Alice Boman — the Swedish songwriter whose debut Skisser EP was among the most to resonate of last year’s discoveries — returns with more cuts not originally intended for release. We covered the backstory a bit when “Waiting” came out, but suffice to say, there’s a genuine modesty to these recordings you don’t hear often. “I used to be uptight about it—I didn’t want people to hear what I’d written,” she tells Rookie. “But now, I think it’s nice to share it, even though it’s not perfect. I guess nothing ever is.” With its simple drum loop, luminous organ, and Boman’s feather-light voice, “Over” is typically poignant, humble, hopeful and, yes, sounding just about perfect to these ears. Watch the self-directed clip above and pick up the track on EP II, which comes with a copy of Skisser, here.
