Julius and Elin of Monokultur have returned with a follow-up to their 2019 album, which received a lot of international praise (and rightly so). The new album Ormens Väg funnels Felt’s “Serpent Shade” through broken electronics and field recordings. Spoken vocals in Swedish adds to the mystique, although the lyrics are actually very simple and poignant. The songwriting is strong, whilst restricted in tonality. The LP came out on their own label Mammas Mysteriska Jukebox a few weeks ago and sold out pretty much immediately. Fans of This Mortal Coil need to check this out.
