Embarking on a solo journey from his roots in the Swedish band Redmoon, Arne Floryd introduces us to his latest artistic venture, Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends. Coming out of the music scene of Stockholm, Arne has been crafting his distinctive sound, marked by guitar-driven arrangement, breezy melodies, smooth vocals and infectious songwriting.
In 2020, Arne took flight with his solo project, releasing the debut double-sided single featuring “Suck” and “Strings.” This marked the inception of a musical exploration that weaves through various styles, each bearing the unmistakable stamp of Arne’s artistic vision.
Following a prolific year of three split singles, he unveiled his first full-length album, 17 Birds at the Summer’s Gate, in May 2021. The album showcased Arne’s ability to assemble a talented ensemble, including contributions from David Myhr and members of the Redmoon band, adding their own sonic flair to Arn-Identified Flying Objects.
The musical journey continued in the subsequent year with three more singles, building anticipation for Arne’s sophomore record, No Sweets for E., where the collaborative magic continued with the group of skilled musicians. Now, lifted from the record, second song “About Love” shining outing, offering a glimpse into Arne’s ability to craft pop-focused rock ballads that echo the bygone eras with a modern twist.
“About Love” opens with the warm twang of electric guitars, instantly transporting listeners to a nostalgic soundscape. The cool plinks of a bright piano complement the guitar’s grit, setting the stage for Arne Floryd’s rich voice to glide above. His vocals, laden with emotion and sincerity, weave elegant melodies, drawing the listener into a world of love and loss and the bittersweet passing of time.
The march of drums introduces a laid-back rhythm, steadily building up to the grandeur of the chorus. As the energy crescendos, a dazzling array of vocal harmonies and melodic leads unfurl, creating a memorable and enchanting musical moment. It’s a stunning slice of timeless songwriting wrapped up in a beautiful arrangement, once again showcasing the artist’s knack for capturing a retro sound and presenting it in his own style.
