BREAKING NEWS: We have now officially started the recording of our third full length album!
The first session was held last Monday at Roth Händle Studios. The whole process will stretch out for several months with quite long gaps in between, and the album will have a scheduled release around spring 2011.
This first session contained quite a bit of playful experimentation as you can see below. I will not get in to details, but I can assure you that the material we have for this album is by far the strongest we have written so far. So, stay tuned.
Just uploaded some quite rough live clips from an old gig at the club Groddar & Gräsrötter at Landet in Stockholm. The gig took place 2009-10-22 and we played together with Life On Earth.
Its an extremely small venue and the sound is not always the best (as you can hear), but its always a fun place to play, crowded, sweaty and with great atmosphere.
So, it had to happen. The first pressing of both Tid är Ljud and Detta Har Hänt is now completely sold out at Record Heaven/Transubstans. You might of course find a copy at local distributors or record stores, but don’t count on it.
We are of course working on a second pressing of both albums, but it might take some time. However, the second pressing will not be made in the delicate digipak format, but in standard jewel case. This is the reason why you should act fast when reading this:
WE STILL HAVE A FEW COPIES OF THE FIRST PRESSING OF BOTH TID ÄR LJUD AND DETTA HAR HÄNT AVAILABLE IN OUR OWN WEBSHOP.
Red capital letters needed, cause when they are gone they are gone forever. So, order your copies today.
Yes! In July we will return to the land of fadeless splendour and tulips in abundance. We have been asked to play a festival called De Affaire in Nijmegen (Same city where we played a club earlier this year). Seem to be a great festival which has been running for a few years. Other acts confirmed for this year is Dungen, Astra, Shining and Fucked Up among others. In other words we’re in great company.
In addition to this we will play a gig at a music café in Haarlem called Patronaat the day before. We also have one day TBA. If you have any suggestions for that date, please get in touch. Hope to see you there!
Back in 2007, we participated on a compilation CD released by a dear friend of us on his label Great Northern Recordings. The CD was released in 157 copies, each handnumbered and with the actual CD attached to a vintage seven inch record with a golden spider painted on it (look above). Very beatiful little thingies. The other three bands that participated was ASS, Erik Enoksson and Detektivbyrån.
The two songs recorded by us for this compilation was “Sorterargatan 2″ and “Polska från Vinsta gård”. Both songs were recorded, mixed and mastered quite fast and sketchy in our own Studio Pelikaan. Due to the fact that this Compilation sold out more or less already at the release party we thought it would be good idea to make them accessible once again in electronic format.
To get some more background, these songs were recorded after Tid Är Ljud was released, and is our first recording with Einar as guitarplayer. In a way you can see this as our Garage Days Re-Revisited-recording. Yes, I am rudely enough comparing Einar to Jason Newsted in the way that album served as Metallicas way of testing the skills, and presenting their new bassplayer. Howerever, we knew already at first rehersal with Einar that he was a keeper, so its not really a fair comparison.
However these songs serve as a good document in time of where we were then, trying to find our new identity as a band. Parts of “Sorterargatan 2″ obviously became “Sorterargatan 3″ on Detta Har Hänt. “Polska från Vinsta gård” however is a totally different story, that would probably not have fitted on any of our albums, but is none the less a good song, but much more folk/jazz-jam than you probably ever heard us.
