If the last post was about a song from a film, this one is about a song seeking a film. I does feel filmic in this bittersweet, beautiful and dramatic pop pearl from Rickard och Juvelerna, hailing from Göteborg. The song’s called “Du som aldrig har levat (kan inte bara dö)” and appears like when Göteborg shows us its most beautiful face, lit by sunbeams that have broken through dark, heavy skies. The song is being released officially on Monday.
Today the acclaimed Swedish movie “My Skinny Sister” has its premiere in the cinemas. At the same time Per Störby Jutbring are releasing the soundtrack to the movie. The single “Tomorrow” is taken from there, a wonderful, ambient pop track and a perfect film song that immediately catches on.
The trio DNKL did really well with their debut EP “Wolfhour” last year, and was featured on many music blogs around the world. Now they’re back with more dreamy electro pop on the new single “Otherside”, a song shrouded in a romantic shimmer of the eighties.
Last year I hosted a premiere here on the blog with the cool noise rockers Lindblom & Lindblom, as they released their album “Sturm und Drang”. Their ambition is to release all songs as individual singles as well, and then accompanied by other song versions. Here the experimental electronica artist Sonds (also member of Ravga, Them Teeth) show his interpretation of “Strom”, together with a video reflecting what’s going on in the track. You can also listen to the original track here below. Robert from the band adds:
… another thing that’s familiar from the original song is the drum beat which lies embedded in the track, torned apart, but recognizable, and a guide for me to where we are in the song. I can imagine that someone whos relation to the song is not as strong as mine, get a more bewildered experience of what’s going on. I must say that it took a while for me to “get it”, but after a few spins I saw the structure and understood how the parts connect. Rather catchy actually. The video is almost entirely about reflecting what’s happening with the sound in the track and can serve as a hand rail for new listeners to embrace the noise.
Last year I wrote about the duo The Perfect Mess’ debut single “There Is Still Time“. Later they released an excellent altrock-sounding debut EP, and have now released their first music video. And it’s a great video too, with a story within, which we of course enjoy. The song “Wonderful Whiz” is taken from their debut EP.
