Immanu El is a young Swedish band with a unique sound: dynamic guitar and keyboard soundscapes, captive singing and with somewhat of a moving Nordic mood. The music is focused at varying dynamics and a wide spectrum of harmonic expressions and sounds that can move between presence and ambience. Originally the band was inspired by early post-rock and experimental bands and sounds, which combined with pop influences made Immanu El create a sound of their own based on atmospheric soundscapes that became the fundament for their debut album.
The core in the Immanu El sound has ever since the first songs were written in their mid-teens been to create something heartrendingly beautiful and moving, but the performance to create it has changed. As the band members have grown older and turned from teens into young men, the music as well has got a lot more mature and even more specifically unique. The core of beauty is still there, but what we can hear from today’s Immanu El is a rock band with confidence, profession and quality in their own sound. Atmospheric surroundings has yielded for a more down to earth, present and forcing kind of music, and the result is something rarely seen or heard before – a sound more touching and beautiful than in the rock quarters, but with more attitude and presence than in the soundscapes of post-rock.
Immanu El was formed in 2004 by 16-year-old Claes Strängberg.

I appear to be in the minority here, but after listening to Moen quite a bit, it is clearly superior to their debut album. They remind me of a much warmer version of Logh, if that makes sense to anyone.

to explain the change in sound from their debut, just know that they cited Interpol as a big influence when they started writing for Moen, and that the producer Kristian Karlsson was in Eskju Divine (and now in Jeudah). I think that sums it up

I completely agree with David. Moen is simply beautiful and here there's no matter which genre it represents. It's just pure beauty.

Winsenes: You seem to become quite emotional concerning the subject "Immanu El". However, it's very thoughtful of you to let us know that you generalized. ;) I may be a fool, but I'm most definitely not narrow-minded. And why would a chord destroy a floating and atmospheric piece of music? That doesn't make sense - at all. Anyway, I truly dig their new album. I usually don't listen to Immanu El, but I had to give this one a try. And it's quite beautiful, and atmospheric in a valley-kind-of-way. As if they stood on each side to create a collision of waves slowely grabbing our hearts in a hurry, to go far far away from our everyday troubles. "Storm" is a very powerful song, what a truly great ending! Right now, the sky is getting dark blue and outside my window I can see two great birches, and the moon is visually placed in the gap between them, slowly moving to my right. Couldn't have any better vision to this album. I might just get hooked.

Yea. It's fucking nonsense. Immanu El is one of very few post rock bands today that actually develop. If you want a band who don't change, who makes the same record all over again - listen to EITS. Moen is fantastic, in another way. But I guess the post rock mafia around here can't realize that, because they are often narrow-minded fools who can't accept some structure in their music (the music has to be floating and atmospheric, which of course is destroyed the moment you hear a chord, etc). And, of course I generalize.

The sound of Moen is exactly the way for being a popular band in this days (and it sucks!) e.g: that magazine thing that "talk_" says 3 posts below... I really miss the old sound =(

Moen is great for pop band with post-rock influence. But, that's not Immanu El that I know. Sigh ....
