Kent's releasing new double single with two A-sides "Ismael" and "Varje gång du möter min blick" from their latest #1 album "En plats i solen". Great double-shot with two tracks which in my opinion suits Autumn mood mostly.
"Ismael" is energetic electro-track with beautiful synth-keys, "Varje gång du möter min blick" is more thoughtful dark song with dramatic intro and rock-arrangement breathing with old Kent's albums sound. "Ismael" has already peaked at #13 that sounds definitely good for already released before album-track.
Hope next singles will be "Team building", "Passagerare" and "Minimalen" though if Kent's new trend is to release album tracks I don't mind having them all released on one EP!

Kent's album "En Plats I Solen" keeps #1 of Swedish chart second week after its debut and sure I need to give you a tips about this release if you still didn't hear about it.
This album turned to be (as it was expected from the first single "Gamla Ullevi") crossover between old warm melancholic but full of life style of Kent with dominance of live instruments and new colder electro-sound of last two albums. What is it made of actually? Nice intro "Glasäpplen" starting with acoustic guitar and Jocke's vocal growing to energetic track built on strings sample reminding previous Kent's hit "Ingenting", old-school synth-pop influenced "Ismael", Summerish The Ark-smelling "Skisser för sommaren", radio-friendly hits "Gamla Ullevi" and "Team building", synth-disco "Minimalen", classic meditative Kent's "Passagerare" and a lot of another very pleasant stuff. Well, when it comes to albums I prefer to let you judge yourself so check preview of album yourself below but remember that this is the album that you'll probably understand when you'll give it a few full listens.

Without waste of time on preliminary annoucements and promos one of the most beloved by Swedish people rock-bands Kent is releasing new single today. And when you'll give it a listen you'll understand that any promotion around this stuff is unnecessary as this EP turned to be just brilliant! I would say the best thing I've heard from Kent since "Du & Jag Döden" album was released 5 years ago. For 15 years of existance Kent received the status of the biggest Swedish favorites releasing 6 #1 albums (out of 7), loads of top-singles and masses of fans not only inside of Sweden. Three years ago band switched from indie-rock to more electronic direction on album "Tillbaka till samtiden" and on following album "Röd" released not earlier than last November. And sure such a fast next release was the biggest surprise for all fans and sure pleasant surprise. "Gamla Ullevi" turned to be a bridge between new synth-sound of Kent and more driveous and positive power of Kent from the end of 90s-beginning of 00s. B-side "Skisser för Sommaren" also differs from deppresive synth-atmosphere of last albums and being summerish, warm and maybe having some parallels with The Ark-mood.
The album "En plats i solen" will be released very soon on June 30th.
And now guess the song that is new #1 on Swedish iTunes right now.
