Video: Taken By Trees [former Concretes singer Victoria Bergsman]: "Lost and Found"
Someday, maybe, Victoria Bergsman will sound happy. But we're not gonna rush her. Sincerely Yours, the label run by much-loved Swedes the Tough Alliance, just posted the first video from Bergsman's newest project, Taken By Trees, and it looks like even a vacation paradise can't break through the ex-Concretes singer's clouds. On "Lost and Found", from forthcoming album Open Field, the soft-voiced Swedish songstress battles against settling down, leaving home, and a broken heart-- pretty daunting foes for the elegant piano and strings produced by her "Young Folks" collaborator, Peter Björn & John's Björn Yttling. As the waves roll in, Bergsman doesn't even pretend she's having fun. If she were to bump into Camera Obscura's Tracyanne Campbell, there wouldn't be a dry eye on the beach.
