Chills, baby, Chills… These songs are a punch to the uterus of all humanity… Janis Joplin, Patti Smith, Vilma Flood… This album is audacious, internal, personal, portable, emotive, routinely powerful, protruberant, bleakly beautiful, true, clear, expertly played, precisely recorded, deeply felt and extremely important… Prick up your ears and listen!
Coming out of a 2 year long creative process that included a break-up, a new relationship, a move to a new town and a new job, Swedish songwriter Vilma Flood’s forthcoming sophomore album Moodswinger rocks 11 excellent tracks reflecting that precise change. Her sound has gotten more organic and unaffected, touching a rawer vibe.
Vilma and famed producer Tobias Fröberg explore musical landscapes way beyond the folk- and blues influenced sounds of her 2016 debut album.
Moodswinger was recorded at Fröberg’s studio on the benighted Swedish island Gotland in the darkest hours of December.
Inspiration was drawn from the following artists, all tied together by their strong voices, dark lyrics and fragile, detailed soundscapes: Melanie, Sharon Van Etten, Ane Brun, Leonard Cohen, Karen Dalton and Alela Diane. The tracks were built around the pedal steel, slide guitar, big sounding drums, harmony vocals and Vilma’s vibrating, immediately recognizable voice.
