Sweden’s Bolywool to Release ‘Hymnals & Bombs’ LP

On March 2nd Bolywool will release their new album 'Hymnals & Bombs'. Consisting of 14 songs in total, the album is a dreamy wave of moody rhythms and cinematic soundscapes which feels like a sonic representation of a brisk Swedish winter. Layered vocals act as dominant elements in songs such as 'Love Meander', where ethereal synths are simply a supporting foundation. Swimming in a certain beauty within the arrangements are also tones of melancholy which are highlighted in tracks such as 'Glorious Failure' and 'Hinterland'. Throughout the ride of 'Hymnals & Bombs', it feels like the ending will result in an enlightenment. Whatever the intent, it is evident that Bolywool are aiming at specific emotions rather than a soundtrack to keep you dancing, and this is actually a part of the magic.
