Isoberlinia

In a dark space between 80s/90s shoegaze and electronic music, we find Isoberlinia. This new duo from Stockholm has created a perfect collection of songs that sounds so good that it would be a crime not to release it.

Their soundscape is built upon atmospheric soothing guitars driven by electronic beats, creating an almost trip hop-feeling, and embedded within is a voice that’s as soft as it is enigmatic.

Isoberlinia’s combination of reverb-drenched guitars and electronic elements reminds us of acts such as Bowery Electric, Sneaker Pimps, Memoryhouse and Slowdive, but they still have a distinct sound of their own that’s completely unique.

 

”An atmospheric and humble debut from Stockholm.”
– GAFFA

“The best song on the album is the opening track Heartcage and the remaining songs follow a red thread that creates a nice overall picture. Everything feels well thought out in the smallest detail ”
– Nöjesguiden Sweden

”technically pristine and emotionally crushing.”
– Destroy/Exist

”dark and pulsing ode to the post-punk scene”
– Mystic Sons

”the reverb soaked organic vibrations make you want to pierce through. Let it wash over you.”
– Come Here Floyd

”Isoberlinia has already with single number one begun to climb rapidly towards the top of the Swedish shoegaze mountain, and if the rest of the self-titled EP holds the same standard, they will not face much resistance.”
– Festivalrykten

”Shoegaze doesn’t get any better than this”
– HYMN

”The debut EP by the Swedish Isoberlinia, entitled just like the project itself, caught my attention o the spot and it absolutely deserves some hype as the level of the eclectic and difficult to label dream pop there is quite high.”
– Łabandzi Śpiew

”Swedish outfit follow in the footsteps of Massive Attack for this brooding trip-hop release”
– Mystic Sons
