On his new single “Rural”, released today, Tkačuk has collaborated with the indie band Humfree Bug Art. It turns out as a fascinating meeting where they have managed to merge their special characteristics in a beautiful way. They write about the song:

“Rural is about the expectations you have as a teenager, that everything will get better with time. Leaving the small and old for something bigger and better…”

Humfree Bug Art

Humfree Bug Art – “Hawaii”

One of my favourite bands from last year, Humfree Bug Art, are back with a new single. “Hawaii” is the main attraction,  a song the singer Arvid Jonsson describes as “a gay love song, sung by bearded straight men.”.

Sibirien – “Eld”

Sibirien is a project run by David Björk. In the Autumn he released the debut EP “Snart regnar stormen in” and a couple of weeks ago the new single “Eld”. Here he’s hooked up the large reverbs from the eighties in a fine, melancholic song, which give me a ceratain feeling of being a movie soundtrack.

Raindear – “Grown Ups”

Behind Raindear we find the singer Rebecca Bergcrantz. Earlier this year she released the debut EP “The Game” and now the video to one of the songs on the EP, “Grown Ups”, is also available.

The Jamhouse Riot – “City Lights Out”

The Jamhouse Riot, whom I wrote about in 2012, are announcing a series of three singles. First up is this track, “City Lights Out”, their own mix of hard rock and garage rock, bitwise with vibes of Guns’n’Roses.

I wrote about Humfree Bug Art and their single “With Nights and Lights” during Spring. In May they also released the 6 track strong EP “Collema”, an EP where their grand style of indie pop is allowed to blossom. Listen here in “Flowers” and the video to “Back at the Start”.

The Stockholm sextet Humfree Bug Art released their debut EP “Chairlene” last year, and now they are relaunching one of the songs from the EP as a single, “With Night and Lights”. And why not? it’s a great song with an interesting sound: a grand indie pop with folk vibes, and I can hear that they really are six members. They show this in a beautiful way also in the living room-recorded “Flowers”, which you can watch here below.
