Thread: Check out this awesome new Swedish band

  1. #1

    Check out this awesome new Swedish band

    Vintergatan will release their debut album in 2013. Meanwhile they've posted an unbelievably awesome teaser video on Youtube.



    The band springs from the ashes of Detektivbyrån, who were nominated for two Swedish grammys in 2008.

    Evelina is actually a friend of mine from Skelleftea, and lived together with Anthon Johansson from Black Bonzo/Moon Safari for a couple of years. Small world

    Anyway, you need to check them out!

    Pretty cool. A little bit like Tortoise.
    I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.

    The band is from Gothenburg, geezer. It's only Evelina who's Skelleftea represent!

    That melody line reminds me of Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World.

    Cool beans - I'll definitely keep an eye and ear out for their album!
    What if the Hokey Cokey really IS what it's all about?

    If you guys want more music in this vein, Martin's last band, grammy nominated Detektivbyrån, sounds a lot like Yann Tiersens soundtrack from Amélie.

    Hey Tobias,

    Wonderful video (music included). Thanks very much for sharing it.

    Cheers,

    Hey Tobias,

    I don't know if you remember the little boy from Scotland who came after the concert in Verviers to you asking for a signature on your CD. The very same, now not so little boy just notified me he wanted Wintergatan's album when it comes out having just listened to it. You have definetily a bad influence on my wallet But I have to admid, the tune is hauntingly beautiful!

    Uhhh...isn't that kind of the main melody to the Harry Potter franchise? Am i the only one who caught all those references?

    Sweden has so much talent!

    Similar instrumentation, and the dementors and the spell are of course Harry Potter tributes. But it's not quite the same as "Hedwig's theme":

    Excellent. I'm looking forward to this. Thanks!

    Cool stuff! And another band with an accordion, yet I don't hate it. Aranis was the first one I ever heard that the accordion didn't ruin things for me. Very clever music, looking forward to hearing more from them.

    i honestly think BOTH of them are all kinds of cheesy...

    And what about KTU/Kimmo in terms of accordion?

    Fantastic!! A cross between Isildurs Bane and XL (Finland) with a little Mum (Iceland) thrown in. Can't wait for the full release!!
