I thought I’d beat the drum for an album released in June today, i.e. Emerald Park’s latest creation “GO!GO!GO!”. Like they announced beforehand it is an album where they made plenty of more space for electronica. The result feels like a vitamin injection to the band’s music, a melting pot of influences where retro sounding analogue synths coexist with disted indie guitars, carrying everlasting, high class pop melodies. It is probably the most varied album I’ve heard from the band, and the influence from two different great producers, Ola Frick of Moonbabies and Carl Granberg, can be sensed in the songs. It’s one of the best pop albums I’ve heard this year, and the only problem I have with it is that it’s way too short.
The band Monarken, hailing from Eskilstuna, recently released their single “Staden får falla”. It’s a catchy hip hop/pop tune with a positive spirit we all could use today. It’s easy to get caught by their youthful energy that everything is possible and that the world is at your feet. This is something we of course want every child and youth to be able to feel, no matter where you live and no matter where you come from.
Max Bergström joined forces with the Irishman Dave Behan and created the duo Little White Things. Today they released the debut single “Step Back” with a folk- and 60’s-influenced indiepop with a nice soaring chorus hook with vocal harmonies.
SoLBLoMMa took the 90’s hit “Club Bizarre” and updated it for the dance floors of today. At the same time she’s turned the song into her own and filled it with an undertone of longing and beautiful sadness.
Jonas Schwartz writes that he’s in a writing and recording phase right now. This new song, “Nobody”, is complementing the music he released last year on the excellent electronica driven pop album “Xpedition”, but he says it doesn’t fit with the new music he’s working on. So, he released it as a single, which we are grateful for of course.
