Pete Thompson (here) has one of my favorite Swedish songs of the last few years with “White Shoes” off of his debut ep for Johnny Brattom. His only other release came out on It’s A Trap as a digital only download. So it’s been a while since he’s had any new music out and I’ve been waiting patiently. The wait is over at least for now since 3 demos have been added to his MySpace profile.
The new songs are only demos but my immediate impression is that some of the catchiness of earlier releases may be gone while the depth of the songs has grown substantially. On “I Had A Dream” Pete talks about finding his way during a time that he was lost. It’s a sad song sung in a off-key quavering voice and it’s stunning.
