Despite the name Siri Karlsson is a duo, Maria Arnqvist & Cecilia Österholm, who, together with guest musicians, experiment with contemporary folk music. A new album, “Lost Colony”, is coming up in February next year and they write that they are slowly leaving the folk music, and instead approaching a mix of drone, psychadelia and proggressive music reminiscent of haunted woods and dead swamps. The song “När mörkret faller” is a first taste of this, a song which opens with a seductive ambience with a mantra-like repetion which is then followed by dazzling, beautiful folk jazz and finally ends in an inferno of sound. The video is directed by Anna Erlandsson and Staffan Erlandsson. Background and animation by Victoria Ercin.

Recently they released the first single, “For the Rush”, a single which certainly makes me want to hear more from them.
I should add that the third member, Jacob Douglas, released a solo album last year which I hope I can get back to later on.
The duon Lejonsläktet, Alexander Eldefors and Volter Hagman, are back with more folk psychadelia on the new single “Två”. It contains the two songs “Väderkvarn” and “Trygghetens rus”, two songs approaching the progressive vibe from the seventies even more than the earlier songs.
The Göteborg-based duo Vita Bergen, William Hellström and Robert Jallinder, released their five-track debut EP a couple of weeks ago. It’s indiepop in spacious rooms which they don’t hesitate to fill up to the brim with their own blend of electronic and organic instruments. I hear an excellent debut with smooth pop melodies and strong feelings amplified by a sense of drama. Here are two songs:
