[su_dropcap style=”simple”]J[/su_dropcap]ust before the summer arrives The Land Below bursts with an enigmatic energy and treats us to some of his greatest work so far. From reworking those classic 90s tracks we still secretly hum along with during our morning coffee to this freshly finished new “It’s All Figured Out” EP.

In a 4-track therapy, The Land Below guides us through a process of dealing with loss. Losing love and loved ones.

Starting on a darker tone with “And On”, you get dragged along in figuring out on to go on, dealing with the memories with an eye on how to deal with the future ahead. Bathing in a dreamy glow, these songs will make you feel like waking up, 1 track at the time on the soft meandering synths while the serene and unruffled vocals tell their story.

On “If You Want Love”, the centerpiece of the EP, where repressed feelings erupt and break through the surface, everything suddenly speeds up, making you look back, sad, but pushing you forward, injecting you with a sense of hope.

Although this EP was written with a heavy emotional head, the 4 tracks sends out an up-lifting vibe, an embracing sound, making clear once again, that music is the best cure to all our problems. And The Land Below‘s dream pop does the job like no other!

Out via Hybris Recordings, you can listen to “It’s All Figured Out EP” via Spotify and get on iTunes and Google Play.

[su_dropcap style=”simple”]O[/su_dropcap]ne of the busiest Swedes of the moment must be Malmö’s Erik Lindestad and his dream pop project The Land Below. After releasing the last weeks some impressive synth covers of the most iconic pop songs of the 90s, as there are “Hand in My Pocket” by Miss Morissette and “Save Tonight” by Mr. Cherry, we welcome today the 2nd track “And On” from his upcoming “It’s all figured out” EP.

With a past in electronic pop bands as Cleast Eatwood and Wild at Heart, Erik knows as no other how to manipulate the synths to create his own personal and organically grown dream pop. For this new track we get gently drawn into a more down tempo slow pulsing world of survival and trying to get on with your life. With its hypnotizing rhythm the song becomes almost like a soundtrack or a voice-over passing by images of broken-up lovers and their memories of a happier past.

The new EP will be launched on May 20th on Hybris. For now, you can follow him over Soundcloud, Facebook and Twitter.
