[album] Per och Olof – Rädd häst

acute.pop

R​ä​dd h​ä​st is a new compilation by the artist Per-Olof, which includes all his songs to date. It was finalized by him in Joakim Lindberg’s (Wy, Arre Arre, Hey Elbow etc.) studio in Malmö and is out now digitally and on a very limited CD via Rama Lama Records.

This nearly 30-minute release offers a stellar collection of psychedelic pop jewels, crafted meticulously and skillfully.

Unfortunately, not knowing Swedish it is hard to know what the songs are about, but they feel storytelling-driven and are very well seasoned by the sun-kissed and melodic guitars, folky arrangements and overall adventurous vibe. Great stuff.

[song] Melby – Music Should Feel

Today sees the release of “Music Should Feel” by Stockholm quartet Melby. It is a truly beautiful and measured indie pop piece, in the center of which shine delicate vocals of Matilda Wiezell, and the whole melody is marvelously decorated with some saxophone and sonorous xylophone.

Wiezell herself says about the song: “’Music Should Feel’ is a song about love, missing someone, and processing those feelings. Acceptance, a tribute to past experiences, and the hope for new good ones. The song came together over quite a long period, was forgotten for a while, and then was brought back to life, and got its chorus, after a lot of rehearsal and attempts at making a demo”. 

The single serves as the first taste of Looks like a map, an upcoming LP by the group, set for release on October 21 through Rama Lama Records.
