Jackson Kelley is an american musician from Utah, whose instrumental project Einstein In a Patent Office was picked up by the Swedish label Mareld Records, to be released from here in Sweden. In March he released the EP “Supernova Sounds” from which you can listen to the track “Nadir” here below. It’s an imaginative, instrumental music, downtempo, where he plays with large spaces and various ambiences and styles.

There’s a pleasant flashback in the sound gallery with analogue pads and string sounds that remind me of Vangelis, while a lot of other sounds and beats draw me away from a pure retro vibe. In “Nadir”, here below, he lets jazz-soft guitar figures guide us through the track’s many  facets, with some passages that could’ve been part of a progressive rock song. Enjoyable and interesting music that works both in the background as well as something to indulge yourself in for a while.

Josefine Fagerström and her solo project Tight Silk is out with a new single, “Ain’t Gonna Get Me Dreamin”, as a follow up to the debut single “Like a Feather“. Aiming at the dance floor she manages also with this track to create a great groove and a catchy chorus, dressed in her very own sound mix of computer game synth sounds and house pianos with a kind of indie vibe to it all.

Fou de Toi follow up on Autumn’s quite catchy guitar-pop song “Pick Up the Phone” with “Heartless”, a song that I passed by at first without reacting, but that after listening some more appears to be just as sticky as the predecessor.
