Seattle-born, Nashville-based Sons of Sweden play lush, layered indie rock with sparkling melodies and shimmering soundscapes. On their new album, The Shape the Color The Feel, echoes of Cocteau Twins, The Cardigans, and early U2 can be heard in songs that explore the darker moods and brighter vistas of Spoon, Interpol, and Phantogram. The high intensity single “Blue Hotel” is fast becoming a radio favorite, charting CMJ and Triple A stations alike, pioneered by Nashville’s own Lightning 100.

In 2013, the band launched a highly successful crowd-funding campaign via Kickstarter for their collaborative film+music venture, The Shape The Color The Feel. The project attracted the attention of many, including Huffington Post who called the “effort to bring the best of the past and the present together" "admirably ambitious," going on to say, "the real beauty of the project is that just as it seeks to recapture some of what music has lost to technology, it’s utilizing the same technology to make that happen.” They were speaking to the vast scope of The Shape The Color The Feel. which would be released not only in the traditional record format on 180-gram vinyl and compact disc, but also as a visual album, imagined well before Beyonce’s midnight surprise hit the streets.

As this all unfolds, Tucker and filmmaker Miriam Bennett are working on a documentary featuring the creative community that has emerged throughout the project. For Sons of Sweden, The Shape The Color The Feel is a sort of homecoming, but it’s also a leap into the great unknown.
