EP Of The Week

"The members of Faraways SWE are joined by a mutual love of 60’s and 70’s rock, fusion jazz, electronic music, folk, goth psychedelia and americana and country music. Their journey continues here....."

- Kenneth Bremer / Blue Desert -

"After an 18 year hiatus this exceptional trio has released an EP, "Decades Of Dormancy" and returned to form. This is basically an all out rocker, with some superb sonics. “Holy Host” and “Silvertrain Ride” are energetic and tightly woven. The band embraces rock, fusion, jazz, folk, goth and americana in equal doses. Basically a trio, they have a wall of sound between them."

- John Apice / Americana Highways -

"After a very long sabbatical leave of 18 years, the Swedish musicians Erik Holmberg and Tomas Axelsson have reinitiated their band Faraways SWE. With Tobias Walka on drums they have now released a 5 self penned rock songs containing EP called 'Decades Of Dormancy'. Welcome back!"

- Valére Sampermans / Rootstime -

"At the end of this interesting EP, the longest track, the intense and disturbing 'Frozen Moon', cadences powerfully with enveloping keyboards."

- Paolo Baiotti / Late For The Sky -

"Judging by the author and performer tendencies, the spheres of interest of the band members are wide. So, in their approach, you can find elements derived from the more moderate progressive tendencies of the 60's and 70's. And they come from, I would add, some 'second plan'. There are also influences of British 60's and 70's rock, which are arranged in such a way as to be associated with the approach of more renowned bands from the mentioned era."

- Branimir Lokner / Time Machine Music -
