The Best Indie Songs of 2015 - Vita Bergen

There’s a symphonic feel to Vita Bergen’s Curtains (Oct’14). It's an epic trip from more than slightly sad to ecstatic. And that's just the opening bars. And the song in it's entirety too is cerebral and passionate and magnificent.They’re definitely a bit of strange on the side and they make it hard to love because they don’t put out easy. Something in the singers voice calls to mind Ian Curtis of Joy Division, not the timbre of voice but because of the searching question without an answer.

That answer is out of reach until it's right fuckin there. Curtains is two full minutes of building, introspective tension before the climatic all in. And three minutes before the joyful bounce. And it is a joy, a sublime, sweet release. An electric indie rock song with variations; massive rewards are here for the patient.

 

 

Vita Begen are a Swedish electronic indie band that have been composing masterpieces for more than three years. They are two friends, two brothers and four more onstage musicians. Curtains comes from their self-titled short player Vita Bergen (Oct’14).

 

Shit you didn’t need to know:

Vita Bergen translates as White Mountain and refers to a park in Stockholm.

Vita Bergen have been compared to Arcade Fire and My Morning Jacket by fucking lazy journos.

Need another movement? Try Run, A Picture of Before or Mirror Blind.



 
Awesome Swedes huh? Just the fuckin excuse I need to give these funny fuckers a listen.

A Swedish garage rock band with no small dose of Americana this is Get A Little Lovin' (1990) off their most successful and accessible album Blue Tomato. And it's glorious.
