Dreams Precede Everything
In 2007 one of the main fun energetic albums was Mylla’s Vanya, which was released by Subliminal Sounds. On the 25th of August the same year I went to Stockholm led by a spontaneous decision after seeing the one-day psych festival announcement for Festen i Vinterviken on some artists Myspace. Vinterviken is a botanical garden in Stockholm and ...
In August of 2014 I saw Dungen perform an amazing live music set to the silent animated film The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926). The show left everyone yearning for more, as the concert was so present, dynamic and rich in good psych vibes - and all Dungen lovers got the best out of the band instrumentally. ...
I want to keep an artists name alive in this post, it's Julian Jay Savarin. Who was a Dominican-British musician and released two amazing psychedelic rock albums and besides that also wrote some sci-fi books. He came to the UK in 1962 and studied history and served in the Royal Air Force. But there's really nothing ...
The past month I got the chance to see and hear one of my favorite artists live, Cary Grace (interview with her). She's just released a live album called The Uffculme Variations and posted a fantastic live concert excerpt from earlier in May this year. Hopefully there is more she'll post on YouTube from that May concert. ...
In 2010 a drunken zen teacher told me about John Frusciante's album The Empyrean and how it was so powerful and subtle, hot John makes great guitar work that suits the music never blowing it over. He said he'd already listened through it many times discovering new sound aspects to it and he recommended me ...
I want to continue on the timeline of my last blog post, When I lost my passport in India & Destroyed Bollywood, and share some moments upon my return, when I immediately met my wife to be Lisa. I didn't know how and when I'd return from India. But my sister bought two tickets for a ...
Early this spring an appertizer was released of Skymningslandet and what was about to be released. Time went and now it was finally released by Zeon Light that is run by Joakim Granlund, or clones of him, as good music is being pumped out. Which makes me want to slap anyone with a fly slapper if they ...
Cary Grace is one of my favorite artists and a tarot-rock queen, who's hot up with a new album called Tygerland. In 2009 she released Perpetual Motion which is according to me one of the best album ever. Tygerland is softer, more like a soothing summer night. The album is also one of the first my almost two ...
Idag släpps No Way Black från duon SAW på vinyl genom Lamour Records. Musikerna Tomas Järmyr och Eirik Havnes har gjort en riktigt skön soundscape skapad av gitarrer, trummor och elektronik. Musiken är inspirerad av norska landskap och duon bor i Trondheim, vilket är så explicit i hela designen av vinylen och vinylomslaget. Jag har ...
Geiger anordnar för första gången någonsin på Atalante en minifestival på två dagar, NovFest. Atalante är en av mina favoritscener och kvällen blev späckad med en skön blandning av musik, men också grejer akterna hade på scenen. Fredagkvällen öppnade med Olle Petersson som framförde ett avskalat ljudlandskap där ljudets signal varierade allt efter hur en ...
I början av september gick jag runt i stan och letade efter något ställe som hade bra CD, för min roadtrip till Bergen. Det finns en skivbutik jag gått förbi sedan tonåren men aldrig gått in i och som alltid strålat ut färgstark etno, reggae och afro känsla. Inte för att jag har något emot ...
The biggest surprise of energy was the band from Oslo called Beglomeg. They music was an extreme danceable energetic mix of rhythms, melodies, art- and glam rock, punk, MAGMA and spaghetti western. A total post apocalyptic meltdown in other words. I can't put then in a specific genre nor compare to earlier concerts, they are ...
På säsongspremiären för Club Lamour, på Fylkingen i Stockholm, spelade det sprillans nya bandet Sprängd! och gjorde starkt intryck. Deras musik var elektronisk, rytmisk och med sköna echo-elpiano fraseringar och melodier i någon slags 60-tals garagestil. Det svängde och var avskalat samtidigt, likt en slags obekymrad roadtrip. Här är några frågor till Jonas i bandet och konserten ...
The Adventures of Prince Achmed på Cinemateket var vacker upplevelse och det är helt otroligt hur detaljerat arbete som låg bakom den här animerade stop motion-filmen. I hela tre år fick skaparna klippa ut alla figurer och fotografera enskilda rörelser - resultatet blev en film i totalt vacker rörelse. I nyanser, i transparenta moln, i ...
Last night I saw Damo Suzuki for the first time. Together with the couple and duo Lerin / Hystad, which I interviewed earlier this year about their music, relation with Damo and then freshly released album Mount Buzhou. It's in Swedish but google translate can help out very well - Intervju med Lerin / Hystad. Damo ...
Mount Buzhou heter albumet som släpps av duon Lerin / Hystad, genom Extemporaneous Recordings. Musiken är riktigt lovande för alla som gillar krautrock, psykedelia och när något är nära konstens gränsland. Albumet är skapat genom fältinspelningar från Kina som blandas med elektroniska stämningar. Resultatet blir skeva, raka och lågmält utflippade partier där rytmiken och fraseringarna ...
Strolling around the streets of Granada I found two interesting record stores, and one of them had a specific profile while the other was a bit hard to find. The first one was Discos Bora-Bora which is well decorated with tons of records, new and second hand. I wanted to bring home something local and ...
