a lovely spring pastry, sweet and tasty, but which tastes a bit different depending on from which side you start to eat. Here are two songs:

Björns vänner – “Märker ni ingenting alls?” – EP

Björns vänner, hailing from Malmö, had a short but colourful career between 2002 and 2005. Yesterday they made a comeback with a brand new EP, which is also a first taste of a new album coming out in the Autumn. The band wasn’t part of my own musical menu back in those days, but I can understand the passion among their fanbase for the band’s uncromising rock sound and Rickard Schickes lyrics when I listen to these new songs.

Erik Christoffer – “Spanish Orange Trees”

And now a debut release. We like debuts here on Meadowmusic, as you may have noticed. It’s Erik Christoffer who has released the song “Spanish Orange Trees”, a bittersweet piano driven ballad about a Spanish adventure.
