Spring Tides

Swedish band Jeniferever make music that has been described as as "lush," "melodic," "swooping," "glacial," "beautiful," "shimmering," "sublime," "electrifying" and "atmospheric." Some have compared their sound to the physical beauty of their native country, with its aural landscapes of slow-paced melodies which build to orchestral-like climaxes.

In Spring Tides, their second album, each song is perfectly crafted in a way that lends equal importance to all instruments, with intricate interplay between Martin Sandstrom's, Kristofer Jonson's and Olle Bilius' guitars, the melodic intertwining of keyboards and Kristofer Jönson's softly dolorous vocals and the warm heartbeat of Fredrik Aspelin's drumming.

Lyrically compelling and poetic, the songs deal with themes of nostalgia, loss and longing, yet also manage to convey an uplifting feeling of hope. One can't help but be moved by the soul that pours forth from these songs - from the sincerity of the vocals to the passionate instrumentation. It is as heartfelt and beautiful an album as you are likely to hear all year.
