I really enjoyed Victoria's band the Concretes with her sparkling voice lending an mysterious yet playful element to the music. When i first saw Peter, Bjorn and John at the Mercury Lounge they invited Victoria to accompany them on their hit track, 'Young Folks' which features Bergsmans' vocals on the album as well. She was endearing and polite, thanking the band and audience members for their support and cheers. It seems she has a new project underway, her first solo effort, Taken By Trees. A US date has yet to be announced. The album is being released in throughout Europe and the UK on June 18th via Rough Trade Records. Peter, Bjorn and John's John Bjorn Ytlling and John Eriksson are guests on the album as well as Electrelane's Verity Susman, providing piano arrangements and backup vocals. Not only does Eriksson help out musically but also co-produced the album. Should make for an interesting listen!
