Henrik von Euler has been a frequent guest here this year. Besides music from the duo Dödens Dal and solo productions with his Rigas he has now also released a new EP with his second solo project Rigas Den Andre. Here it’s about minimalistic instrumental electronica, called Skweee, with what often sounds like 8-bits synths; simple wave forms which he bends and twists into something new and unique. Here are two songs:
Johan Bring from the electronica duo Stygg, which I’ve written earlier about, released a first single in Spring from a new project where he calls himself Professor Johan Bring. It’s called “Universum” and is a laidback song with funk-disco vibes, where he talk-sings in a way that makes me think of the days of Just D. Together with his colleague David Strindberg from Stygg and Punx he has of course also created a video to the song. On his Soundcloud page you’ll find more songs and remixes from the new project.
And the Stockholm trio Sthlmiana released their second single in May, “Allt ljus på scen”. We recognise them from their debut in this eighties-vibing synth pop, which reminds me about Mauro Scocco from that era.
Here’s SoLBLoMMa‘s new single “(Come Count The) Sheep (With Me)”, an electro pop track with a breath of the eighties. It’s a her first single under her own name, and if the music sounds familiar, you may have heard her earlier productions under the name kiN. Sara Solblomma is an odd and individualistic artist, not only through her almost Minnie Mouse-vibing vocals, but also through the message and her variegated career, which started with the album debut in 1997 and then continued through a row of various projects, musical experiments and collaborations. A new single is coming up during Autumn. Here is “(Come Count The) Sheep (With Me)”:
Today I’m starting with a reissue of music originally released in 2001. It’s about the trio Chocolate Barry, whose album “Cucumber Trees and Ice Cold Lemonade” now is available for streaming and downloading. The band, hailing from Malmö, consisted of the two brothers John and Chocolate Barry and also Marco Manieri. The contagious song “I Cry Because of You Argentina”, here below, was played quite a bit back then, but isn’t entirely representative for the album, which is a unique blend of sixties’ nostalgia, electronica, disco, pop and psychadelia with both vocal and instrumental tracks. I could imagine this as a movie soundtrack; maybe then a movie about Chocolate Barry himself.
