The cellist Aina Myrstener released the album “Cellomusik” two years ago, an album which received a lot of praise, and where she produces sounds from her instrument in every possible way. I missed it myself, but I’m glad I was notified about her fascinating music through her new track “Oriens”, relased yesterday as a taste of her upcoming album “Cellomusik II”. Here she squeezes out all the melancholy that resides in the beautiful cello tone in a pulsating, minimalistic tune which breathes of of mystique and dark secrets. To give you an idea of the width of her creativity with the cello, I’ve also added a track from the first album. “Cellomusik II” is scheduled for release on the 10th of June.
Nora Karlsson, guitarplayer in Holy, has a solo project running which she calls Boys. Last year she released the EP “Kind of Hurt”, and is now heading for the follow-up “Love On Tour”. It will be launched in May and as a first taste she is showing us the song “Happy Hour”. It’s a sweet shoegaze-vibing garage indie track with a dreamy, melancholic atmosphere. Which is emphasizing the lyrics about the emptiness she felt when she returned to everyday life after Holy’s tour in England last year.
I thought I’d start the day with a new folkrock single from The Bland. They have a history of excellent music videos from before, and this one is no exception. A fun interpretation of the lyrics and a quite catchy track.
Trauma Trauma is a new project from Frans Carlqvist, whom you may have heard before under the names Pavan or Limonious. The debut album was released last month, an album with an interesting sound which makes me wish for more. On it you’ll find minimalistic electronic tunes in small rooms with rounded corners, resulting in a soft retro vibe. Frans describes it like this: “Electronic soundscapes pulsating with tension and fear. The threat of violence is imminent and has created an emotional base for the work of Trauma Trauma. Music for the hunted people, to recognize and seek solace in.”
I thought I’d have a peek inside of Georgia Barbershop’s garage and their second album, which was released earlier this year. It’s called “Borough In Twenty” and is just as splendidly rough and messy as the first song from the album “Blast Oyster” hinted, when I wrote about it a little more than a year ago. Here are two songs:
