Last month the duo Manfred Kidd released their excellent debut single “Lights“. Tomorrow they launch the follow-up “Scatterwind”, which has an early premiere here on Meadowmusic today.

“Scatterwind makes us think about those late summer nights that are not that far away”, they write. This time they show us a rather naked arrangement, minimalistic, in an indie pop with laidback vocals and soul vibes floating on a hard driving beat. Both singles are taken from their upcoming EP “Where were you when you were us”. I think that the band so far feels unpredictable in an interesting way, experimenting with different genres, and I’m looking forward to listening to the EP later on.

Tom Levin – “Pull Yourself Together”

Tom Levin is releasing his second single from his new album, “Pull Yourself Together”, together with a fun video. I took the opportunity to listen to the entire album “Them Feet” also, which was quite an interesting experience. With the roots in Americana he blends this with various genre influences in rather different, inspiring and often stripped-down arrangements. Recommended. I also added another song from the album here below, the fascinating “Company Man”.

Weaver – “From Different Trees”

Weaver, or Johan Weber which is his real name, is releasing his debut EP on the 16th of March. As a first taste he’s showing us the Americana and country-vibing “From Different Trees”, together with this animated video:

Manfred Kidd – “Lights”

And here’s another song from an upcoming EP. It’s the duo Manfred Kidd, hailing from Göteborg, who have released their debut single “Lights”, with catchy, uplifting and playful indie. A strong debut.

Stars In Coma – “Tricks”

Stars In Coma, based in Malmö, will release their sixth album on the 30th of April. The new single “Tricks”,taken from the album, is a song that breathes of seventies’ pop, with a chorus that almost feels like a schlager hit from that decade. The front man André Brorsson writes that the album will be characterized by music from the seventies and the eighties, which also the earlier released song, the disco-inspired “By the Mechanical Urn”, suggests.
