Back in 2015 Stockholm pop songstress Ester Ideskog aka Vanbot released her album Perfect Storm via Lisch Recordings/Sony. A glistening presentation of Scandi-pop at its finest, the LP was praised by various media entities. Making her return, Vanbot has shared her new single titled ‘Collide (Krasnoyarsk)’. Written after a trip through Siberia, the music ventures away from the sound of her last pop recordings, trekking into more of a raw, electronic front. Taking from her forthcoming album ‘Siberia’, was written and recorded by Vanbot along with Petter Winnberg and Johannes Berglund.
Touching on ‘Collide (Krasnoyarsk)’, Vanbot wrote:
“‘Collide (Krasnoyarsk)’ was written after four days on the Trans-Siberian Railway, traveling through the deepest parts of Siberia. The temperature was just above zero, it was raining and we were passing through small villages and old industrial communities. It describes the collisions and the attractions in relationships, and having no choice but to accept the raw and un-retouched feelings. You know, it’s like the poem of David Jones: ‘It’s both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so very deeply’.”
