Blod
Missväxt
Boomkat Product Review:
Deconstructed medieval folk? We're not sure what this is but it's singular, Swedish and sort of great.
The solo project of prolific Swedish underground mainstay Gustaf Dicksson, Blod is a place for Dicksson to tear apart his cultural heritage and rebuild it with charm and a fair helping of humor. There's comparisons that could be drawn between "Missvaxt" and the oddball CDR/cassette-dwelling world of the New Weird America set - Dicksson's warbling, DIY styles resonate with a similar outsider twang. But the world of Blod is unabashedly European, and hinged around a very Swedish comic misery.
Each track feels like its own self-contained universe, one might dip a toe into acid rock ('Missvaxt') while the next could be a medieval flute jam ('Forradaren'). The best is saved for last, where Astrid Øster Mortensen joins on vocals for a sweet, sad folksy conclusion to a proudly weird slice of Swedish oddness.
