Majessic Dreams is Jessica Breitholtz Björk and Mats Björk. We discovered the joy and inspiration of making music together in early 2004, some songs were recorded and released on a couple of homemade CDrs. In 2005 some more songs came to life and two CD:s were released on the lovely label Oscillatone (CDEP “Listen to the Moon” and the self titled full length CD). We’ve also contributed on compilations from Friendly Noise and Rallye Cloak. Sometime in the spring of 2006 we met the nice people of Ponyrec in Copenhagen, and they’re about to release our next CD/LP! The new album is called “Beautiful Days” and will be released the 7th of April. Enjoy!

Beautiful Days (Ponyrec)
Majessic Dreams is Jessica Breitholtz Björk and Mats Björk and what they do on Beautiful Days (Pony Rec) certainly have roots at the same places as the aforementioned Hello, Blue Roses but what we have here is probably more reflective in a day after Midsummer’s Eve kind of way. On the title track we find fem vocals hovering over repeated guitar patterns and strings like mist over some remote lake. The occasional addition of circling flute adds a bit of a prog feel and the way it’s done it’s most certainly welcome to these ears. “Cloaks” and “The Lake” are fine instrumental odes that have more of a distinctive experimental feel to them while “Wife’s Song” is more direct and even bouncy in a quietly disorienting way. Another fine meeting betwixt folk, pop and experimentalism.

Beautiful Days (Ponyrec)
De to svenskere Jessica Breitholtz og Mats Björk mødte hinanden i København. Her holder de stadig holder til, og danner i øvrigt både par privat og musikalsk i Majessic Dreams. Om det er kærligheden der har gjort, at ’Beautiful Days’ er blevet et så fuldendt og gennemført smukt udspil, er ikke til at sige, men vi er i hvert fald helt oppe i toppen af den moderne folk-superliga. ’Wife’s Song’ åbner albummet, og sender vækker klart associationer til Sam Beams Iron & Wine, her er der blot en kvinde i front. På albummet har Jessica og Mats indkaldt en håndfuld gæstemusikere, og trommerne sparker ekstra liv i numrene, hvor det er nødvendigt. Samtidig optræder også undertegnedes yndlingsaversion, blokfløjten, men her giver den et skær af hippie-retro frem for at være enerverende. Eksempelvis i ’Clocks’, som – sjovt nok – tikker af sted. ’Beautiful Days’ vinder på sine himmelsk smukke melodier, og i det hele taget er det svært at begribe, at musik, der emmer så meget af amerikansk folk, roots og country, rent faktisk er indspillet i København. Blandt de mange stærke numre, stikker specielt ’Cold Wind’, forløsende ’Naked Walls’ og den fine lille to-minutters sag, ’Broken Love’ ud, men allerbedst er det afsluttende over syv minutter lange ’Walk You Home’. Et nummer, der om noget understreger, at den dejlige duo holder det høje niveau; hele vejen. Det her er det perfekte hængekøjealbum til en varm sommerdag – hvis der da nogensinde kommer sådan en igen. Ellers egner det sig da også meget godt til en regnfuld eftermiddag i sofaen, skulle jeg hilse at sige.

Beautiful Days (Ponyrec)

At forlist kærlighed kan lyde så iørefaldende og tage sig så smukt ud som hos Majessic Dreams er opløftende. Mats Björk og Jessica Breitholtz Björk, som udgør duoen (og par privat), formår med simpel folkpop at skabe et skrøbeligt og drømmende album, der knuger lytteren til sig, mens forholdets opløsning for hvert nummer rykker nærmere. De to svenskere, der er bosat i København, lader Breitholtz vokal fylde lydbilledet ud, mens fine melodier gnides ud af den akustiske guitar og de sparsomme strygere. Breitholtz vokal hæves aldrig men formår at få de store følelser fortalt sagte. Allerede første nummers første strofe, »Please don't leave me all alone/ I want to come back home/ Let me be the one for you«, slår stemningen an. Men hvor indholdet måske nok er nedslående, følger melodien ikke samme mol-skala. Korharmonierne svinger sig op i himlen, guitaren klimprer lystigt, og Breitholtz intime vokal hvisker muntert lytteren i øret. Allerede efter et par numre bevæger Björk og Breitholtz sig dog væk fra durskalaerne og sætter efter den dystre melodi. 'Summernight' er rugende og kan minde om en blid udgave af en PJ Harvey-sang, mens 'Naked Walls' og 'Walk You Home' ganske enkelt er foruroligende med skrøbelig vokal, sparsom instrumentering, baglæns-nynnen og knirken og knagen. Majessic Dreams formår at lade den ulykkelige kærlighed lyde svært tillokkende. Og med den akustiske guitar hevet frem i front, og det småelektroniske lydbillede fra debuten gemt væk, funkler de neddæmpede sange sart og fint.

Beautiful Days (Ponyrec)

Majessic Dreams levererar skör visa på ett ömt sätt. Det är vackert flöjtspel och plinkande gitarrer. Det här är absolut ingen partyskiva på något sätt men låtarna är bra och känslan är fin. Soundet är vandrande och lite gungande och de vackra texterna räddar det lugna akustiska soundet från att bli segt. Beautiful Days passar perfekt till sommarmys (även vid regn) och tåls definitivt att lyssnas på om och om igen.

Hi there! I really like those early songs of you. They're just so different than any others! It's a nice story how I find you: A friend of mine found your cd listen to the moon in a very little music shop in cologne and let me listen to it. but she didn't found out anything about you (well, she thought you would be called majestic dreams...)and we were not shure wether you were still existing...and we decided to make a faked homepage about majessic dreams... but before we could make this we found you on myspace^^
well...
