We’re being bombarded with a slew of newschool hiphop/neo-soul - primarily from the UK - these days and I was thinking of making a coverage of that now that the summer’s here and summers basically need deep and mellow music, but it’s better left for Monday and we’ll start fresh the new week. I’ll be playing a lot of them tomorrow on the radioshow so if artists like Eric Lau, Muhsinah, Kissey Asplund, Plantlife and James Pants ring a bell for you, you should tune in at 10AM CET.

Ok so we’ll close this week with “One Hundred Fifty-Five” from Malmö’s Ljudbilden & Piloten. Released in February 2008, this is something I had to mention before delving into summermusic. Behind L&P is the talented Kristofer Ström whom we know before from his work with Kama Aina and Gregg Kowalsky. He’s taken home a bunch of awards with his animations as well as his music this year. “155″ his debut on Nosordo is a intricately woven tapestry of acoustic folk guitar with musique concrete and subtle electronic touches.

Best enjoyed with a pair of headphones, it brings past family field trips and polaroid pictures of green pastures in mind. It really does. There are bright drony songs like “Pianosong Two” taking this 15 track album out of the acoustic guitar territory into the seas of folktronica and soundscapes. Third track was found on Nosordo Downloads and then I lost myself.
