RIYL: mystics, and Swedish Pop by way of Kashmir

Taken By Trees - East of Eden

going east via Rough Trade records (2009)

Taken By Trees is the solo project of Swedish chanteuse Victoria Bergsman, formerly of The Concretes and "Young Folks" fame. Her second album is full of beautiful, experimental pop songs that feature Bergsman's distinct voice amongst heavy doses of traditional Indian and Pakistani instruments. The record also includes her inverted take on Animal Collective's massive "My Girls." In addition to that cover song, check out "To Lose Someone" or "Anna."
