Hailing from Stockholm, couple Linnea and Joel Edin, aka The Forest & The Trees are a striking addition to the canon of quintessential bittersweet indie-pop to emerge from Sweden in recent years. Creating delicately crafted songs, their work showcases a talent for combining playful melodies with the perfectly balanced harmonies of their vocals.

Having originally played together in Joel’s band Tupelo Honeys, they formed in 2008, before releasing their self-titled debut in 2010. After playing throughout Europe they released their “What We Lost” EP in 2011, featuring remixes from the likes of NIVA and Houses.

In the years that followed the ennui of daily life kicked in, and when Linnea lost her job and Joel found himself bored of his studies, inspiration to write new songs proved hard to find. The couple decided to “take action and leave the Swedish darkness”, and moved to Valencia for four months, a city they’d first visited and fallen in love with when they'd played there several years earlier.

The influence of their time in the city is palpable, lending their new album a sun-drenched optimism, despite having only written one song (lead track “You’re In My Skin”) during the duration of their stay. It’s a noticeable shift in mood, and one that the duo acknowledges: “Whereas our first album evolved around escaping and fear of growing up, the new songs are mostly about facing that fear and dealing with stuff instead of running away. We decided to name the album Missions, from one of the songs on the album, because it sums it up, it’s more positive. These songs are more about facing problems and doing something about them, rather than escaping.”

Drawing on the music they listened to as teenagers, bands like Popsicle, The Cardigans and The Cocteau Twins, has driven their sound to develop precision, while retaining a balance of the carefree and complex. Such a middle ground was hard to find, so despite early plans to produce the record themselves, they eventually decided to bring in Johannes Berglund, who'd previously worked with The Radio Dept. Shout Out Louds and The Knife, seeking some necessary objectivity. “We’ve been acquainted with Johannes for a few years and we totally love the work he’s been doing. So we asked if he wanted to mix our single “Putting Down the Gun” which he did and we were so pleased with the result,” they explain. “It felt like he really understood what we wanted and could help us with that final push. He really works with his gut and puts so much feeling into his mixes - we’ve been very lucky to get to work with him.”

Julian Moon proves herself to be a formidable raconteur on the wittily insightful story-songs she has written for her upcoming debut album. Whether she’s capping off a tale of her dire financial circumstances by wryly proclaiming, “I know my life fuckin’ rocks” on “One Penny,” or channeling an overworked barista dealing with an impatient customer waiting for her “non-fat one-pump latte with two added shots of espresso” in “A Cup of Coffee,” or calling out a thoughtless serial heart-breaker in denial on “How To Break A Heart,” Moon delivers her keen observations with a genuine vulnerability that makes her work appealingly relatable.

“Pop music is awesome and I love it, but I’m not sure it’s always very relatable to an ordinary person,” says Moon, who was raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, and has resided in Los Angeles on and off for the past six years. “I can't afford Louis Vuitton. I don't go to the club and drink Patrón. I wanted my songs to come from this place of, ‘Okay, I get up, I work. I've gone to college, I'm still broke.’ I think that's something a lot of people my age deal with. We’re trying to figure out this life. I wanted to be a voice out there saying, ‘It's not just you who’s struggling.’”

Moon’s sly commentary goes down sweet thanks to her intimate vocals (think a young Suzanne Vega) and bright acoustic-pop sound, with production by Greg Wells (Adele, Katy Perry). Moon was raised by musically inclined parents who loved singer-songwriters like Fiona Apple, Patti Griffin, Tori Amos, and Sarah McLachlan. At 16, Moon asked her dad to show her a few guitar chords then locked herself in her room for months. “I learned how to play by teaching myself Jason Mraz songs,” she says. While studying screenwriting at L.A.’s Loyola Marymount University, Moon began attending open mic nights on campus, realizing that performing enabled her to connect with people more easily. She was offered a publishing deal as a sophomore and planned to be a “hippie songwriter chick in Portland” before Warner Bros. Records came calling with a recording contract and the opportunity to send her into the studio with Wells.

“There is such a magic when it’s just a voice and guitar,” Moon admits, “but I didn't want to have this opportunity to make this record and then have it be something I could have done in a basement somewhere,” she says. “I wanted it to be the best it could be.”

Like A Fairytale - Aldenmark Niklasson

"Like a fire in the distance I can see but I can't help"

This song was the first by Aquilo that really stood out to me. I was fascinated by the courage of mixing two genres of folk and electro together, to make a chilling/mesmerizing piece. It reminds me of bon iver songs like heavenly father that take a similar approach. I had loads of fun working on this project and managed to cut down the time spent working on it by not over perfecting it like usual, so sorry if there's any mistakes in mixing. I especially enjoyed working on the drop/ chorus, mixing together acoustic guitar with deep synths, flutes, sound fx, scratches and trumpets. This cover once again, was suggested by my girlfriend (she has a good taste in music and enjoys similar songs to me). 

(I do not own the rights to the song, all rights belong to song owner)

Insecurities (Acoustic Version Live at 'Perez Hilton', 2018) - LOVA

Silver Street have continued their rewarding collaboration with producer James Lewis (Arctic Monkeys, CeeLo Green, Clean Bandit, Sunset Sons).

Their newest single is a beautiful pop song called 'Reflected In Your Eyes'. 

The lead singer, Bjorn, says: "I wanted to find out what it is that makes a relationship last and grow stronger with time."

Silver Street is a four-piece indie pop band hailing from Oslo, Norway. The band has been performing in their native country as well as in several other European countries such as England, Germany and the Netherlands.

In 2013 Silver Street released their self-titled debut album. After a festival gig in England following the album release, the band met producer James Lewis who, coincidentally, had caught the band's performance. Shortly thereafter, the band was back in England to record the single While The City Sleeps. The song was released in spring 2014 and immediately picked up and play listed by Norwegian national radio station NRK P3. Two more tracks, Do My Best and No One Can Catch Her, followed that same year building the band an even wider audience through social media platforms.

Silver Street has recently been back in England to record new songs. The first one being released is their new single When Somebody. The song has gained attention from Virgin Radio Italy, Norwegian national radio and have been played by numerous Italian and Norwegian radio stations.

When Somebody is licensed and published for Italy and Switzerland to:
