Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends’ new single

Stockholm-based artist Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends is the latest solo project from musician Arne Floryd, who first came to prominence as a member of the Swedish bad Redmoon. In 2020 he set out under his new artistic banner to deliver his own style of guitar-driven music that journeys through a range of different styles, all threaded with his breezy vocal work and catchy songwriting.

On his first outing as the curiously named Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends, in 2020 he released the debut double-sided single which featured “Suck” and “Strings”. Dropping three more split singles the next year, he then shared his first full-length record with 17 Birds at the Summer’s Gate in May 2021.

Now with his sophomore album set to be released in the first half of this year with the working title No Sweets for Elvis, he brings us his latest release with the new single “I Dreamt I Met Elvis”. The single released as a pairing to his recent upbeat yet wistful song “No Sweet Dreams”, on his new track Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends lays down a delicate country style jam.

Written in tribute the legendary king of rock n’ roll, the song is also infused with a tale of longing for meaning and love. Linking up with the talented vocalist Stefan Peterson of Mother James to offer dual vocals with the artist with drums courtesy of Andreas Quincy Dahlbäck, on “I Dreamt I Met Elvis”, Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends delivers a gorgeous alternative folk pice of enduring sound lifted by exquisite songwriting and assured vocal and instrumental performances to build the anticipation for his forthcoming second album.
