Two White Horses are brother and sister Jakob Nyström and Lovisa Nyström, Swedish musicians whose music sounds like a more earthy Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg collaboration.  Their album comes out in March on Sahara Hotnights’ label, Stand by Your Band.  Half of the songs on the album are covers, including Françoise Hardy’s “Tous les Garçons et les Filles” and El Perro Del Mar’s “Candy.”

Original song and current single “Good Times are Gone Forever” does the typical Swedish combo of low, ironic lyrics with upbeat melody.  It’s about growing up, but I like it anyway.  The initial guitar riff sounds a bit like the intro to Blues Brothers, no?
