Rising stars: MILANO SUN lunedì, 6 maggio 2013 21:48 by madseason
milano sun - scandinavia

Being from Milano, I must admit I'm a little biased about these 3 guys from Gothenburg, Sweden. But I can assure you this is a really promising indie rock band. And here's the story behind the origin of the group and the monicker:

"It all started with three young men on an escape trip around Europe two summers ago. First stop Milano, Italy. Sitting on a bench early in the morning, watching the sunrise, they wrote their first song together; "Milano Sun". Filled with inspiration they continued to write one new song on every stop they made on their trip. Rome, Paris, Berlin, Vienna.... All songs hailing from that rising sun, the feeling of melancholy and hope you often get when the sun rises early on a summer morning.

Well back home in Sweden they had filled their tape recorded with demos and started work to finalize the songs. "Scandinavia" is what came out of that trip and in the songs the band explore their relationship to different people and places and long for past events and memories."

"Scandinavia" is the debut ep for Milano Sun; it was official released 4 days ago and you can listen to it on SoundCloud now. And don't forget to watch the new video for the title-track of the mini-album, clicking on the image above.
