Premiere: Dolce - "Hand i Hand"

New, beautiful and sun-glittering music hailing from Umeå.

Autumn is approaching, which, for most people, means that warm days with cold wine in the park are long gone. Instead, the battle against delayed public transport and bone fractures has arrived upon us. Then, before the Nordic darkness completely puts the lid on us, Swedish duo Dolce delivers a last sigh of summer with “Hand i hand.”

This is a beautiful sun-glittering track, taking a tone of Beach House, Velvet Underground, sprinkled on top with a voice that brings your thoughts to Monica Zetterlund. It makes you day dream of sniffing a sunburned neck with fiddling fingertips over warm summer skin; and about all the evenings you’ve spent smoking and drinking whatever accessible, only because the sun never seemed to settle; about sleeping between wrinkly sheets in someone’s arms; of getting up, rolling a smoke, drinking juice straight from the carton, and go straight back to bed.

Anna Levander’s soft and smokey voice will take you to these kind of situations. “Hand i Hand” will be released via Nomethod on October 19. An EP is expected later this year. In the meantime, why don’t you put this on loop right here and relax.
