Thus: Owls is a duo that consists of the married couple Simon and Erika Angell. With two earlier albums in their backpack they are now on their way with a third one, “Turning Rock”, recorded in Montreal where they are now based. The album will be released on the 7th of April but they have aleady uploaded a first taste of the album in the shape of this beautiful piano ballad, “A Long As We Try A Little”.

Here’s a new interesting duo, Wouie, who some week ago showed their first two tracks to the world. Pop it is, with the feet set in both guitar indie pop and electro pop, with quite a dose of the eighties’ large rooms and distant vocals and choirs. Victor and Linus are the first names of the two members, and there’s not much more info than that, but I have a feeling we will hear from them soon again.

Here’s the debut single from the band Boufa Boufa, hailing from Hudiksvall, “Canadian Brother”, a catchy tune that breathes folk and indie and which makes me think of The Alarm. Obviously they have finished a new EP which will be released any day now.

Here’s some of the harvest from today of new exciting music with two artists I’ve written about before and two new acquaintances.

Filago is a a  Swedish/French/Belgian trio who recently released their debut EP, an EP with an interesting mix of indie pop, folk and eighties’ vibes. Here’s the starting track “Funnel”:

Today the duo Dödens Dal are showing us another track, “Ingenting förändras” (“Nothing Changes”), from the upcoming record. The album “Korsa Jord, Luft, Is” will be released on the 26th of February.

The electro pop duo Rainmode have released their second single “The Foghorn” today. The first single “Buckle Up” from the Autumn made us long for more, and the band promise more singles soon and a debut album later in Spring.

And finally the debut single from a band with the ominous name Eternal Death. It’s called “Head”, an electro pop/disco song which takes the eighties’ reverbs to new heights. Worth noting is that the band’s debut came last year with the video “Eternal Death“, a video which consists of four minutes of total silence and darkness.
