Today Piroth continues their series with songs that illustrate the seasons. Here’s their image of Spring/early Summer, “Morgondimma” (“Morning mist”).

I haven’t written about the Swedish singer/songwriter Lars Bygdén before, an oversight I of course have to correct. Because if you have created a wonderful album such as his Americana-vibing “LB” from last year, you certainly deserve to be heard. During Spring he also released a video to the album’s starting track, “The Hole”.

It’s a rather varied record with naked acoustic songs to country to songs with a more melodic pop touch, but everything’s glued nicely together with a pleasant, releaxed and warm melancholy, where you can land in a slower tempo, safely guided by Lars’ calm, somewhat sad voice. Enjoyable. Taste here below in a couple of songs.

Here’s an excellent piece of energic and dramatic folk rock from the band Bernard et Bianca , hailing from Göteborg. It’s called “White Mountain Lies” and is taken from their new album with the same name, which was released earlier this year.

The space travellers and folk-lofi-indie-pop duo Old Amica have released the second part of “The Burning Dot”, which I wrote about in February. Here they are with the starting song “Dunes” from the five-track EP.

I’m starting this week with Highmountain; acoustic singer-songwriter pop with a large dose of american folk music. Behind the project we find Axel Högberg, hailing from Stockholm and earlier singer in the psychadelia band Lynx and Me. This Spring he released the two-track single “I Will & Above You” where you can listen to the beautiful duet with Natalie Bergqvist “I Will, Will You” here below. His debut came last year with the excellent, self-made EP “Expectations On The Banyan Tree”, which you can taste here with the song “You Can’t Walk Down the Same River Twice”.
