I've been wanting to tell you about my latest discovery for a couple of days now. The swedish rock trio El Madrigal. Seriously, you have to hear them out!
El Madrigal consists of Ola Karlsson, Tomas Sundin and Eric Lindström who has been playing together since May 2010. El Madrigal has this pure, stripped-down, bluesy rock sound that I constantly find myself searching for. The trio get their inspiration from bands like Neil Young & the Crazy Horse, Wilco and true blues heroes like Robert Johnson and Howling Wolf and being a trio was a very conscious choice:
"We like the air, the space and the dynamics that occurs, and is quite easy to obtain, when you're only three. We have all played in bands with a large number of members earlier, such as The Hi De Hos, and therefore, we wanted to explore a more stripped-down sound." (freely translated by yours truly)
For the moment Ola Karlsson is in Australia touring with his other band, The Gin Club (more about them in another blogpost in time) but the band promises that as soon as he comes home again, they will start playing live and finish the recordings of the upcoming EP. Until then:
