Sailor & I connects art and pop music Sailor & I is a metaphor for two wills inside a person, which are in a battle with one another. We do things we don't want to do, but we can't stop doing it for some reason Sailor & I is synonymous with Alexander Sjödin who makes music of a similar persuasion – curiously compulsive and at the same time beautiful and utterly brutal Swedish singer, multi instrumentalists and producer Alexander Sjödin creates the band's signature soundscapes and introvert pop songs with the use of violins, voices, the bass, analog synths and prominently featured drums who recall Rhye, Fleet Foxes and Woodkid's musical landscapes. Sailor & I's first pop song offering saw the band release their debut single "Tough Love" on one of the UK's most prestigious new taste-maker electronic labels Black Butter late summer 2013. Airplay followed on all BBC Stations in the UK as well as the interest in the band arose significantly across Europe Sailor & I are now back with their latest productions for Life and Death. The two original tracks, while very different in moods, both share lush productions and a dramatic musical storytelling not often found in a typical dance release. While Boys & Girls offers a slowed-down mournful and yet beautiful nostalgic tale of childhood days gone by, Turn Around comes straight out of the gate like a racehorse on fire, flanked by strong strings and a vocal that pleads a case for love that comes straight from the heart. And of course rounding out the release is arguably one of the most anticipated tracks of the summer. Ever since it first started falling on people's ears earlier this year, the Âme remix of "Turn Around" has been the high point of sets by Tale of Us, Dixon, Mano Le Tough as well as the few select others that have had their hands on it up until this point. It's been giving goosebumps to club goers everywhere and with good reason — this is Âme at their finest, taking the song and extending it into an epic masterpiece that works wonders on a dancefloor while never losing the bewitching essence of the original.
