While waiting for a new album from Emerald Park we can now listen to their new single “Reality Bites”. Two great songs, with a somewhat new sound, where the acoustic guitars play a bigger part and everything feels more direct in a way.
Their great sense of melodies are there as before and with a hint of folk vibes I almost feel like joining the choir as I listen.
You can listen to the songs on Spotify or on Bandcamp, and if you haven’t listened to the excellent last album “For Tomorrow”, you can listen and download it on Bandcamp. You will also find Emerald Park on Facebook.
Teah’s debut album “The Art of Frying Eggs” transfers me to the nineties and the USA together with the successful female singer/songwriters who dominated the lists then, later represented in Sweden by for example Lisa Miskovsky.
You can listen to the album at Teah’s site or on Facebook. Here’s the first track “Paint the Town Red”:
Massive guitars and shoegaze is what hits me as I listen to First Love, Last Rites’ debut album, which was released at the start of this year. And through this big sound trickle smooth melodies and harmonies, resulting in a dreamy feeling. To me, the best track is “I’m Gone”, which you can listen to here below.
Empire Express slowly build their instrumental songs around a simple theme, to finally land in grandiose sound walls or to explode in sparkling rock crescendos like in “Valleyland – part 2” here below.
“Valleyland” is also the name of the debut album which was released in January, an album they’ve been working on for two years. You can listen to the album on Spotify or on Soundcloud. You can also visit their site.
Jonas Schwartz has a special voice. Intense, dramatic, but without overacting. It strikes me that he’s very similar to Fredrik Nilsson in Shotgun Crackers, whose tone and expression are very close to Jonas’.
The music also contains some amount of drama, I note as I go through Jonas’ strong EP trilogy from last year. Some indie, a dose of the sixties, a little bit of Göteborg and then some Weeping Willows. If that makes any sense? Listen for yourself here below in “Dream On” from the EP “Sisyphus”.
