  • Flyinglow – Debut Album from Sweden's New Deep Electronica Artist
    Jun 09, 2017 12:17 EDT Flyinglow – Debut Album from Sweden's New Deep Electronica Artist Following the well-received single 'Clockwork' this spring, Flyinglow brings us a fresh, yet classic, deep, Scandinavian electronica sound with today’s self- titled album debut. After The Knife’s iconic Silent Shout album some ten years ago, Scandinavian electronica has become synonymous with the uplifting, pop-infused EDM sound developed by the likes of Swedish House Mafia, Avicii and Kygo, but the last few years have seen an increasing number of dark and deep electronic artists come out of the region. Following the release of the single 'Clockwork', Flyinglow now releases his first album. The 7 track electronic debut is a dynamic work of electronica balancing on the thin line between slightly experimental shoegaze and pure pop aesthetic. About Flyinglow Behind the moniker, we find the Swedish Uppsala-based musician Joel Gabrielsson. Joel has a very international backgound. He grew up in Singapore, studied at the School of Movement and Performance in Finland and in 2009 relocated to Ukraine for a couple of years. It was during this time that his interest in composing music started taking a more prominent role. He was particularly interested in electro-acoustic and ambient music, and began to experiment with sounds, textures and electronics in his home studio. The following years were spent fronting the drone-pop band Toys in the Well and performing venues around Europe. After moving back to Sweden, into a small cottage in the countryside, Joel began to develop a new, solo recording project.

  • Frostig-Düstere Balladen Zu Preisverleihungen Geht Karin Dreijer Andersson Nicht – Weil Sie So Oft Ausgezeichnet Wird
    POP & JAZZ Frostig-düstere Balladen Zu Preisverleihungen geht Karin Dreijer Andersson nicht – weil sie so oft ausgezeichnet wird. it Auszeichnungen kann Karin Dreijer Anders- M son wenig anfangen. Mit ihrem Bruder Olof betreibt sie das Electro-Duo The Knife, und als ihr Al- bum „Silent Shout“ gleich sechsmal mit dem schwe- dischen Musikpreis Grammis prämiert wurde, gingen sie nicht zur Preisverleihung, sondern schickten ab- strakte Kunstvideos. In diesem Jahr veröffentlichte sie als Fever Ray ein überragendes Soloalbum: zehn düstere, frostige Balladen, die wie der Soundtrack zu einem David-Lynch-Film klingen. Zweifelsfrei ist es eine der ungewöhnlichsten und besten Platten des Jahres, aber Preise dafür will die 34-jährige Schwedin verhindern: „Ich hätte mich für den Grammis an- melden müssen, das habe ich schön gelassen“,sagt sie amüsiert. Überhaupt meidet sie Öffentlichkeit, wo es nur geht. Interviews gewährt sie selten, in Videoclips tritt sie meist wild maskiert auf. „Musiker sollten nicht von ihrer Musik ablenken, außerdem verkleide ich mich gern“, sagt sie. Dass ihre unterkühlten Lieder gern als „nordisch“ ein- geordnet werden, tut sie als Klischee ab:„Das liegt nur an meinem Akzent.“ Mit Bruder Olof hat sie Fever Ray: gerade die Aufnahmen für die Oper „To- „Fever Ray – morrow, in a Year“ abgeschlossen.
