Wolfschmidt – “Svalbard”

Wolfschmidt are about to blow your face off with the soaring math rock of “Svalbard.” I didn’t know what a “Svalbard” was – turns out it’s a Norwegian archipelago, one of the Northernmost inhabited places in the world… And now listening to this song makes me want to visit. Wolfschmidt (who happen to be Swedish) make full use of guitar energy – setting it off with a soaring vocal that is shiver-inducing, pun-fully intended. Lyrically, “Svalbard” “explores the duality of dreading drastic changes, for better or worse.” Gnarly.   “Svalbard” can be found on YouTube (embedded below) or via Spotify.    

Wolfschmidt – “file”

Sometimes you just fucking crush it. Good day at the office? Beat someone in an arcade video game? Make the perfect Tik-Tok? You get the idea. Swedish band Wolfschmidt decided to knock it out of the park with “file,” their latest single. Describing themselves as “nu-gaze” (elevator pitch is “cleaner” shoegaze or “second wave” shoegaze). It still has that polished/unpolished enigma feeling from the guitars and effects that any shoegaze fanatic will latch onto (so don’t let the nu-gaze name ruin your mood!).   You can hear it below from YouTube or over on Spotify. It’s a hair under three minutes and well worth your time commitment if you enjoy tracks that ride the guitar all the way through. Other than a short bit mid-track you’re gonna be rocking the fuck out.
