Swedish twosome Club 8 bring us their latest single “Let It All Fly,” a languid and dreamy affair teaming with immensely satisfying effects and instrumentals (and vocals, of course!). I wouldn’t quite go so far as to call it ASMR, but damn if it isn’t toeing the line. Whatever they used for the *wooshing* effect was spot on and as close as I’ve gotten to actually flying while sitting down.   We most recently covered them here for their track “Free Falling” off of their 2024 album “A Year With Club 8.” They’ve been around the block a couple times and, if you click on the Club 8 label below (or here), you can see we’ve featured them more than once. With a catalogue stretching back into the late 90’s you’re certainly in for a treat and “Let It Fly” is the perfect jumping off point.   You can hear[...]

Club 8, a band we’ve covered extensively (“Sunny,” “Just Like Heaven,” and “Daylight“) brings us their latest with “Free Falling.” Based out of Sweden and apparently some of the coolest people in existence, Karolina Komstedt and Johan Angergård continue to release music at a steady clip. Angergård has been in multiple bands and have released everything from bossa nova to trip hop albums over the years (having been active since 1995). “Free Falling” falls (pun intended) into the a nice little indie chill wave/dream pop niche a la Beach House; simmering throughout and lead very strongly with Komstedt’s vocals. Jangly guitars and wispy lyrics somehow feel haunting yet inviting -pulling you in with each passing stanza and wholly enveloping you in the mystique of Club 8 by the end. You can hear “Free Falling” over on Spotify or down below courtesy of YouTube. If you haven’t heard them before, definitely give[...]

A duo based out of Sweden, Club 8 brings us their newest track “Just Like Heaven” – a follow-up to 2023’s “Sunny“ (that we covered here). Not to be confused with The Cure’s seminal hit sharing the same name, this is a slow jam more so in the realm of bedroom pop and we’re loving it. Formed in 1995, Karolina Komstedt and Johan Angergård have made their rounds through indie pop, bossa nova, and dancier tunes (with a hiatus or two thrown in). Komstedt’s voice is given plenty of room to spread it’s wings throughout the track with subdued guitar and drums – not unlike a dream-pop reimagining of The White Stripes. I’ll be honest and say that I’ve never heard of this band before today, but this really scratched an itch for something that’s pure and not overproduced. It also goes to show you that you can follow your[...]
