California is the latest single to be lifted from the current Stockholm long player and appears in three forms. The single itself starts in a sedate, folkish mood before synth pop beats kick in drawing comparisons to The Pet Shop Boys. Norwegian singer/songwriter Dylan Mondegreen then supplies this take on the longing and yearning Ikkje Gråt for Me, California.

California is available digitally from the band or in lossy … Continue reading Red Sleeping Beauty – California

Always in the comeback single from Swedish indiepop legends Red Sleeping Beauty. It’s like they have never gone away as this is the band at their “vintage” best complete with an intro that sounds like OMD’s Enola Gay. Apparently there is more on the way in 2015. I cannot wait given how good this is. Always is out now on Shelflife Records. Order it from here. Facebook Continue reading Red Sleeping Beauty – Always
