Korallreven
An Album By Korallreven
Swedish duo Korallreven aka Marcus Joons and Daniel Tjäder (of The Radio Dept) have announced their first US shows ever, with select East and West coast dates behind their critically acclaimed debut album, An Album By Korallreven, available now on Acéphale. The forthcoming March performances follow Korallreven’s sold out debut shows in Europe this past December that featured an ethereal light display and a few sets with Air France. A few performances will include a special guest appearance by Victoria Bergsman (Taken By Trees, The Concretes), who was featured on the duo’s lauded single “As Young As Yesterday,” which was named one of Pitchfork’s “Best New Tracks” and held a steady #1 position on the Hype Machine charts for several weeks.
The project was conceived after Joons returned from an extended trip to Samoa where he found inspiration in the local Catholic choirs. Mesmerized by the beauty of the South Pacific and the exhilaration of travel, he shared his newfound passion with Tjäder and a partnership was born. The result is a blissful journey through influences as far flung as Southern Rap, Dreampop, Reggae, and Minimal Techno, among many others. The glittering, joyful production focuses on melodic evolution rather than structure; lush, dubbed-out instrumentals (Loved-Up) perfectly complement trance-pop vocal cuts (Keep Your Eyes Shut & Comin’ Closer).
An Album By Korallreven wistfully yearns for summer days. As the cold of this delayed Winter sets in, take it from the Swedes: nothing quells the stirring for warmer months quite like the brightness of a sincere pop song.
