Ola Angleby is a quite busy artist. In addition to the duo Swedish Shoes, which I wrote about in spring, and the band Jane Gulliou, he also has a band in his own name. Different from the other projects, in this one he sings in Swedish instead of English.

Their sound is also different, here in their own mix of grand mellow pop and young indie pop/rock. But they don’t dig too deep in the melancholy, but get up front on stage shouting out their frustrations.These skilled musicians released an EP earlier this year and you can listen to the songs on Ola Angleby’s Myspace page.

Here you can taste two tracks:

Pallet pallar inte mer
Jag var inte jag

Swedish Shoes is a new duo consting of Ola Angleby and Joakim Näslund. They started directly with the creation of their first EP, where you can listen to a couple of tracks here below.

Naked and with a lo-fi feeling it’s about a guitar, two voices, some handclapping. Beautiful melancholy like in an early sixties duo mixed with the playfulness of  Beautiful South. When it’s naked like this, in the end it all comes down to the songs themselves, what they can give and convey. And I think that the duo has done a really good job here.

Listen for yourself, and if you want to here more songs you can visit Swedish Shoes on Myspace.
