In the Autumn Rasmus Faber and the German duo Syke’n’Sugarstarr released the house hit “We Go Oh“. In this beautiful acoustic version there are not many house vibes left, though. In the press text they write: “So for those of you who don’t like house music or think that Swede’s who make house music are…. well, not particularly musical, this is for you : )”. Behind the microphone yo’ll find Linus Norda.
The hip hop group Zonen released the new single “Avdomnad” (“Numb”) in February. It seems like this is a first taste of an upcoming EP they are working on right now.
I have no idea who’s behind the artist name MNWMN, as they have chosen to hide in a mystical shimmer, which is even more obvious in the suggestive video to their electro pop-vibing debut single “Bliss of Insanity”.
I stick with the Led Zeppelin-vibes in this second post for the day. At least when it comes to the starting track “The Club” on Kusk’s new EP “The Ride Is All”, which was released earlier this year. They say themselves that they have been inspired by The Black Keys and The White Stripes, which feels even more obvious as the second song “Be, Do” comes up and when they after that takes it a little more easy in the suggestive “Mr. Swanky”. Great stuff all four songs, with a nice ambience, where each song has it’s own character. Here are two song plus the video to “Mr Swanky”.
The quartet Marrakech, hailing from Umeå, have taken their band name from a song by Crosby, Stills & Nash, “Marrakech Express”. And even if CSN is not exactly what comes to my mind, when I listen to Marrakech’s first single, I land somewhere in that era. What I hear is psyckadelic rock and blues rock, flavoured with the fact that they sing in Swedish. In the song “Mitt Liv” (“My Life”) I’m reminded at first of Cream but soon I feel quite a few Led Zeppelin vibes. That feeling remains to some extent when I listen to the second song “Robert Johnsson”, but overall I feel more influence from Black Sabbath than from anything else. Listen for yourself here below.
