  • Description

    The new album out on CD, Vinyl and Digitally on June 16 through Best Fit Recordings

    .

    Hailing from Stockholm, couple Linnea and Joel Edin, aka The Forest & The Trees are a striking addition to the canon of quintessential bittersweet indie-pop to emerge from Sweden in recent years. Creating delicately crafted songs, their work showcases a talent for combining playful melodies with the perfectly balanced harmonies of their vocals.



    Drawing on the music they listened to as teenagers, bands like Popsicle, The Cardigans and The Cocteau Twins, has driven their sound to develop precision, while retaining a balance of the carefree and complex. Such a middle ground was hard to find, so despite early plans to produce the record themselves, they eventually decided to bring in Johannes Berglund, who'd previously worked with The Radio Dept. Shout Out Louds and The Knife, seeking some necessary objectivity.

    We've been acquainted with Johannes for a few years and we totally love the work hes been doing. So we asked if he wanted to mix our single Putting Down the Gun which he did and we were so pleased with the result, they explain. It felt like he really understood what we wanted and could help us with that final push. He really works with his gut and puts so much feeling into his mixes - weve been very lucky to get to work with him.
