Alright, these guys from Sweden play acoustic music with a southwestern tinge. It sounds like they're sitting around the campfire just playing. It's very honest and genuine. You can sing along to this stuff, if you please The vocals are very good, and the guy has a nice range.
As you can see by the song titles, the lyrics deal with fisherman type stuff, and coming back into port after weeks at sea. Erik orginally posted something about this band but it was mostly unnoticed, hopefully this gets more attention.

you recommended this stuff to us before right Erik? i remember the links not working for me

 

[Krilons Resa]

this is good stuff.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

Good shit!

Me likes. It's raining outside (at last, it's been weeks), sky grey, water dripping from leaves, birds chirping... very fitting. I like the guy's deep warm voice.

 

[Demilich]

I like the kind of American vibe... and the guy's voice. Nice!

 

[Krilons Resa]

Yeah, I would NEVER suspect these guys from Sveden!

I can upload some tracks from the first album for you guys, if you want.

Very nice stuff. But I think the swedish accent is pretty clear (to a swede). It does not bother me though. Will look for more of their stuff.
