Alice Boman, hailing from Malmö, Sweden, has managed to put together a collection of songs so emotionally honest and fragile that she’s made the world stop. That is exactly what the folks at Adrian recordings felt when they first heard her, and that is exactly how I feel now.
Her Skisser EP, which appropriately means “sketches” in Swedish, were only ever meant to be personal reminders to herself, which is why the songs stand before you with no pretence, and no production. They even still have the hisses and pops of the original tapes.
Hat tip to Ja Ja Ja for being on the money back in May.
