Dreams are rarely something we can predict or control (not counting what the fuck happened on Inception). They come and go as they please leaving us somehow enlightened or more confused than before. If it didn’t sound so pretentious I could go on about how Korallreven’s music is a dreamy collection of synthesized melodies layered with soft and delicate instrumentation capable of releasing all the negative energy around you. And while that may well be true, it hardly comes to define the Swedish duo.
Comprised of Marcus Joons and Daniel Tjäder (keyboardist in The Radio Dept), inspiration for both their name and the very sound behind it comes from Marcus ‘s trip to Samoa three years ago. “I wanted us/Korallreven to make pop songs that were spiritual like the local Samoan Catholic church choirs, hypnotic like the breathtaking tropical nature and above all a feeling of finally reaching the other side, it felt kinda natural to call it Korallreven”. Capturing the beauty in nature has been a source of inspiration for many artists, yet only few rarely achieved what duo does so well. With breathtaking dream pop soundscapes that blur the lines between the real, the imaginary and the spiritual, Korallreven will bring you a sense of peace and tranquility as long you have their songs on repeat.
