Degrees – Pt. V Album Review

“Pt. V” is the newest album release by the amazing Degrees, and I must say it is incredible!

But before we get onto that, let’s have a little look at who created this fantastic album. Degrees are a two-manband, featuring Mikael Jakobsson and Richard Folke. After the pair met back in 2001, they found a mutual love for music and decided to form as a duo in 2008. Since then, they have created some brilliant music, and this album is part of that!

“Pt. V” was just released last year; however, it was actually recorded back in 2012. The album consists of nine different tracks, each one having their own special qualities.

Kicking off with “You Don’t Know What Love Is”, we find ourselves instantly hooked. The track begins very mysteriously, but after about a minute a beat builds up. The music is certainly amazing, and there is no denying that two musicians are incredibly talented. 

A track that really caught my eye is “Dear Diary”. This tune is more upbeat, and just makes you want to move tour body. Although this track lasts over six minutes long, there is not a single second that you find yourself bored. 

Additionally, “Floods” is a track that we really get to hear the duo’s vocal talent. This song is soft-rock and is my personal favourite of the album!

The final track, “Everywhere All The Time” is a seven-minute track, but it is certainly a brilliant way to end the collection. Everything about this tun is perfect, the music, the composure, the vocals and even the lyrics. 

I cannot recommend this album enough, so be sure not to miss out and go and give the “Pt. V” album a little listen to now!
