Here’s a new single from Little Children, “Song #4”, a song that precedes the new EP “Traveling Through Darkness” which will be released on the 2nd of June. It’s a beautifully sad story with a fateful, filmic ambience where we ride across the prairie on our bikes towards the sunset.

“Wolves” is the name of the debut single from “Ash & Iron”, a project started by the Malmö musician John Berneli. By his side you find the drummer Petter Bengtsson (Case Conrad) and the idea is to eventually build a band around the two of them. The music sounds of Americana, or folk rock, with a dreamy shimmer over the sound and a touch of epic storytelling.

About a year ago I presented the band The Mondanes, hailing from Göteborg, performing their song “Silver Spoon” in an acoustic session. Now they have produced some studio tracks also and present them on the new EP “Freeze Out”; five tracks with an enjoyable mix of Americana an indiepop. It all starts a bit cautiously with the song “Atlantic Sea” which never really takes off and then “Out On a Limb” which certainly picks up the pace but lacks luster and energy enough to make me get carried away. The three remaining songs, though, more than compensate for the start. Here’s life, warmth, passion and the band is glowing. “Silver Spoon”, which makes me think of the Byrds, is lifted even higher compared with the acoustic session and is full of personality, tension and sensitivity. “Jenny Say (Why Did You Move Away)” is top notch uplifting indiepop which probable will make Jenny move back home right away, and the finishing song “Violet Gun”, maybe the best song, is a tastefully dynamic indie with a sticky chorus. Here are two of the songs:
