Words Around The Waist are musicians who write and play good songs. Their unique style is enhanced by explosive drumming and intricate vocal harmonies. Drama and humour are expressed in the lyrics of the three vocalists, and truth and glory are expressed in the mustache of the drummer.
Sub Luna was formed in Eskilstuna, Sweden in 2004 by Mikael Lindblom and Fredrik Sööberg.

Josefina Sanner is one of Sweden’s most prolific female singer/songwriters with over 700 written songs. When she now releases her second solo album “Love Case Scenario”, she has drawn inspiration from her childhood landscape. The result is a collection of glittering pop songs that, while being readily available also holding willfulness and exciting secrets and really touch in depth. She and producer Andreas Dahlbäck (who previously collaborated with Anna Ternheim, Thomas Andersson Wiij and Eskobar among others) together have created a minimalistic and enigmatic sound, where Josefina’s unique voice emerges more beautiful and headstrong than ever.
Since the band’s inception, they have always enjoyed performing acoustic versions of their songs. On the recent “Adverse Camber” tour, the band introduced “In The Future” and “Sacred Shape” as full acoustic songs. This went down so well that we had many requests from the audience to release these as commercially available studio recordings. Your opinions are of course hugely important to us, and so we’ve decided to go one better and record an entire album of alternative, acoustic interpretations of many of our best known tracks. The album will be called “Acoustically Speaking”.
“Arguably the best solo guitar record in the past few years. 10/10 ” (Foxy Digitalis)
“The magnificent solo guitar playing of Dean McPhee is beautifully documented on “Brown Bear”…the ideal way to relax into a chilled evening with those you love”. (Terrascope Online)
For thousands of years people have used story telling as a means to convey a message, to teach lessons and to connect to each other. Our project hopes to bring back the spirit of story telling by connecting our music through the art of the story . This not only helps make the music more meaningful, but brings significance to the message that we hope to convey, a message of love, hope, redemption and renewal.
FossilCities are a fairly mysterious NY duo (at least as far as I can tell) who make beautifully fragile songs that embody a simple purity, but harbor a deeply complex afterglow. The new Oxidation ep is a gorgeous collection of haunting lullabies that deserves repeated listens to resonate fully. The track “Stupid Things” starts with a somber acoustic guitar and sweetly insular vocals, before swelling into a dramatic climax.
