Raindear, aka Rebecca Bergcrantz, has released a couple of more singles since I last wrote about her. The latest one is called “Prison Bed” and was released last month. She continues to grow her sensual blend of western electropop and asian influences, which becomes something quite unique and special. For this song she mentions Japanese traditions as an inspiration, which I can recognize, and I also get the sensation of Indian melodies and rhythms, both in this song and the previous one, “Museum”. Listen for yourself here below.

Last year Raindear released her debut EP “The Game”. Now she’s back with the single “Veins”, released two days ago. It’s a great piece of electro pop infused with her characteristic vibe. She has a way of playing with melodies and scales, both in the vocals and in the synth figures, which adds an oriental touch to the ambience. The song is accompanied by a remix made by WTNSS, creating an interesting contrast to the original.

Humfree Bug Art – “Hawaii”

One of my favourite bands from last year, Humfree Bug Art, are back with a new single. “Hawaii” is the main attraction,  a song the singer Arvid Jonsson describes as “a gay love song, sung by bearded straight men.”.

Sibirien – “Eld”

Sibirien is a project run by David Björk. In the Autumn he released the debut EP “Snart regnar stormen in” and a couple of weeks ago the new single “Eld”. Here he’s hooked up the large reverbs from the eighties in a fine, melancholic song, which give me a ceratain feeling of being a movie soundtrack.

Raindear – “Grown Ups”

Behind Raindear we find the singer Rebecca Bergcrantz. Earlier this year she released the debut EP “The Game” and now the video to one of the songs on the EP, “Grown Ups”, is also available.

The Jamhouse Riot – “City Lights Out”

The Jamhouse Riot, whom I wrote about in 2012, are announcing a series of three singles. First up is this track, “City Lights Out”, their own mix of hard rock and garage rock, bitwise with vibes of Guns’n’Roses.
