The duo The Red Fuze serves a sweet, wild mix of bluesrock, garage, psychadelia and alternative. The garage is rather big-sized and is covered with a distorted blanket, creating a unique sound in which they experiment with a row of rock influences. This Autumn they released their second EP “Bazooka Circus”, from where I have taken these two delicacies .

Weibenfalk is a project led by Thomas Weibenfalk. In the Autumn he released the new album  “Sekunder”, which I’ve been listening to today. He moves in the domain of folk-inspired singer/songwriter-rock, an area where we often see artists like Springsteen, Winnerbäck and Lundell. And as an old Lundell-fan I soon find some paralells to “Den Vassa Eggen”, in the 80’s-sounding room, in the mood and in the grand choruses. With that said, the sound doesn’t really feel retro, it’s rather firmly set in our current decade, where I think Thomas has carved out his own personal space in the genre. It’s a very even album which alternates between the reflective, the soul-searching and the outbound, with comments about the world around us, and between light and darkness, in a music which simmers of lust for life.
The album was produced by Andreas Dahlbäck, who also produced Vindkraft, whom I wrote about yesterday, and well, a long row of other artists alsom, like Lundell, Anna Ternheim, Ola Salo among others. Here below are some of my favourites from “Sekunder”.
Thomas has released a number of albums where you can hear five of them on the streaming services.

It’s been a couple of years since I wrote about Joachim Dahlberg and his Vindkraft, but fortunately his back now with new recordings. His debut album is underway and he recently released the first single, “Återvändsgränd”. I recognize his intensity and his emotional expression from last time, and the song feels like it was part of the soundtrack to a TV drama. And maybe the TV drama is not that far away, as he describes the upcoming album as a concept album where he chronologically tells the story of a father and his son. Here’s “Återvändsgränd”:

I’m heading for the weekend with this new single from the UK band Mamma Freedom. Soul coloured funkrock with an awesome, cool, retro-inspired sound. Could it get any better? The single “Cast the First Stone” is taken from their second album “The Voodoo Suite Sessions I”.

Raring is the name of a new duo who released their debut single “Tillfällig fördrivelse” last week. It’s about noisy and surprisingly catchy indierock which sounds like it was recorded in a punk garage at the end of the 70’s. Listen for yourself:
