Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends is the solo project of former Redmoon member, Arne Floryd and hailing from Stockholm in Sweden, the band has some eclectic influences in 60’s and 70’s rock and hints of folk and punk, combining rock and power pop with a retro vibe.

I have previously reviewed music by this band and am always happy to hear more. Wedding Song was released on 22/05/2021.

The Swedish singer / songwriter cleverly mixes alternative and indie rock with a hint of pop to create a very nostalgic sound, reminiscent of the 80’s, but still maintaining a modern twist so the song doesn’t appear dated.

Musically, this track is very laid-back with a mellow and gentle vibe to it. The drumming is soft and the guitar work has the suggestion of a country rock twang, with the solo part way through the song taking its influence from classic rock.

Once again, the vocals are soft and gentle, yet command the song from start to finish. Layered backups add to the depth of the song and there are some great harmonies.

This track has a big sound with the addition of stringed and other percussion instruments, noticeably bells, and to think this sound has been produced by just one person is formidable.

Another great track from this very talented musician!
