​Reading about music is a bit like looking at pictures of food - not nearly half as much fun as getting involved, so we scribble a brief intro to hopefully whet your appetite but strongly advise you just hit play and make up your own mind.
There's a lot of music to check these days & hopefully you'll find these recommendations a handy filter.
​Trust your ears, not opinions.

Virke - II (Flora & Fauna)

What Your ears Say & The Cover Looks Like


What We Say

Virke are back in the town with the aptly titled II, the follow up to their 80's inspired Hovsjö 80 for Flora & Fauna. Once again there is a wistful edge to the vintage drum machine powered downtempo sounds, as if they're still hankering for the carefree days of yore, as various instruments intertwine with the unhurried electronica giving you plenty of time to wallow in thoughts of endless summer holidays, first kisses & debt free days.

What The Release Notes Say

Virke are a trio consisting of Billie Lindahl, Rickard Jäverling and Henrik von Euler. The second album II is based around the same minimal concept of the first album Hovsjö 80 but with greater variety in sounds and visions.

The album was recorded in Herräng and Årsta with the fundamentals being Billie and Rickard on baritone guitars and Henrik on drum machine, Mellotrone and accordion.

Apart from the group the album also features guest appearances by Andreas Tilliander on Raagini Digital Electronic Tanpura & Taal Tarang Digital Power and Martin Sörbom on percussion.


If you want more downtempo sounds with a somewhat warmer vibe then hit play on the Slow Balearic Playlist sometime
