Earlier this year I praised a single by the Swedish rock duo, Molosser Crude. Tess sings and plays drums and Jahn uses guitars and bass.
They have now released another single, offering both electric and acoustic versions of “Kings & Queens & Me.” Sometimes I read songs’ lyrical content; rarely do I listen to words. I hear the vocals as part of the music – another layer of instrumentation. On the electric version, I frankly did not warm to the vocal instrument. Seemed flat. However, the delicate acoustic version radiated warmth, and did not even resemble the other version.
Released on Evil Ear, I will pay to see Molosser Crude live, no doubt. Perhaps Evil Ear can organize a bevy of Scandinavian bands to tour America!
