Soft Rock from Arn-Identified Flying Objects And Alien Friends

Stockholm-based artist Arn-Identified Flying Objects And Alien Friends had a prolific 2021, releasing a string of singles as well as a double album, co-produced by the legendary David Myhr (of the Merrymakers) who also plays multiple instruments on several tracks.

The artist also plays guitar and sings in the Swedish outfit Redmoon, alongside members Daniel Lagerlöf, Åke Lindgren and Johan Lundström. With his solo project he brings together elements of power pop, folk and indie rock, but although many of the songs might be rooted in musical soil of the sixties and the seventies, there’s no nostalgia here. The lyrics are heartfelt and poetic, sometimes ironic, but contemporary and always honest.

With more music, including a new full-length record on the horizon, he now brings us the album version of his latest single, with “Someone Told Me That You Were Dead”, a song about love, longing and loss.

Collaborating again with David Myhr who provides the production as well as backing vocals, bass and cembalo, with the new track, they deliver a blissful soft rock outing full of rich Beach Boy-esque harmonies and delightful melody-driven writing.
