I’ve been gone for about 10 days from Swedesplease. Honestly been having difficulty finding music that I want to post, or rather that I feel compelled to post. These two new songs from Ossian Ekenger fit the bill. The first is an odd take on The Beatles song “There’s A Place” and the second is a song about his troubled brother Ivan. I’ve written about Ossian before here and here.
One way I think about which songs should be included on Swedesplease is to ask myself if they would be a welcome addition to my iPod. If the songs I write about were to pop up on shuffle, would they intrigue me enough to keep me from skipping over them or better yet track them down? If the answer to those questions is yes than IU’m happy to write about them on Swedesplease. The songs of Ossian Ekenger have found and will continue to find a place on the iPod shuffle of my heart. They are interesting, mysterious, soothing, and odd little lofi masterpieces.
It’s been almost a year since the first and only mention of Ossian Ekenger on the internet courtesy of Swedesplease, so it’s as good a time as any for a followup. Here are two new songs from this Gothenburg based pop upstart.
