Would I love indie pop as much as I rabidly do if it wasn't for Heavenly??  Probably, but it wouldn't have happened as fervently as it did once I heard the amazingness that is "Space Manatee".  Heavenly is just the essence of indie pop.  Amelia Fletcher is its queen. They are awesome.

Brorsson & Munther - Dark Clouds

When dear friend of Ooberus Oblivious André (of Stars in Coma-fame) asked if I wanted to share his new electro pop side project Brorsson & Munther, I was very excited.  Then I heard the brilliant pop song that they've released and I was even more excited!  Delicious synth/electropop featuring SiC live bassist Joel on vocals!  A great way to start 2020!!

Here's the bio for the project.  Can't wait for this EP!

"The Brorsson & Munther project initially started in 2016 when André Brorsson had a song idea he was unable to finish for his principal musical outlet Stars in Coma. Brorsson asked Joel Munther, live bass player of Stars in Coma, to write some lyrics for the  idea. Munther, with a background in the Swedish psych folk scene, quickly came up with some lines about glitches in the system and failing love, and the result became hooky disco pop banger "Dark Clouds."    

However, it wasn't until the fall of 2019 that the duo decided to take it to the next level and record a five-song EP, which will see the release in the spring of 2020. Combining their love for digital and analog synthesizers, Brorsson & Munther channeled the  most melodic segment of the 80s synth pop era, while simultaneously incorporating their love for classic soft rock artists such as the Carpenters, Paul Williams and the Poppy Family."
