The five-membered band Long Long Showers comes from Malmö and have so far released a self-titled album and they are underway with the release of a new EP. It’s a pleasantly messy alternative rock they show us, with a singer with his very own expression. Even though it’s possible to find references to other indie rock bands of today, my thoughts goes mostly to British rock and new wave from the early eighties. Listen for yourself below in a couple of songs.
Anyone For Tennis is a band I really like and that I’ve written about before. The other day they wrote me that they have released a new single, “Everything Is Falling Down”, and also that it’s taken from their upcoming album, which will be their first full length album, which I’m sure I will get back to later on.
The song doesn’t disappoint me at all; it’s a great rock song, where the singer Martin Norström takes the chorus at least a couple of more notches up in to the sky with his performance, and a song which feels a little if Foo Fighters and Manic Street Preachers once made a song together. But then they have this horn section in the chorus, which doesn’t fit that model, but which nevertheless makes the song sing.
Here’s the debut single from the band My Own Summer, “Blood Dries”, which was uploaded a couple of weeks ago. The band, hailing from Kalmar, has since the start last winter been occupied with songwriting and recording, so I suspect that we’ll soon get to hear more songs. And a good start it is, and with the bandname in front of me I can’t avoid sensing some summer vibes in this indie rock track with arena ambitions.
MLC stands for Moa-Lina Croall, an artist and author I’ve written about before, but then under the name Croall & Sons. A few months ago, she released her debut album “MLC”, an album with eleven tracks where almost halv of them consist of ambient sounds as bridges between the song tracks. It feels quite unique and varied, to say the least, with a base of electronic beats on which she experiments with electronica as well as acoustic guitars, with her quite characteristic voice on top. It’s not inaccessible, on the contrary it’s basically good melodic pop songs which makes something special of. An interesting and creative album.
The Highs & Lows is a band that hasn’t showed up on my radar before. They have recently released the debut album “Last Night On Earth” and also this single, “London’s Sleeping”, which you can listen to below. I haven’t had the time to check out the album yet, but I like the single’s indie pop with vibes of the sixties, so I probably will.
