Laurel Music - Since You Have Gone

Laurel Music is a dream band. Laurel Music is also the best kept secret of the Swedish pop scene.

The debut album This Night and the Next was released two years ago. This Night and the Next was a 27 minutes and 36 seconds long journey from nowhere to pop heaven. Tobias Isaksson wrote twelve songs that really made me believe in music again. Malin Dahlberg sang with the most beautiful voice in the world.


Lately it has been very quiet on Laurel Music. The latest update on their website is from December last year. The guestbook is closed due to attacks by dreadful spam robots that seem to attack the websites of all bands signed to Labrador Records.

Laurel Music was the opening act to Language of Flowers in Gothenburg in May. I knew about it but did not travel to the show. I still get sad when I think about it. I am hoping for another chance.

Since You Have Gone is taken from the Labrador Records collection The Sound of Young Sweden. A lost song from a band that deserves more fans.
