Pleasantly enough for us who like the indie rock band Obliq, they say they are going to release a new album in January, the first one since the debut four years ago. But you don’t have to wait that long to taste the album; last month they released two singles and you can hear and watch one of them here below, “Ahead of Time”.

Obliq, which we wrote about a little more than a year ago, have made a series of live studio recordings, from both earlier songs as well as new ones. They filmed the sessions and plan to release a video every month.
Here are “We Come From the Stars”, featuring Annelie, to listen to and download. And below, the latest video, “The Loneliest Figure”. Go to Obliq’s Youtube channel to follow them.
The Loneliest Figure:
Obliq is an exciting band from Göteborg, and it’s rather hard to compare them directly with other bands. If I would try to describe them somehow I would say that it’s the melancholy from Kent that meets Radiohead with a little of Broder Daniel and upon this some electronica. The Radiohead -likeness is helped also by the similarities between the vocals of the singer Anders Lagerfors and Thom Yorke.
It’s dreamy and mellow, interesting melodies and songs that sometimes breaks out in grand Coldplay-like sceneries.
Last spring they released their debut album “Antenna” (Conelove Records, Thomason Sounds), from where the tracks below come. This autumn they have recorded a new single, produced by Matt Kent (Massive Attack, Neneh Cherry, Portishead et al) which will be released in February next year. And I’m happy to tell you that they have promised to share the single with us here at Meadowmusic when it’s ready. After the single release awaits a tour around Europe.
