Rikard Sjöblom's Gungfly (v. Alone Together (Sep 2020))

I guess blame the IO marketing people.

That’s probably it.

I know it's been a single for a while, but now I have the album, I'm properly listening to the title track, and my word that outro...I cannot stop listening to it. It's so beautiful!

Agreed, great finale. However, the title track is my least favorite of the longer tracks on the album. Still good though! But I like the groovy style of Traveler better.
And Shoulders Of Giants is one of Rikard's best songs in my opinion. I can't stop bouncing my my head when I listen to it. Sometimes I do something completely unrelated and haven't heard that song in days and that playful part from 2:15 pops in my head. Love it.

To me, a lot of the vocal parts of the track Alone Together reminds me of the heavier Beardfish material from the likes of Destined Solitaire or The Void.

Been thinking about Beardfish recently. I loved Beardfish until The Void came out, that one turned me off for a while, though it has some good tunes on there. Never checked out that last Beardfish album, then I heard the band broke up, and I haven't kept up with Rikard. May have to check out his stuff with Gungfly, maybe the new album.

Clean as a Whistle is a really great track from this one. The acoustic guitar on the first verse is very 80s King Crimson.

Man, that closing guitar solo on Shoulders of Giants. Still blowing me away every time.

Funny you mention this one, I can't get it out of my head! In fact, I JUST posted this:

Alone Together is a masterpiece from start to finish and it flows so smoothly

The new album is pretty brilliant.  I've had it in heavy rotation now for the last week

Finally grabbed a copy of On Her Journey to the Sun. Just finishing my first full listen (had heard parts of it before but missed it when it first came out and just got around to ordering a copy). It’s a fun listen. Certainly trademark Rikard. Kind of easy to get lost in the stream of music that just pours out of his recordings. Love it.
