Genuine Harmony, hailing from Karlstad, was formed in the mid 00’s, when Oscar and Simon started playing together already in the seventh grade. A few years and some bandmembers later they have now released their first single, the two track strong “A Thousand Times Before”.
And they produce a straight, simple and nice indie pop. Simple, efficient melodies, straight riffs, a pleasant sound and a nice drive, which you can listen to in the single’s two songs here below. They are also available on Spotify and if you’d like to hear more songs, you can visit Genuine Harmony’s Myspace page.
Bring the Mourning On brings us to the US and to the country music areas where Neil Young spent a lot of time in during the seventies. Dark, alternative country with a hint of rock, the band says about their music, which I think is a good description.
The sound feels classic and Henning Pettersson show the right suffering in his voice; listen especially to the song “Let the Battle Begin” here below, a song that has a lot of what you could ask from the genre.
The debut album, “Going Going Gone”, was released in January and is available since a few days on Spotify. Find out more about Bring the Mourning On on their site.
On New Years Eve the duo Lilla Sällskapet released their two track debut single “Genova”. 10 more songs are underway, which I suspect will be the content of a debut album coming up later this year.
The duo is described as a techno lover meeting up with an eighties’ nostalgic. And the eighties nostalgia is hard to miss in these synth pop-sounding songs, both of them in Swedish.
Here below you can listen to the b-side “Snart”, which I like the best. You can find Lilla Sällskapet on Facebook, on Spotify and on Youtube.
Orange Earth, which I wrote about in June last year, released a new EP a couple of months ago, “Southern Beech”. They continue experimenting in the outskirts of the psychadelia and the shoegaze regions and moves into jazz territories from time to time. Completely unpredictable from song to song and many times within the songs as well, which makes it even more interesting.
The duo Old Amica had a hard time finding continuity in their collaboration as they lived in different places in Sweden during years. Now one of them lives in Umeå and the other in Stockholm, but in 2010 they fit the pieces together and found a way of working together and producing music by sending files over the net.
In spring the debut EP was released and in November the second EP “For a Second EP”. The last EP contains seven tracks where they blend singer-songwriter with electronica, experimentation with tradition. All in a mellow and bare ambience.
