Track Of The Day WHITE BIRCHES
White Birches is a Swedish darkwave duo comprised of highly talented experienced musicians Jenny Gabrielsson Mare (vocals and guitars) and Fredrik Jonasson (synths), both with already solo projects under their belt.
‘Howl’ is the new single from the forthcoming yet untitled sophomore album on Progress Productions.
Both big fans of Kate Bush, the pair revisit, with utmost skill and personality, the cold and ethereal sound of the mid-80s period 4AD and the new wave sound of bands such as Ultravox, combined with a touch of Lynch / Badalamenti magic and the Scandinavian dark electro-pop sensibility of The Knife.
If their 2015 debut full-length ‘Dark Waters’ was a surprising and more than promising debut, this compelling new single couldn’t be a better foretaste of more ‘black pearls’ we need to soothe and delight our haunted, cold souls. Definitely, a band to watch!
