Be astonished, be surprised, be amazed (by Häpna)
2005.09.21
Our mapping for the most wonderful Nordic record labels is going to continue with a wonderful Swedish company, Häpna. Records, some made by Swedish bands and some by international names, seem to carry simple – but dauntless – beauty-following aesthetics. As popular as it is nowadays, natural sounds intertwine with electronics creating light soundscapes and beautiful harmonies. Luckily these records sound honest, though. They are full of drones and whirring sounds that’ll satisfy your needs for pop and art at the same time.
My picks:
Sagor och swing
Tape
Hans Appelqvist (nowadays on Komplott)
Loren Connors & David Grubbs: “Arborvitae” (not Swedish but still beautiful)
