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

Published by
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.

ColoRising Mixes 22: Sofia Härdig

Singer, musician and composer Sofia Härdig is considered to be one of the leading acts coming out of Sweden with a sound organic and raw, explosively bursting out of the seams with energy. No stranger to the music industry, Härdig has worked with the likes of Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon and Julia Crafitz of Pussy Galore, not to mention Grammy Award winning group The Hellacopters and more. In a sense the Swedish artist reflects the very idea of what a true rock star looks, feels and sounds like. Whilst her native country has maintained a tradition of pumping out pop acts, Härdig's music is experimental, racing, unafraid and unapologetic. Her visuals are performance art, something that was a staple in New York's East Village punk and new wave scene or West Berlin in the 70s and 80s.
