I’ve written about Fredrik Jonasson’s electronica project Silencio Stampa before. The latest album “The Red Album” was released in 2011, but since then he’s also produced a row of singles and EP:s. A new album “Kalejdoskop” was launched in March, an album which I think takes a different route than the ealier music, and which appeals to me even more.

I’m wrapped in warm analogue powerful synth sounds with sweeping, beautiful melodies; music that breathes a lot of seventies’ and eighties’ nostalgia. He also spices things up with two smooth ballads with vocals by Jenny Gabrielsson Mare rand Compute respectively, where you can listen to the last one here below with “The Hours”. A great album and the best so far from Silencio Stampa.

Fredrik Jonasson has activated his side project Silencio Stampa again and a couple of days ago he released “The Red Album”.

It’s about instrumental electronica and first of all I get retro vibes from the analogue synths and drum machines of the eighties and sometimes even from further back from  Vangelis and his friends during the seventies. Maybe then not so much from the bombastic varieties, but rather from the ambience building kind, with sweeping, beautiful melodies and figures that catch the listener.

A beautifully built album you can listen to by checking out Silencio Stampa’s site. Here’s the opener “The Red Pony”:
