After years of absence the duo Moonbabies, Ola Frick and Carina Johansson, have returned in the Autumn with new songs; last week with the doublesingle “24”/”The Ocean Kill” and earlier, in September, with the songs “Chorus”/”Raindrops”. Basically they are delivering a collection of gorgeous pop melodies in shifting costumes. The latest songs are more electronica-heavy, inspired by the dancefloors in Berlin they tell us, while the other songs sound more organic. I sense a clear stroke of the seventies’ pop vibes in the melodies, enhanced by my impression that Ola Frick sometimes sound like Eric Woolfson or even Jeff Lynne in “The Ocean Kill”-chorus, but there are plenty of other tendencies to pick up if you’re in that mood, from dream pop, indie and electropop for example. It’s great to hear from the duo again, and in Spring we’ll get more music from them when they release the new album.
Broby Timme is the name of a new pop punk project from Örebro. It’s a one man band, but yet with an anonymous person behind, but who has revealed as much as that he has worked with bands like The Happy Hippo Family and Jonatan Lindner & Kapellet before. Three songs have been released bundled on an EP, and show us an energic indiepop with Hurula vibes and a few stains from Göteborg. Here’s one of the songs, “Hela världen är min”:
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…”
Last Lynx have just released a wonderful EP with their unique dreamy indiepop, “Rifts”, where we’ve been able to hear most of the songs before. Here’s another song from the EP, “Get Up”:
About a year ago the indie rock band Sonjagon split up. But for those that miss the band there is new hope, as two of the members, Jacob Stenberg och Hugo Johansson, have started a new project called Maymouth. Recently they released the first single, “For the Rush”, a single which certainly makes me want to hear more from them.
I should add that the third member, Jacob Douglas, released a solo album last year which I hope I can get back to later on.
