The electronica trio Blänk have released their first single in three years, “Tears Run Dry”. It’s a beautifully melancholic story, told with only ambient pads and hip hop-beats as support. They recorded the song together with Noonie Bao in a cabin somewhere in Lapland, in the north of Sweden, and maybe you can hear some of the vast open landscapes with an accompanying typical sadness in the large atmospheric sound. A new album, “Only Built For Northern Lights”, has been recorded and will be released on the 9th of March next year.
Yesterday Dödens Dal released a video to the wonderful alternative vocal song version “Måste det vara så?”, sung by Peter Morén (the name of the instrumental original song is “Över fältet, mot ljusen”). The song is taken from the album “Korsa jord, luft, is (vocal versions)”, which I’ve told you about before. It was released earlier this Autumn with seven new vocal versions of the duo’s instrumental tracks. Besides Peter Morén you can listen to Jenny Wilson, Fredrik Wallenberg, Billie Lindahl among others. I’ve added the finishing track with Fredrik Wallenberg here below.
Wildhart is a trio from Göteborg who today are releasing their first single “Stuck In a Second”. And it’s a fascinating debut song they show us, at first sight a melodic electro pop track, but which is not built in a traditional way at all. It feels rather like a short theater play in three acts, told with ambient backgrounds, an almost Björk-like expression from the singer Ylva Holmdahl and dramatic turns, careful but still confident. I’m quite curious to see what comes next.
Tobias Borelius, whom we know primarily as singer and songwriter in Emerald Park but also as a solo artist, decided to contribute to our Christmas music with the new single “Christmas By Myself”. The single consists of two songs where Tobias gets help from Svante Lodén (Damn!) and his souly voice on the Lennon/McCartney-inspired title track, while he grabs the michrophone himself on the synthpop-sounding “Tomorrow’s Christmas”. Mats Bengtsson (Wilmer X) on piano and David Carlsson (Mopeds) on bass have also taken part in the recordings.
And here’s another debut single, this time from the band IIIII (pronounced/interpreted as “Lines”). The song “People” smells of electropop hit for the radio from afar I dare to say. Adele Kosman from For BDK joins them on vocals which just makes it even better Adele Kosman:
