A little more than a month ago Emerald Park released the album "Absolute Zero", the third one since they started in 2002. It's been four years since the last time and one would expect some changes in the music. And there is, quite a few, which they signalled with their single "Reality Bites" last year. It's more naked, happier, more tounge-in-cheek, more romantic and nostalgic and the entire production feels more spontaneous. They show their love for good pop melodies, which isn't anything new to them, but it feels, well, more relaxed. I notice the americana influences in [...]
Has to be match-up post title of the year? Anyway...three real interesting albums (one of them as a CD, which is pretty rare these days) arrived in the mailbox this weekend and it's my intention to spend some time (a lot of time actually) today, and probably tomorrow as well, giving them quite a few listens. I sort of expect all three of them to be worth the time and effort. In case you're wondering or interested these are the albums (will add some thoughts on each album during the day): Emerald Park [...]
Emerald Park's new video for "A Beautiful Mourning" from the upcoming album "Absolute Zero". The video was shot in Nice, France with an iPhone.

Sweden's Emerald Park has posted a brilliant new track Things for streaming. Slightly Joy Division inspired me thinks and really not sounding like anything on the debut , though it's been a while since I listened to that one. From the band's sophomore album Absolute Zero which will be out March 30. Things [...]
![[afm125] Emerald Park - Slow 2004 - 2005 (EP)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3422771_lg.jpg)
The four songs on the "Slow 2004-2005" compilation are taken from "Sadness Within" (2004) and the single "My Star" (2005). Emerald Park was at that time a completely different band, with different band members and a different musical preference. During the recording of "Sadness Within" the guys listened to bands such as Wilco, Jayhawks and Calexico. After the release of the record they wanted to find something else. They wanted the sounds to be lighter and more playful. More pop. Slow Swimming in the Rain My Star [...]
While waiting for a new album from Emerald Park we can now listen to their new single "Reality Bites". Two great songs, with a somewhat new sound, where the acoustic guitars play a bigger part and everything feels more direct in a way. Their great sense of melodies are there as before and with a hint of folk vibes I almost feel like joining the choir as I listen. You can listen to the songs on Spotify or on Bandcamp , and if you haven't listened to the excellent last album [...]
A little more than a year ago Daniel Jönsson, guitarist in Emerald Park, released a solo album under the name Danish Daycare . Last month the singer in the same band, Tobias Borelius , released his debut album, "Du känner mig för väl, farväl", a project that he's been working on for a couple of years. And we get to hear Tobias in a completely new context; he's singing in Swedish and the sound is created with analogue synth sounds, assisted by acoustic guitars and piano, a sound created together with the producer Carl [...]
A teaser for the new solo album from Tobias Borelius of Emerald Park Tobias Borelius from Emerald Park (Malmö, Sweden) has recorded a solo album with Swedish lyrics. "Du känner mig för väl, farväl" ("You know me too well, goodbye") is a musical tapas table - small pithy and tasty songs spiced with humor, love, earnest and cynicism. The musical theme of the record is the old analog synthesizers, the Nord Lead and the acoustic guitar. Where Emerald Park sometimes goes against the great and lengthy, Tobias solo songs is short and intimate. The [...]

Daniel Jönsson started to work with his project Danish Daycare already in 2005, but the following years were occupied with his involvement in Emerald Park , as a keyboard player and guitarist. But last year he spent the time necessary to complete the production of the album "A Story of Hurt", which was released in the late autumn of 2009. I can find references to indie bands of the nineties and the 00-ties, but above all I get a lot of eighties feelings from this record. Well, in the sound and the ambience in itself [...]

Blogger has been busy deleting music blogs and the debate rages on . Cannot say I'm a huge fan of these actions, but there are indeed some blogs that deserve all the shit they are (and hopefully will be) getting! Tetris = Therapy has finished recording their debut album Acquaintances and two preview tracks are free to download . The band is still working on the artwork and more importantly on how to release the album. Be it digitally or on CD, [...]
