During the last year Hanna Järver has been a member of the bands Gazebo Gathering and Reversin, both from Stockholm, but in Spring she started working on her own solo project. A first taste of what it’s about can be heard on the new EP “Smutsen” (“The Dirt”) with it’s three songs. It’s a minimalistic soulful electro pop in Swedish, but yet so ambient and captivating, fragile and beautiful. Right now she’s in Budapest, together with the producer Norbert Lukacs, to write and record more material. During winter she will return to Stockholm to play live with her band.

It’s been a few years since I wrote about Wallenberg, an art collaboration of music, images, clothes and performing art with Nosslo-Grebnellaw Aniluap in the front. Here’s a new single, “When Strangers Meet”, with a french-vibing sensual electronica.

Here’s a fun hip hop-song from PH3, “Även undergången går över”, taken from their upcoming album “Moderna tider”. (I’m afraid that any attempt of trying to translate the title is likely to miss the target)

The band Sefyr, hailing from Helsingborg, released their debut album “Vad säger spegeln” earlier this week. It’s about delicate Swedish pop sung in the most beautiful southern Swedish dialect, which we had a taste of on last year’s single “Ängel vid min sida“. Fine melodies, beautiful vocal harmonies and pleasant guitar arrangements.

Roshambo have released their second album, “Lonesome Men From the Woods”; an album where they have found their way home to a sound that fit them perfectly. The room is larger with plenty of space for the layered guitars and their playful melodies in something that now sounds more like energetic indie pop/rock than pop punk. A good varied album, creative and with fun arrangements. Here are a couple of songs.
