Colleagues is the name of a new band project from Stockholm. I don’t know much more about them than that they have released a song, “Parents’ House”, which you can listen to here below. Lots of party vibes from the eighties in this pop song with electronica and quite some indie feeling, which creates a special atmosphere.
Olle Bilius was looking for a counterweight to the long tours with his band Jeniferever and to the rewarding but sometimes still frustrating collaborative songwriting. He created the project Calisota to do something entirely on his own, something that’s not too unusual for those who have struggled a long time in bands, and probably something necessary to be able to move on.
Earlier this year he released the EP “Pine Grove”, which he describes a a tentative experiment, and now he’s launched the single “Varva”, which is the first part of a trilogy he calls “Selves”, “a meditation on lives never lived, but also a celebration of the journey underway”. And this dreamy, wonderful pop song will be followed by the other parts during Winter.
I’m going to finish this day with an unusually soft and ambient song from Theo Berndt. It’s called “Blueberry Clouds” and is the third single from their latest album “F.E.A.R.S”.
The band Honeymilk recently released their debut single “It Might Be”, a song with frenetic drums and an energic indie pop that promises a lot for the future.
At first it was a little hard for me to relate to the band Kolonin’s music. Their unrestrained mix of styles and songs that sometimes feel like that they don’t move forward, in one song even to marching rhythm, didn’t go directly to my music heart. A DX7-sounding trumpet synth can be accompanied by a chopped metal guitar whereaafter they dive into a bridge with jazz vibes. Synth pop-figures are mixed with rock and overall a punk feeling, where the singer adds to this feeling with his somewhat nasal vocals.
After a while it does sink in, though, their characteristic style, where they seem to do whatever they feel like, and I can still hear it’s Kolonin. Judge for yourself here below in the latest single “Krasha ner” and the video to “Andas”.
