About this product
With their ninth full-length InchThe Head & The HabitInch, Swedish heavy rockers Greenleaf have reached the pinnacle of a long evolution. The musical handwriting and well-honed mastery of guitarist Tommi Holappa, who has been a pioneer and pillar of the European stoner rock scene for more than 25 years, shines clearly through. This is perfectly complemented by the soulfulness, intuitive sense of melody, and depth of character that the vocals of classically-trained singer Arvid Hällagard bring to the sound of Greenleaf. Apart from world-class vocal lines and massive riffs with electric fuzz-power, Greenleaf have put extra thought into the themes of InchThe Head & The HabitInch, which lift it's lyrics far above much of the often cliche-ridden genre. As the album title implies, the new songs resemble symbolic short stories that revolve around emotional struggles and even mental illness. Written by the vocalist, the lyrics reflect real life experience as Hällagard works with people who suffer from problems with drug abuse and psychological health. Heavy rock afficionados Greenleaf were initially formed as an informal project by friends that were already playing in other bands including such notable names as DOZER, LOWRIDER, and DEMON CLEANER. The Swedes simply wanted an outlet for their mutual love of '70s-era hard rock and proto-metal while being free from the expectations and pressures of their main bands. Despite intentions to keep Greenleaf purely for pleasure, the undiluted joy of creating catchy songs led to everyone demanding for that material to be recorded. This eventually resulted in the of a self-titled debut EP in 2000, which was quickly followed by first full-length InchRevolution RockInch only a year later. Having turned from an on and off fling to a full-time love affair, the years of rotating line-ups ended and Greenleaf's newfound focus and stability wa

MORE THAN JOHN's debut album, O, is a deeply introspective yet anthemic folk-inspired record. Blending rich acoustic instrumentation with evocative storytelling, it resonates with fans of alternative folk, singer-songwriter, and contemporary acoustic music. For Fans Of Nick Drake, The Tallest Man on Earth, José González, Sufjan Stevens, Fleet Foxes, Damien Rice Quote from John Engdahl InchRecording at RMV's studio was an incredible experience. I was nervous that morning-I'm always nervous when meeting new people. I had met Alex for the first time the day before and was meeting Linn for the first time at the studio. The recording felt good, though of course I think I could have done better. But we wanted to capture the songs in a natural state-not too rehearsed and without too many takes or edits. We recorded for a day and felt satisfied with what we got.Inch (Editor's note RMV - Riksmixningsverket - is the legendary studio on Skeppsholmen in Stockholm, owned by Benny Andersson of ABBA, where Linn Fijal serves as head recording engineer and producer.)
'Dream From The Deep Well' is the new album from celebrated Irish singer songwriter Brigid Mae Power. Recognised as a purveyor of dreamier pop with folky leanings, this new album is a departure; a unique marriage of traditional stylings and very modern melodies; a breath-taking soundtrack which underpins her gorgeous vocal.Filled with personal tales of offspring and grandparents, the lovelorn and the lost, it's the essence of re-imagined folk music, from the traditional intro and outro that act as bookends. It's folk music, but not as we know it. In these ever-confusing and often annoying times, Brigid brings us modern folk for modern folk, with her evocative vocal, doubling back on itself with strings, steel guitar, horns and mellotron adding to it's baroque loveliness. It's waving back at her rootsy past, daubing new colours on a much-loved canvas. 'Dream From The Deep Well' is a new visionary beginning from a gifted songwriter.Elsewhere, there's the lovelorn longing of her version of Tim Buckley's 'I Must Have Been Blind', alongside a moving tribute to the late Ashling Murphy, a 23-year-old Irish primary school teacher and traditional Irish musician who was attacked and killed while jogging along the Grand Canal just outside Tullamore, County Offaly. It's a harrowing story, delivered with overwhelming compassion. In the best tradition of old school folk music, it opens up a pressing issue to a wider audience.It's an album that's politically primed and socially aware; a broadside for us all, this is Brigid Mae Power's most complete album yet.InchHer haunting voice, an instrument that raises the everyday to a near-mystical realm.Inch The Guardian.InchThe Irish singer-songwriter flits between past and present; between traditional and modern forms; between the heaven in her voice and the earthbound epiphanies of her words.Inch PitchforkA1.
