It’s been seven years since the last album, but today the Malmö duo Moonbabies are releasing the new album “Wizards on the Beach”. Listen here to some of the songs from this fascinating album, which serves us dreamy pop, creative electronica, experimental indie, beautiful melodies and a lot more.

After years of absence the duo Moonbabies, Ola Frick and Carina Johansson, have returned in the Autumn with new songs; last week with the doublesingle “24”/”The Ocean Kill” and earlier, in September, with the songs “Chorus”/”Raindrops”. Basically they are delivering a collection of gorgeous pop melodies in shifting costumes. The latest songs are more electronica-heavy, inspired by the dancefloors in Berlin they tell us, while the other songs sound more organic. I sense a clear stroke of the seventies’ pop vibes in the melodies, enhanced by my impression that Ola Frick sometimes sound like Eric Woolfson or even Jeff Lynne in “The Ocean Kill”-chorus, but there are plenty of other tendencies to pick up if you’re in that mood, from dream pop, indie and electropop for example. It’s great to hear from the duo again, and in Spring we’ll get more music from them when they release the new album.

Last month Emerald Park released their second studio album “For Tomorrow”. The album is produced by Ola Frick from Moonbabies. You can listen and download two tracks from the album below.
And it is a strong album they have created. Dreamy, grand pop, but without the big poses is combined with an indie sound. A sound where I hear an ambition to create their own sound, without the polished edges which make music boring. And the fact that the album contains a number of great pop songs with direct, but yet interesting melodies doesn’t make it any worse.
