I'm sorry, but I can't help but feel a bit left down by how plain it is.

Hey everyone, I'm back and I've got an mp3 of the brand new Kristofer Åström single "The good you bring". To say that this is one of my most anticipated new releases would be an understatement - I've been a fan of Kristofer both solo and with Fireside for a long time and he has yet to disappoint me. Of course, this song and the new album are no exception. I've yet to listen to "So much for staying alive" more than a few times since getting back into town, but this track really jumps out. It may be the second song in, but it's so obviously single-worthy material from the get-go. I must say I was also quite surprised how country it is. Just listen to that phaser-heavy rhythm guitar and the insistent drums pushing the beat. Then there's that clanky piano line chasing the guitar melody! So, so great. Very recommended of course.

Lots of new stuff added to the mailorder this past weekend including four albums from Gravitation including Björn Olsson's latest as well as the entire back-catalogue of Björn Kleinhenz. You dig that free EP from him over on the right? He's got a ton of other great stuff worth investigating as well and you certainly couldn't go wrong with his most recent full-length "Trans Pony", February's album of the month.
