Lights and Motion – Dear Avalanche
Multi-instrumentalist Christoffer Franzen's outfit Lights and Motion is not so much a band as an all-terrain vehicle for the Swedish musician and producer's relentless, insomnia-bating work ethic.
Lights and Motion have released a steady stream of full-length albums since their formation in 2012 (basically an outlet for Franzen's musical perambulations as he battled with insomnia) and their tracks have been featured in scores of TV spots and trailers (ranging from Furious 7 to The Vampire Diaries), as well as ads and promos (Budweiser, Rip Curl, Google, The Guardian, the list goes on).

James Joshua Otto – And then, the mountains moved
“And then, the mountains moved” - an EP that captivates and uplifts with a refreshingly harmonious bellow; one that threatens to tear the world away and leave you lost in contemplation. With an ethereal tranquility that appears to pulsate in time with the landscape it claims to represent, natural, classical and contemporary inspiration becomes apparent, with juxtaposing genres complimenting each other magnificently. James Joshua Otto achieves high levels of quality through his expression of skill; a great sense of depth and drama become immediately apparent and set the precedent from the opening of the first track “One step enough” - a gentle introduction which foreshadows the excellence yet to be discovered.
