[My producer and longtime friend Henning FĂŒrst and I used this song as the jumping off point for the sound and feel of the production on Other Worlds . -- Victoria x]
We've gone wild over Dreams - now Taken By Trees is back with Large , another new track of her forthcoming Henning Furst produced record Other Worlds . It's a gorgeous piece of balearica-tingled soft pop, but the real "problem" here is that Henning FĂŒrst 's production easily outshines the rest of the track. It's not that much of a problem but I'm destined to sod every single time I hear any of these songs becauase The Tough Alliance will probably never record anything again. Ah well, as long as Henning is [...]

The irrefutable talent of Victoria Bergsman returns this year with the third album under her Taken By Trees moniker. Announced earlier today via Gorilla Vs. Bear, the album - called Other Worlds - was produced by former Tough Alliance maestro Henning FĂŒrst and is inspired by Bergsman's recent time spent in Hawaii. A quote from Victoria Bergsman about the forthcoming release, due out via Secretly Canadian on October 2. âI remember two songs that really triggered the whole âHawaiian/tropicalâ album idea and kept hanging on through out the whole process of the album as [...]
Victoria Bergsman has announced a new Taken By Trees album called Other Worlds , due this fall ( October 2 ) on Secretly Canadian . Produced by the Tough Alliance 's Henning FĂŒrst and inspired by Bergsman's recent time spent in the Hawaiian islands, the record is a beautiful, seamless union of dub/reggae and pedal steel, also inspired in part the Beach Boys + Augustus Pablo (it was seeing some of this utterly transportive new material performed live for the first time at SXSW 2012 [...]

![[Review/Listen] â Korallreven â âAn Album By Korallrevenâ](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3893494_lg.jpg)
Tweet I, for one, am loving the Scandinavian synthesizer renaissance thatâs been delivering all kinds of flavors and textures of progressive, expansive electronic music lately. From MĂșm to Tough Alliance and even DetektivbyrĂ„n, itâs evident that software and synth-pads are becoming as integral as strings and skins. Korallreven , Iâm glad to say, isnât rocking the boat. The Swedish duo has just released their new album, âAn Album By Korallrevenâ . What theyâve done is mix many of the structural elements of [...]

Oriel Joans give listeners what they expect from Swedish pop: infectiously light key progressions, trickly acoustics, and gorgeous melodies that evolve from folk-tinged whispers to grandiose hook-filled spectacles. Such is the case with "Chin Up", the Swedish quartet's new single. Stylistically, there's not much separating them from recognizable Swedish pop staples like Loney Dear or
