New Sweden - New album FABRIC ROOM EP presale & new shows

New Sweden is back with their first release in over a year. The tease to the lovely Fabric Room EP, "Eighty Seven" picks up where they left off on 2013's New Sweden EP. Rowdy and rockin', but still true to their Americana roots, "Eight Seven" is ready to be featured on your summer playlist.

The whole EP is a must grab. Coming out 7/15, it's seven tracks produced by Bill Moriarty (Dr. Dog, Hoots & Hellmouth, Man Man), its the perfect soundtrack for a backyard friends 'n beverages session. Fabric Room, has the same problems that all New Sweden music has, it's so incredibly consistent that it's hard to put your finger on which song is your favorite. One after another, the songs delight.

Premier Single : Birds Over Arkansas "Forgotten Lights"

Philly/CT band Birds Over Arkansas ' is currently recording their full length release as a follow up to their 2014 Behind The Lights EP. Root Down In The Shadow is proud to debut the first single from this release, "Forgotten Lights." "Forgotten Lights" was first teased in an exclusive release for a RDITS house show in March featuring BOA , Kevin Killen , Chelsea Mitchell , and Max García Conover . Finally ready for the masses, "Forgotten Lights" is helplessly watching a loved one slip away into dementia. The song starts as a mellow Americana groove, and the split at the outro introduces the progressive rock elements to bring in the lyric "the flame blew out again." This was the pivotal point in the lyrics, signifying the change from someone who was slowly losing their faculties who has now seemingly become a different person.

Root Down Is A Sometime Thing...

Tonight Sonja Sofya and band take to the stage at Boot & Saddle in South Philly along with a great line-up featuring Arc Divers and the dove and the wolf. Right off the top we have some great reasons to expect great things from this album, such as produced by Ross Bellenoit at Turtle Studios and excellent musicianship by guitarist/producer Ross Bellenoit, bassist Jonathan Colman , and drummers Matt Scarano and Jonas Oesterle . But we at Root Down In The Shadow wanted to dig further and see what Sonja had to say about the album. Here's 3 questions we had for the songstress Sonja Sofya: RDITS: What was the impetus to make a full length record and why did you pick the people you worked with? At a certain point, playing and writing as much as I was, it felt like the logical next step, but I waited for a while, trying to find the "perfect" time to go into the stud...
