After a couple of months of vacation here on Meadowmusic, I thought it was a good idea to get started again. I have loads of great artists in store to write about.

First up, a favourite from last year, Golden Kanine, a band that recently released their debut album “Scissors and Happiness” (Stargazer Records). An album that even exceeded the high expections I had, after having listened to the tracks they presented earlier.

They continue here on the path with a more accoustic sound, with horns, mandolins and more added to the setup, moving a few steps away from the guitar-based indie rock they showed before. You’ll find a lot of fantasy, variation and strong melodies in this indie pop/rockish, folkish, wonderful music.

On Golden Kanine’s Myspace page you can listen to more tracks from the album, and here below you’ll find two songs to listen to, the album version of “A World to Save” and “Scissors”:

Last summer we wrote about Malte X here on Meadowmusic. And now they’re on the move again with new music.

This Monday their new singel “Kamikaze volontär” (You Wanted the Worst Records) was released. And if you liked them before, I don’t think you’ll be dissappointed with this new track. It’s rock’n’roll and it’s punk rock, high speed and attitude.

You’ll find Malte X on Myspace with more music.

Here you can listen to and download the track:

Melaina plays an alternative rock that sounds really interesting. Last fall they released their debut album, and you can listen to a track from the record, here below.

It’s an ambient and emotional rock that builds up a nice sound space. A little in the direction of bands like A Perfect Circle, but at the same time with a lot of variation. I can sometimes feel a metal heavyness and also a progressive, experimental feeling that challenges boundaries.

This is music I can listen to for a long time and float along in the almost meditative rock they play. If you’d like to listen some more, you should visit their Myspace page.

In September I wrote about Sleazy Romance, and they were really appreciated by visitors here on Meadowmusic. I mentioned then that they were planning a new album, and now, finally, it’s on it’s way. Nowadays they call themselves Light in Your Life.

From this week you can listen to the entire album on their Myspace page, and the album is officially released on the 19th of June. It’s a really nice listen, and it feels like a solid album. Reflecting, soft and beautiful indie rock.

Here’s a taste of the record with the two first singel tracks from “Light in Your Life”:

A while ago I wrote about Natubella and her new album, “Little Devil”. The album is now released and the song TDG is available here for free download. Also check out the video from the release gig, where they also play TDG. They call it electRocknica….

You’ll find Natubella on her site.
