After the solo debut last year with the album “The Denial of Me, Myself & I” Petter Seander now continues with the follow-up album “Til Death Do Us Apart”. Petter is mostly known for playing with Kristian Anttila during the last 6 years. I have listened way too little to Kristian to be able to compare the two of them, but it’s clear that mr. Anttila participates on the album, which may not come as a surprise after such a long collaboration.

Despite the heavy subject the new album is full of energy and playfulness. At first the similar beat on some of the songs gave me a feeling of repetitiveness, but pretty soon it all started to dissolve into individual parts of energic indie pop with a nice variation, even though the breathing spaces on the album in the songs “My Fumbling Hands”, “Turn Out All the Lights” and the finishing “This Is Where It All Ends” come in handy and feel like some of the highlights on an even and good album.

My favourite tracks have varied somewhat but right now I’d say that “Can’t Stop Me Now” and “Whispering Pines” fancy me the most. You can discover this for yourself on Spotify and you can follow Petter Seander his site and on Facebook.

It’s very easy to get caught by the music as Ram Di Dam gathers speed. Five guys from Majorna in Göteborg, who have something really good going on. They have just released their first single “Flashbacks” (Mock Turtle Music) and soon an EP awaits, produced by Kristian Anttila, who also produced “Flashbacks”.

If one can speak about direct music, then it’s here, when Ram Di Dam’s indie-pop-disco bomb explodes already in the first beats. It feels like that The Strokes have started a collaboration with Melody Club and decided to increase the pace and drop the synths. Try to sit still as you listen to “Flashbacks” here below.
And that this is based on a live act that is something special just makes it even better. Jerry is a witness to this.
