Sweden's Very Own Simon And Garfunkel
As far as music comparisons go, the likening of Swedish indie singer/songwriter Tobias Froberg to Simon and Garfunkel is so spot on you find yourself examining the CD case and starting to question whether the duo ever really parted ways or if they instead moved to Sweden and simply changed their name. In the end though when music sounds this relaxed and inspiring why question it?
Having gained recognition after his music was picked up by Panasonic for a TV ad, Froberg is steadily gaining prominence as his blend of folksy 60s tinged West Coast Americana seductively ease their way out of the stereo. Gracefully laid back and chilled to perfection, 'God's Highway' could have been plucked straight out of the 1960s as its bittersweet and thought provoking lyrics mould effortlessly with Froberg's captivatingly expressive voice, revealing a comforting and reassuring soundscape that almost embraces you. The ideal song to unwind to leaving you to simply allow Froberg to take you away from the stresses of the modern world.
