Single Review
‘A Higher Loss’ serves as the harbinger for the upcoming second album of another promising band from Sweden: EMERALD PARK, founded in 2001 in Malmö, have released their debut album ‘Sadness Within’ in 2004, followed by the single ‘My Star’ and played quite some live shows as openers for bands such as Maria Mc Kee, Luna, Clem Snide etc.
If you listen to the title track for the first time, then you’ll instantly hear a difference. Other than many other well-known representatives from that country, they use not electronic elements in ‘A Higher Loss’. Influences of Post Punk, Indie Rock and a few other styles are merged to a melodically-rocking and fresh mixture, carried by charismatic male and female vocals, giving the whole thing an additional distinction. The second track ‘Ambivalence’ is another story you’ll find electronics in abundance there. Melodic riffs, fragmented vocal samples and a slow electronic beat make this a more experimental piece of music.
You should keep an eye on this band and look out for the upcoming album due for a release in autumn as something big is coming from over there again.
