About Axel Boman & Miljon

Sometimes it feels like summer exists for the sole purpose of making memories: here for a flash, and then left like a snapshot in a cardboard box, its colors steadily yellowing over the years. But here’s a summer anthem that’s expressly about forgetting. Like all great piano-house tunes, Axel Boman and Miljon’s new song “Forgot About You (Piano Version)” is a marvel of simplicity, drawing the line at two poignant chords and wringing them for maximum emotional impact. This is no surprise; Boman, a co-founder of Stockholm’s Studio Barnhus label, has a knack for ruminative floor-fillers and fantastic pianos. But “Forgot About You” sounds less like dance music than it does winsome indie pop. That’s thanks largely to Miljon, aka the Concretes’ Lisa Milberg and Jon Bergström, the Swedish duo whose his’n’her vocals give the song such a wistful cast. Like all great he-said/she-said duets, the singers find bittersweet melancholy in the impossibility of seeing eye to eye. “I forgot all about you,” Milberg begins, and it sounds like that might have been for the best; the memory of a first glance leads to the inevitability of the end. Bergström, in the boyfriend’s role, can only shrug: “It’s not enough for me, oh no.” By the end, she’s conjuring the image of autumn leaves swirling around the couple’s feet as a violin whips like a chill through the air. Like summer itself, it’s all over far too soon.
