Here’s a nice piece of folk soul-sounding music from Mount David, or David Andersson, which is his real name. The song “Falling Behind” is his third single and I land somewhere in Van Morrison’s domains from the seventies with David’s light, fragile voice with a lot of soul nerve in it.

The trio Automobilist, hailing from Malmö, who last year released the excellent EP “The Collapse“, recently launched the follow-up “Beware of Hunters”. Again they manage to catch me with their energetoc indie rock. Listen especially to the title track here below.

I’m beginning a new year today here on Meadowmusic, a year which seems to have just as much potential as last year, to judge from the rich stream of music tips I’m receiving. First out is Sara Thuresson’s new single “Att älskas och älska” (“To be loved and to love”), which will be officially released tomorrow. She wrote the song to her friends’, Sandra and Klas, wedding, a wedding which was also shown in Swedish TV as a part of a TV show.

Now it has finally happened, a list-of-the-year here on Meadowmusic, with the 60 best songs from this past year. My source is entirely the music I have presented here on the blog; my obvious reference from 2013 in which I live and breathe almost every day during the year. I do love albums also, but I realised it would be an impossible task for me, to be able to construct a serious list for this in time. Maybe I will prepare myself in a better way next year.
It’s really the first time since the start in 2008 that I make a year list such as this, and I hope that it will help somebody to find new favourites that you have missed. That’s how I think when I go through year lists; I usually tire after a while, as too many lists from newspapers and others are so similar. I’m pretty certain that this list is quite unique, though.
I want to make the reservation that the list is somewhat biased at the catchy side of pop and rock, which means that instrumental, experimental and other types of music doesn’t get the place it deserves here, nonetheless enjoyable. But that’s how it is, right now, you’ll probably survive.
The songs can be enjoyed here below, without any specific order, or you can pick up the Spotify playlist (four songs are missing) here:

It’s been four years since I wrote about Moist, or David Elfström Lilja which is his real name. Since then he’s released a full length album and is on his way with the second one, which will be released during Spring. As a first glimpse of what’s coming up he’s presenting the single “Worlds Collide”, with a suggestive, melodic electro pop. Maria Marcus is the lead singer on the song as she’s been in earlier song collaborations.
