Weekend Showcase 3.18

Relentless Delight with its pulsating, dark drum sound, combined with Cajsa Siik’s characteristic powerful and at the same time fragile vocals invites you to join an evocative world. It is produced by Cajsa together with Calle Ekerstam and Rolf Klinth (Tiger Lou etc), as is the subsequent full length album “Contra” released in the fall 2014.

Relentless Delight

Cajsa Siik is a Swedish artist hailing all the way from Stockholm. Her music has already been included in various American shows, such as Criminal Minds, The Michael J Fox Show, Awkward, Degrassi and Ravenswood. She has also recently teamed up with Tiger Lou’s producers Rolf Klinth and Calle Ekerstam, in order to work on and co-produce her latest album Contra, which got support from the likes of NME, Clash, Vice, Indie Shuffle, The Line of Best Fit, USA Today and numerous blogs around the world, as well as making it into the playlists of BBC6 Music, BBC2 and Amazing Radio.

The "Contra" album is a great example of bringing the essence of art-pop to its full notion and restlessness. Cajsa Siik knows exactly how to remain sonically insatiable whilst still giving her listeners a solid foothold. Her soft vocals are a clear contrast to the enigmatic and textured arrangements. They fit perfectly with the minimalistic orchestration that supports her every word from the very first bar. 

"Follow You Down" is the first out of three completely new singles released this spring, and it has previously been heard in Criminal Minds and as a bonus track on the Noisey/Vice premiere stream of "Contra".

Cajsa on the track:

"It's about the time. It takes for you to listen to your own beat. It's about trusting and getting to know the fear and the guts. To learn how to trust. It's about looking at your youth with the oldest of eyes. Seeing things in different lights. Getting to know the weight of the past that made us grow way to fast."

Our remix for http://soundcloud.com/cajsa-siik ... For your ears now!

Just a few weeks ago we have discovered this incredible Swedish singer on Soundcloud. When we listened to her song „Higher“ we fell in love with the steady rhythm pulsating in the background. Cajsa’s voice is strong, smooth and easy on the ear. The captivating lyrics left us charmed and incapable of resisting to do a remix. We hope you enjoy listening to our interpretation of the song as much as we enjoyed playing it at our gigs.

Change Of Heart

On the thin line between euphoria and bottomless darkness Leo Skywell found what’s now turned into his debut single: “Leisure/Desperation”, a three-minute pop gem written during an unplanned visit to Nepal. Spending day after day on the southern slopes of Himalaya, far away from music, wifi and other distractions, the song took shape – at the same time brutally slaying and unconditionally praising nightlife surrounding him in hometown Gothenburg, Sweden.

Skywell, who just turned 20 years old, started his career as jazz guitarist. He was introduced to a wider audience this past summer with a 20 date solo tour through Sweden, Denmark and Germany.

“Leisure/Desperation” was recorded at Svenska Grammofonstudion in Gothenburg and is the first release in a forthcoming, long term, collaboration between Birds Records and CLSSN Musik.

Produced by: György Barocsai
Mastered by: Hans Olsson Brookes

Leisure/Desperation (Stripped Down Version)

Enjoy 'Nixon' the new single by Vita Bergen taken from the forthcoming album 'Retriever' to be released June 2nd via Glitterhouse Records!

Lyrics: 
So you noticed
I tried to keep it down 
Can’t condone it 
It’s just the way it goes 
There’s something to you… 
I really need to know 
Sometimes 
You’re right

So you run until the devils are gone 
So you run until the devils are gone 
So you run until the devils are gone
Sometimes 
You’re right

So the mood swings 
Caught in the undertow 
Can’t control it 
I’m too predictable 
So how should I put this… 
You’re inevitable 
Sometimes 
I’m blind

So you run until the devils are gone 
So you run until the devils are gone 
So you run until the devils are gone
Sometimes 
You’re right

Dreams were all we had 
And dreams were all we had
Sometimes you’re right 
Sometimes 

Run until the devils are gone
So you run until the devils are gone

So you run until the devils are gone 
So you run until the devils are gone 
So you run until the devils are gone

Vita Bergen - Nixon

Lyrics: 
I get impatient every day its like I'm loosing my sight
they say you wait until you make it then you fake it alright
but I wont loose
You know we're gonna do what we do best so wont you open up the sunroof in my head
live in your cave then dig your grave you'll never survive i never knew that I'd ben through it till i made it alive
and i refuse to worry
You know we're gonna do what we do best so wont you open up the sunroof in my head
Pine trees and brown leaves and I wanna sleep outside wanna clear my mind
You know we're gonna do what we do best so wont you open up the sunroof in my head
