It’s been a few years since I wrote about Twiggy Frostbite. As the members have been busy in other projects the band project has been paused for a while. After they received an invitation in the end of 2013 from a festival in Hongkong to perform there as one of two international bands, the band was revived again. After the festival gig in 2014 they started recording their second album “TWF”.
The record was released in January and the trio Elin Lindfors, Anna-Karin Berglund and Emma Sjöberg had now grown to a quartet with the new member Sofia Stolpe. Together with Kristofer Jönson (Jeniferever) they have created a glistening, beautiful album with melancholic, dreamy folk inspired pop. I love this span of emotions from the gracefully fragile, characterized by Elin Lindfors’ magical vocals, to the grand, powerful and dramatic. It’s an album to be entranced by from the first song to the last. Here are three songs:

Heres a taste of Billy Momo’s second album “Drunktalk” which was released during Spring. The duo Tomas Juto and Oskar Hovell serve us 15 songs, starting with the splendid “I’ve Got You” that was featured here in the Autumn. The main ingredients are pop, blues and american folk, but that doesn’t stop them from adding some spices from for example Motown or Balkan folk. All in all it’s quite a tasteful, varied menu that leaves me with a laidback feeling embedded in a certain melancholy, whether this is siphoned from the folk layers or from the blues tones. An accomplished album with it’s very own personality. Here are three tracks from the record:

This week I’m starting with a tip about the band RA, hailing from Malmö, and their debut album “Scandinavia”, which was released in March. RA is exploring the darkest corners of post punk with massive guitars and an ominous atmosphere. This is for those who are not afraid of screaming guitars that jump out of the speakers threatening with chaos and doom. Here are two songs from the album:
