Mellemblond

~ ~ ~
Mellemblond is a Danish band (2006?) from Copenhagen. With initial changes the band came to consist of Kristoffer Munck Mortensen (vocals & guitar), Mads Brinch (guitar), Jens Hein (bass), Adrian Aurelius (drums), Silas Tinglef (drums). After 2012 the band name refers to Kristoffer Munck Mortensen's one-man music project with studio aid from many of the former band members. The musical style was initially neo-psychedelic singer / songwriter (the music centered on Kristoffer's lyrics) and blues rock, and some swamp rock, but it has evolved to a more quiet and simple version of the psychedelic style and a more accentuated singer / songwriter profile with lyrics in Danish. I also think that you may hear Steppeulvene - maybe in the nasal vocal of Kristoffer Munck Mortensen resembling that of Eik Skalø, and also somewhat in the swamp-like (Creedence Clearwater?) distorted guitar sound that is mostly heard on the debut album.
