Isabel Rumble– Hold Everything Lightly

“The songs that make up my 2nd album are the most raw and honest I have written”, Isabel Rumble says. “This record is a return to the stillness at the centre of it all, and to the simplicity of the heart’s voice”. More information at Hemifran.

Catcher Evo– Charcoal

This is the debut EP by Swedish singer, musician and songwriter Stefan Leoson’s new americana project, Catcher Evo. The project marks the 1st time Leoson has incorporated his love of the musical melting pot that can be summed up as ‘americana’, rootsy, storytelling and guitar based songs incorporating influences from both country, rock and folk music.

The Grand Undoing– Aventurine

The Grand Undoing’s 1st single from the forthcoming album is a study in both how big and how small we are at the same time. There’s a bit of floating in helplessness, or disconnecting from one’s own power in lines like “the sergeant at arms is wasted and sleeping”. More information at Hemifran.

Jesper Lindell– If Love Was Money

“We had a 3 day drive from Boston down to Muscle Shoals and were still looking for songs to record. The closer we got to Alabama, the more I realized that I kept returning to songs written by Dan Penn. We started listening to his solo album from 1972, which I had not known before, and I fell completely in love. I could have recorded almost every song from that album, but the last track, ‘If Love Was Money’, felt like something me and the band could really have fun with.” ~ Jesper Lindell.

Brock Davis– Nothing Last Forever

It’s one thing to write an album, it’s another to live the stories and messages you’re writing about. When singer songwriter Brock Davis penned this album, he was searching for meaning as a songwriter. But as the mixing process began, a sudden health scare cast the album’s sentiments in a startling new light. More information at Hemifran.

Bodinrocker– Special Blend

Anders Bodin’s ambition with “Special Blend” has been to deliver a rocking ‘feel good album’. There is a genuine desire to spread positive energy and joy with music that will hopefully make people happy. More information at Hemifran.

Dan Hellström– Naturligt-vis

Dan Hellström’s Nordic-sounding jazz echoes Jan Johansson’s folk music interpretations. On his new album “Kålhuvvet, Pop-Arne & Vadaren” he uses nature as inspiration and background when creating small musical observations of creatures and phenomena in our lives. More information at Hemifran.

Auburn– Behind The Scenes

This was a project born out of the isolation and distance of lockdown and driven by a renewed desire for human connection. Working with writers, vocalists, musicians, and producers from around the world, each song emerged from shared ideas and honest conversations. The album explores everyday life, relationships, friendships, and the situations we all find ourselves navigating. More information at Hemifran.

Palle Wagnberg – Visor, Ballader Och Lite Skoj

The new album consists of 13 songs with a lovely Cornelis vibe, nostalgic Bellman associations, steamy samba and, finally, charming Norwegian folk singing, perhaps a small tribute to the country he has settled in for good?. More information at Hemifran.

Annika Fehling– Ja Tack

The new album is an intimate meeting place between Sonja Åkesson’s timeless poetry and Annika Fehling’s compositions, where each song bears a clear imprint of Annika’s ingenious melodies, warm arrangements and storytelling power. More information at Hemifran.

West Of Eden– Lighthousekeeping

Almost 30 years down the road, Swedish folk band West Of Eden return with an exceptional new album, and for the 1st time in their career they now dive full on into the Celtic tradition that has always been such a major influence on their songwriting. More information at Hemifran.
