Art Acoustic has released a new single, “Upp till tramp”, which is the official soundtrack for Cykelsamba (“Bike samba”), which started this weekend. Cykelsamba is a manifestation for sustainable progress, in the shape of a bike ride from the south of Sweden up north through the country. You can follow the journey on Cykelsamba’s site.

This is the first song in Swedish by Art Acoustic, and they say that it’s probably not their last. Listen more to Art Acoustic on the Soundcloud page or on their site.

Upp till tramp

It’s time to spread som Christmas ambience here on  Meadowmusic. We wish you all a most pleasant Christmas.

If you’d like to explore earlier Christmas gifts here on Meadowmusic, you can find the songs from 2009 here and the ones from 2008 here.

First up is a wonderful collaboration between Pär Edwardson (composer and the performer of the song), Johan Strömberg (composer) and Tobbe Möller (lyrics):
Let Me In For Christmas

Next it’s time for a Christmas boogie with BFM. Armed with their recent debut album they have followed this up with a Christmas Single:
Rock Around The Xmas Tree

Art Acoustic, which we presented during Autumn, invites us to celebrate Christmas in the woods:
X-Mas In the Woods

Finally we slow it down a little and go for some Christmas ambience with ad dios. The band (which recently released the album Avalon Revisited) has a tradition of interpreting an old English Christmas carol every year, and this year they have also crossed the channel and invites us to some French Christmas ambience:
Il est né le Divin Enfant

Merry Christmas!

Art Acoustic is a duo from Göteborg that combine electronica and acoustic guitars with inviting pop melodies. Right now they offer us their first EP, called  “EP #1”.

They move from the modern dance floors to the eighties sound to a more straight electro-acoustic pop and show this in four tracks you can download on their site. You can also meet them on Facebook. Here are two songs:
