Forest Swords

Everything about the new one from Forest Swords is just right. This comes along with news of the planned release of his debut album, set for next month (August 26th to be precise) - no pressure to the guy, but it sounds like the majority of the musical internet (including myself) is super hyped about the the news. Listen to The Weight of Gold below:

It seems like Matthias Kanik's project ghostandthesong already did the whole blogging circuit thing a couple of months back but somehow I completely missed it. So I was pretty pleased to find a message about it in my inbox today cause otherwise I'd have been out of the loop on some pretty great music. His latest EP is called Escapes and is out via the brilliant Bad Panda Records. It's nice and poppy with a pretty experimental edge - surrealistic-pop I guess? It's a really interesting example of the lesser known music scene in Berlin at the moment too. Playing below is the equally surreal video to my favourite cut from the EP 'Ou Inme'.

The whole EP is freely available to download by clicking here.
