Ebbot Lundberg (from TSOOL) liked Caviare Days’ song “When the Light Is Breaking” so much that he wanted to make a new version of the song. He sat himself down behind the mixer table, and also sneaked into the choir and together they made this new remake. A quite successful one I think, where the song seems to take a couple of steps forward, has more drive and even more retro vibes á la Jefferson Airplane and their likes.
On their third record The Crysal Caravan have hammered out their own version of hard rock inspired by the early seventies. It’s easy to find plenty of references to the legendary bands of those days as well as a large dose of psychadelia and jam band vibes on this 6 track strong, excellent album.

The Good Morning Spider, hailing from Malmö, released this indie-psychadelic video creation today, to their song “Doctors and Crackers”. The song is taken from their freshly released debut EP “A Peg In the Hole”; an EP I have’nt listened through quite yet, but which I will do of course after this excellent track.

It’s been rather quiet here this week, but I’m going to start it all up again. There’s loads of good Swedish music pouring into my inbox this year, and during the five years I’ve been posting here on Meadowmusic, I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m starting today with the excellent new album from Mackaper, “Mot ljusare tider”.
I wrote about this organ duo, which now has become a quintet, in November, when they tempted us with the song “Staden vaknar” from the new album. In the end of December the record was released, and it was just as great as I was hoping for. With the new members and where the drum machines have been exchanged for real drums, they feel even closer to their roots in music, to the progressive rock with influences from Swedish folk music from the early seventies. It feels inevitable to think about Bo Hansson as an inspiration while listening, and with their exploration of different ambiences in songs with titles that speak for themselves, I get a certain feeling of listening to a soundtrack, just like in the works of the predecessor. Great folk psych, as they call it themselves. Here below, you’ll find the starting track, “Dimma”.

Just before Christmas Killerball released the single “Lost In the Woods”. The song is taken from the EP “Good Memories, Good Morning”, an EP that so far only exists as a physical CD-album. Unlike the electrified debut EP “St. Epone”, which was released in 2011, all the songs are acoustic, which feels just right.
Since the cornerstone of the band have been their performances on streets and squares, their special characteristics shows much better here and besides the new acoustic versions of the earlier songs “Forcefed” and “I Can’t Find It” they also present more sides of their music than the blues based rock they have recorded before. “Lost In the Woods” is my favourite from the new EP where they in the beginning start digging in the grounds around Buffalo Springfield in the late sixties before they give hints of Paul Rodgers-contellations and also to what they’ve done before. Mystique, some psychadelia, folk rock and really sweet.
