The Australian troubadour Xavier Rudd has been in the business for decades releasing his tenth studio album this year. Known for his lyrics advocating peace and a spiritual connectedness with nature, the artist is closely in touch with the Aboriginal communities of the country. Between admiration for the culture, questioning of the own roots, and uplifting the culture, the artist formed is own musical style using the Didgeridoo alongside his other instruments.
With their sixth studio album on the horizon the Swedish indie rock sweethearts really seem to age like a fine wine. Although their sound might have matured and softened a bit over the past years they still know how to write these emotionally captivating little anthems that aim directly for your heart. After two decades in the music business I sat down with band leader Adam to revisit some of mine (and also his) favourite tunes from the past years.
