I got an email from a Swedish artist named Victor Sandström with news of a new song. I wrote about his last project Sandstream about three years ago (here – song called “Teenage Love” is still available). At the time I was impressed with this young (16!) man’s take on electronic based pop. While the new song is said to be in more of a pop/rock style I still find the undercurrents of electronic beats and whirls to be mesmerizing. Maybe this type of stuff is easy to do nowadays but if so I think I would be hearing more music like this. Music that transcends genre, connects lyrically, and is musically exciting yet acsessible.
Victor is unsigned contact him at viktorsandstrom@gmail.com.
Anyway here’s the song “Departure”.
