About a year and a half ago I wrote about Olof Svenblad’s music project Teleskop. Now he’s working under the name Fallen Timbers instead, and this year he’s presented a rich material in two albums on his Soundcloud page. I think it’s a collection of great electronica based songs which grows the more I listen.

The name Fallen Timbers comes from a poem by Sylvia Plath and Olof says that the image of a forest after a storm appealed to him, with the logs on the ground like spillikin and the clear-cut areas.

Listen to the two starting tracks from the album “Our South Suburban Skies” here below. Follow Fallen Timbers on Soundcloud and on Facebook.

After four years as the singer in the death metal act Science of Demise August Vinberg switched genre and joined the electro pop band Storbritannien instead, a band I’ve written about before. Writing songs for the band has also resulted in a pile of songs that haven’t been an exact match with Storbritannien and August decided to release some of them on an EP in the solo project Höstmarschen. You can listen to the first song “Gaia” here below.

About the name Höstmarschen (Autumn march) he says that it partly comes from that the project was started last Autumn and partly because the Autumn feels special for him, as it’s the season when he is most creative.
You can listen to the other songs on Spotify and follow Höstmarschen on Facebook.

Today the band Daymare released a song for free from their new EP “Friend Fighter”. It’s the instrumental starting track “Neu Horror” which you can listen to and download below. They call the music indie-goth, which doesn’t really give me any clear associations as I listen, but why not define your own genre if you want to? There are obvious indie vibes and it’s different and interesting, and you should listen to the other songs on Soundcloud. You can also find Daymare on Facebook.

The trio Carousel says that they are inspired by the sixties and bands like The Jam. And I can clearly hear that in the four songs on the EP “Count Me In” they released a little while ago. They have a basic garage rock sound backing pop songs with hooks that you catch pretty fast when you listen. You can listen more on Spotify and on their site. They also have a Facebook page. Here’s the title track from the EP:

Count Me In

The Glorias is a young, 5 women strong band from Boden in the north of Sweden. With a clear, natural attitude they play indie rock with obvious vibes from the eigthies. You can listen to the latest EP “Stupid Situation” on Spotify, on Wimp and on Soundcloud. Fresh, energetic and good songs. You can follow the band on Facebook.
