Taken By Trees
You know her as the former lead vocalist for Swedish indie-pop band The Concretes and from last year's Peter Bjorn and John's single Young Folks, but it's been almost a year since Victoria Bergsman announced her departure from The Concretes. She's just released on Rough Trade records, her very own debut album "Open Field" under the name Taken By Trees; able to capture and showcase her delicate wistful vocals as we know it.
Produced with Bjorn Yttling, the album takes the listener through a walk in the forest with its echoes and instrumental patterns like stones skipping water; with the beautiful combination of folk and pop; it manages to bring simplicity which is what makes this album personal, enough to open up and see the true side of Victoria.

Thanks so much Sandra. I've been trying to find some new Victoria Bergsman songs for a while.
Sadly I think the Concretes sound better now without her.

No problem Nick.
I feel the opposite, though their new album 'Hey Trouble' is still yet to grow on me.
