Earlier we have seen Gustav Haggren in the band Gustav and the Seasick Sailors. Last year the band splitup, but luckily for us, Gustav has startet a new band, Case Conrad.
The debut album, “Dew Point”, which was recorded live in only two days, was released in October. Compare to the seasick sailors, this music has a different feeling, more dreamy, reflective, a little more mellow. And Gustavs voice is more sensitive and heartfelt than ever.
In November Gustav Haggren and the band’s guitar player Robert Johnson went to the US, with an ambition to tour across the continent during 4 months. You can follow the tour on their blog or on Twitter.
That the band Heart-Sick Groans is inspired by american folk music and Bob Dylan is nothing new, and I’ve written about them before. The singer in Heart-Sick Groans, Johan Brännström, takes it one step further though, as he digs his way straight down into the folk soil, in his new EP “My God How the Money Rolls In”.
To really create the right feeling for this music, the EP is even recorded on an old tape recorder.
Shotgun Language, aka Gustav Berry, is back with a new release, the EP “Mileage”. It’s about the special, alternative country and fifties’ rock we have heard some of before. This time with a more consistent album with 5 good songs.
On December 14th Emma Salmon releases her debut solo album “Goodbye Lady Luck”. She’s been working on the songs since 2003 when she moved from Umeå to Stockholm and started working as a freelancing singer and musician.
It’s about 10 tracks of country pop, where you can listen to the first single from the album, “Follow the Road”, here below.
You can read more about Emma on her site.
Another Nation’s National Anthem is back again with a new EP, “Conscious Castle”. Compared to the single “Save Them From Sorrow”, which they released in spring, it feels bigger, more dreamy and deeper, both when it comes to the lyrics as well as the music. And there is a theme to it all, which they describe like this:
Imagine going fifty years back in time; Sweden is the wondrous “folkhemmet” (the people’s home), a welfare state driven by bureaucrats redistributing the wealth so that all may enjoy equal opportunity and prosperity. Imagine then that this welfare state is eroded through the mechanism of globalization; imagine these bureaucrats seeing their means of power no longer working. Imagine the powerless bureaucrat.
