Björn Synneby, known for his extensive 30-year career touring the world with bands like Whyte Seeds, The Sun, and Pacific!, is embarking on an exciting new musical chapter, L’île Volante. Drawing from years of experience on international stages, his latest project promises a fresh perspective while maintaining the craftsmanship and authenticity he’s always delivered.
“Sweet Slowmotion” is the psychedelic highlight from Synneby’s debut album under his new moniker. East of Gothenburg was released on March 7, and this single begins to tell the story the artist is creating with his latest creative endeavor. The artsy song structure and alien-like drum patterns emphasize the artist’s veteran experience and fearless approach to his craft, but it isn’t all experimentation for Synneby. This vocal performance subtly anchors the otherworldly elements of “Sweet Slowmotion” down to Earth. While the psychedelic undertones give the vocals their individuality, the infectious pop-leaning melodies and the longing for freedom in the lyrics humanize the whole effort. “Sweet Slowmotion” only scratches the surface of the sprawling world Synneby has set up for himself with Lîle Volante. The single balances longing for simplicity by delivering poetic songwriting with plush tones and infectious melodies, which introduces the artist as a refreshing and welcomed change of pace in modern art-rock.
