Tobias Arbo is a Swedish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who is known for his idyllic folk frames and immersive evocations. The artist creates his music like a painting, stroke by stroke, detailing it with beautiful sensibilities and dimensions. It is so effortlessly minimalistic and rich with grace. Imagine a swirling blend of Nick Drake with Sufjan Stevens and James Taylor. That’s how Tobias’s portraits form. His latest release is the ‘Yellow Woods’ album, a collection of folk music that expansively connects the classic with the contemporary and imaginative. It would be the perfect blend for a solo vacation on an island. The melancholy in it will heal you while the mystique revives you.
Taken from the album is ‘Pyre’, a shimmering, gleaming folk ripple that is as tranquil as the sea glistening in the sun. The track dives into the aftermath of a breakup. Recollecting and replaying memories, it plays out like a dreamy montage of good times. Frame by frame, he insfuses the listener with the miracle of love, followed by a grief that oozes out like honey. Listen Now!
