No, it’s not a headline from the evening papers (Family Reunion and Death Homicide). It’s actually two artists that call their solo projects  Släktträff and Dödsmord respectively, and who have choses to release a split-EP together. The EP is called “Till allt som varit dött” and can be heard on Soundcloud. And their music do fit together well, with Släktträff’s instrumental music and Dödsmord’s lo-fi indie. You can listen to a song from both artists here below.

Släktträff was started by Alexander Sjöstedt in 2008 and has so far released two albums and an EP, which you can listen to on Spotify. You can also find Släktträff  on Facebook and on Soundcloud.

Dödsmord has been around since 2009 directed by Oskar Östby. He says that it’s “an attempt to test and show if  the beautiful can be that disgusting ugly, and the ugly to be the most beautiful.” Follow Dödsmord on Facebook and on Soundcloud.

Today, two days after the horrible events in Norway, it’s hard to do anything without being reminded of what happened. And words are not enough, they don’t help. Maybe music can help us deal with it as a refuge for our thoughts and feelings. I, for one, like to listen to music without words in situations like this.

Here are a couple of tracks from “Ack du arma barn”, a new album with Släktträff.
