It’s been a few years since I wrote about Wallenberg, an art collaboration of music, images, clothes and performing art with Nosslo-Grebnellaw Aniluap in the front. Here’s a new single, “When Strangers Meet”, with a french-vibing sensual electronica.

It happens now and then that I describe music as filmic, like if it was part of a soundtrack to a movie, but it’s rather unusual that I present music that is actually written for a film. But today I have some real film music to show you with Andreas Söderström’s and Johan Berthling’s beautiful music to Lisa Langseth’s new film “Hotell”. It’s music that can stand on it’s own legs, with which we can can dream away for a little while and create our own images. Here in Sweden the film has it’s premiere in the beginning of October.

Henrik Ivarsson, whom we met under the name Morris i Motljus a year ago, has started a new project together with sax player Erik Winqvist, a project they call Angelic Ox. The idea is to let Henrik’s programmed instrumental electronica meet with Erik’s improvised soprano saxophone, an odd couple at first glance. But it works excellent, which can be heard on the two singles they have released this year, “Creak”/”Let Love Live” and “Matador”. Listen to a couple of tracks here below.

First of all I recognise Patrik Arve from Teddybears Sthlm, as a singer and a songwriter, but he has also been involved in a number of other bands and projects like for example Bröderna Lindgren, Girlsmen, Scabby Hyenas and more. One of his latest projects is Swedish Tiger where he sits alone in the director’s chair, but gets help from other musician friends from track to track.

I won’t make any deep comparisons with Teddybear, as I’m hardly an expert on their music, but I do recognise their wonderful mix of styles where musical playfulness is just the start of it. His love for reggae is a kind of foundation, but add also electronica, hip hop, drum’n’bass, pop, indierock and other influences plus a row of contagious melodies and frases, and you will find yourself in a musical amusement park with rides that will take you along in good speed. You’ll find most material on his site or his Soundcloud page: a number of tracks and also a couple of mixtapes. Here are a couple of songs:

Skimret is a solo project directed by Aleksandar Buntic. In Spring he released the debut EP with the same name; a 6 track long personal blend of electronica, pop and other influences, into something he calls dreamy synth pop. Each song is named after an important person in his life, exept the starting track “Längtan”, (“Longing”). And longing is a good word to start with when I try to describe the album, together with romantic, in a darkly shimmering, dreamy sense on this quite varied album. Listen to a couple of songs here below.
