När regnet dragit förbi…

Description

När regnet dragit förbi… is the sole album by the Swedish duo Tomas Ernvik (of Vatten fame) & Agneta Gilstig, independently released on Gutta in 1980. The album was produced and recorded by Tomas Ernvik at his home during autumn/winter 1979/1980. (“Inspelningarna gjorda hemma på Kastellgatan periodvis under hösten och vintern 79/80. Tekniker och producent: Tomas Ernvik.”) All songs written or co-written by Tomas Ernvik.

Also featuring Vatten-members Björn Millton and Danne Gansmoe, among others.

Mr. Vatten hooked up with a female vocalist for this collaboration. A different kind of style than the Vatten albums – a mellower rock sound, very sparsely arranged, with piano playing the primary role (on some songs it’s the only backing instrument). Still has a couple tracks with that expected raw bluesy electric guitar growl. Mostly Agneta singing in the lead, with only occasional male vocals. Horns, strings and woodwinds make brief restrained appearances. All titles in Swedish. See also Brinnande. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition]
