The bridge between Gothenburg and Nashville is called Mejram! American roots and Swedish folk merge when this group releases their debut album – a carefully wrapped folk-pop package filled with personal stories dressed in strings, bows, clavier, percussion och rich harmony singing. After three years in the shadows, the band emerges into the sun with what makes Mejram Mejram. Four skilled young musicians, two languages and infinite amount of feeling and creativity. During many hours in moderately rickety rooms, with yellow curtains and terrible ventilation, ten songs have slowly and carefully been created, to be recorded by Henrik Cederblom in Studio Epidemin (Gothenburg, Sweden). The orchestration is wide and consists of many kinds of stringed and bowed instruments, piano, drums, percussion and not least steady singing harmonies. With personal stories filled with anger, happiness, sorrow, hope and relief, Mejram leads the listener through life’s peaks and valleys in a compact crawl-up-in-a-comfortable-armchair-format of 41 minutes.
