It’s been three years since Swedish one man-band The Sweet Serenades‘ last album release, City Lights. An album filled with dark synths and programmed beats – now the band is back with a more playful sound. Previous songs from the band have traveled around the world thanks to touring, dedicated fans and features in TV-shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, The Fosters and Teen Wolf.
About “Akhilia”:
“Rumbling toms, four on the floor, a contagious marimba melody mixed with 80s synths and distorted guitars. Could be the first time The Little Mermaid and New Order has something in common. This is an ambitious song that wants to be heard. It wants to be a hit. Arena Indie.”
Upcoming album:
“Akhilia” is the second single from the band’s fifth and forthcoming album Everything Dies. The second collaboration with award winning producer Johannes Berglund (Fever Ray, Shout Out Louds). Martin had this to say about the upcoming album:
“While writing and recording the new album I lost my father in a heart attack, I also became a father myself for the first time. The contrast between loss and happiness can be heard in the songs – in the end it’s a hopeful album filled with energy – life is a cool thing.”
Everything Dies is out in September 2023.
