Seven Songs With… Solander

by

Solander - Seven SongsWith a great amount of soul and emotional honesty SOLANDER‘s new album Monochromatic Memories won the hearts right here over at NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION. We named it our album of the week and if you haven’t discovered it yet then today would be a good day. The new record by the Swedish folk duo is out these days and is waiting for you to get hold of it.

Fredrik Karlsson and Anja Linna made the feeling of loss one of the key themes for their third album. And with them together we’re invited to join them on a journey from desperation towards acceptance. And today we’re walk hand in hand with these two as they share some of their personal favourites with us.

Find out more about the selection of the duo – including artists like CAT POWER or DAMIEN JURADO – on the following pages.


SOLANDER chose THE ROCHES and Hammond Song

Three sisters singing in wonderful harmonies in the 1970’s. Love at first listen.


SOLANDER chose DAMIEN JURADO and Museum of Flight

In our ears, a perfect pop song. Always good lyrics and great melodies from this guy.

 


SOLANDER chose 1900 and Den minsta av segrar

Opening up a door to the past through a wonderful, fragile soundscape. This song led us to work with Christian Gabel, who recorded and produced “Monochromatic Memories”.



SOLANDER chose KAREN DALTON and Something on Your Mind

Hooked from the second the bass starts.

 


SOLANDER chose CAT POWER and The Greatest

 

The title says it all. Cat Power played the Way Out West festival in Gothenburg last year and she was marvelous.

 


SOLANDER chose SEA OF BEES and The Woods

 

Heart-gripping song from an extraordinary person.

 


SOLANDER chose BONNIE ‘PRINCE’ BILLY and Horses

The way Will Oldham tell us stories is something special. Also a great music video
