Rls Notes
The Amazing fell far from the tree. A natural process: coming together
through affection, then slowly crystallising into a folk-rock- psych-
pop- collective slowly pushing, bending then playing with any
preconceived notions of pop. Friends first and foremost, itÆs this
kindred spirit that imbues the bandÆs debut with a feeling unlike that
of most releases öô one of natural harmony, persistent progression and
with a panoramic gaze fixed on distant settings.
Already receiving unanimous critical acclaim in Sweden, their debut
album is an all-encompassing sonic soundscape of groovy electric folk
rock, psychedelic pop and airy acoustic ballads. The core musicians in
The Amazing are Christoffer Gunrup (ex-Granada), Reine Fiske (lead
guitar wizard in Dungen), Johan Holmegard (drummer in Dungen and Life
on Earth!) and Fredrik Swahn (also bass player with Anna Jarvinen).
The intimacy permeating through the collection intensifies itself
steadily in the music they produce, take a track like ôDeportation
Day,ö or ôThe Kirwan Song,ö swimming idly through the groups twisted
melody, yet luminously anchored by ReineÆs astral guitar öô plucked
endlessly higher. Elsewhere the likes of ôDragonö and ôRomanianö forgo
interstellar for a more bucolic revelry, built upon acoustic laments
and a vocal ripple that could only have spread itself outwards from
SwedenÆs forlorn beauty.
With special guests including some of SwedenÆs finest musicians;
Fredrik Bjorling (ex-Dungen) and Erik Malmberg (Sagor & Swing) amongst
others, nothing on æThe AmazingÆ is introverted or overworked öô
everything is balanced, kept together by natural melodies, soulful
vocals and just how perfect should be. æThe AmazingÆ is a feeling, an
organic consequence of something that effortlessly came together, the
start of a quite extraordinary tale.
