CEWINEYE Acoustic Vibe (Citicat)
Cewineye is a duo comprising Angie and Johan Lindblad. Angie
recorded some very fine demo material back in 2001 as Anji the Fay; two of
those songs, Dolphins Play and Sailing with the Sun have been re-recorded
for this brand new album Acoustic Vibe. Dolphins Play is a very lovely
folk/pop number, the guitar on this version having quite a Spanish feel at
times. In the Wink of an Eye is a different thing entirely, being
harder-edged with elements of powerpop and 80s rock. Like a Bumblebee is
playful retro pop. Acoustic Vibe combines romantic pop with flamenco.
Golden Valley is beautiful acoustic folk-rock with atmospheric harmony
vocals. Sailing with the Sun is predominantly acoustic pop with a very
catchy melody. I Close My Eyes is melancholic, folk-tinged acoustic pop
with more of that Spanish guitar. It seems to me that Cewineye have two
distinct sounds, and ones that are likely to appeal to two completely
different audiences. Some of their material seems inspired by the sort of
soft rock and pop that was popular in the late 70s and 80s, and as such is
a little too mainstream-influenced for my own taste. Yet Cewineye really
shine on their more folky/acoustic material. Songs like Dolphins Play and
Sailing with the Sun have really strong tunes that won't leave my brain
days after listening to them. And fans of the now-burgeoning alternative
folk scene simply cannot miss Golden Valley. For more info visit www.cewineye.com

Angie Lindblad och Johan Lindblad är ett par som ger ut musik som är
lugn och melodisk behaglig lite kontemplativa på sin kanske specifika sätt
att arrangera och spela upp resultatet. Personligen är båda musikerna nya
för min del men ack så trevligt det blir att uppleva deras elva sånger som
finns ute sedan länge på ett album det spelat in tidigare i år.
Låtarna
kan sägas ha väldigt eleganta tonlägen och bygger upp låtkonstruktionerna
på ett fint arrangerat sätt och jag gillar den dess smidigt överförda
spanska gitarrspelöppningar och en skön frasering i sångerna. Lättsamt och
lättsmält på ett bra sätt. Jag blir harmonisk av att lyssna pa bandet
ifråga. Det är en positiv grundton i deras musik. En skiva som jag kommer
fortsätta lyssna på ett bra tag till. Just därför att musiken kan man ta
till sig, inget krångel utan raka direkta sånger som går in i mig och
stannar kvar där, dröjer sig kvar i tanken såsom i hjärta. Tänk om jag hade
missat det här.

Cewineye - Acoustic Vibe
Angie Lindblad, Johan Lindblad is a couple who
give out music that is calm and melodic soft a bit contemplative on their
maybe specific ways to arrange and play back the results. Personally, both
musicians are new for me but oh so nice it will be to experience their
eleven songs that are out there for a long time on an album they recorded
earlier this year.The songs can be said to have very elegant tone and song
structures on a finely arranged way and I like its smoothly transferred to
Spanish guitarlicks openings and a nice phrasing in songs. In a good way -
fun and easily digestible. I will be harmonious by listening to the band in
question. It is a positive keynote in their music. A disc that I will
continue to listen for some time. It is precisely because the music one can
take, no hassle but straight direct songs that goes into me and stays
there, will remain in the thought, as well as the heart. What if I had
missed this. (free transl. by Microsoft web)
