Our Fridaytune is a epic song from M83 – who today announced their Swedish tour of 2012. They will come to Stockholm Feb 25 and Malmö Feb 29 and it will be very special.
M83s Anthony Gonzales takes us for a ride through the history of music. He combines Jesus and Mary Chain with Sonic Youth, it´s kraut and psych and electronica and whatever.
Check out his song Midnight City, a partystomper who even includes a sax-solo and makes it sound cool.
Check out ’Dengue Fever’, a six-member band from Los Angeles who makes blues- and psychodeliavibes with influences from the Cambodian rockscene of the 60´s and 70´s. Chhom Nimol sings in both khmer and english while the band mix surfrock, loungemusic, klezmer, The Doors and Jimi Hendrix-stuff.
Listen to the song. It´s a slow, revovling ceilingfan. It´s the smoke of a cigar rising towards the dark night. It´s cheap mekong-whisky, sweat and perfume. You can hear the murmur from the bar and every insect outdoor as the evening dies. Cheers GG, our own DJ Kurtz, for giving us the fever.
Deer Tick opened our eyes to the rowdy barfighters of J. Roddy Walston & The Business. This is real time rock n´roll with the swagger of greatness all around.
Bend over Beethoven, we dig the unholy marriage of Jerry Lee Lewis & Lynyrd Skynyrd. Check out these live vids from Austin City Limits this fall.
The acclaimed Swedish folk/pop duo First Aid Kit premiers their new single on PSL (Swedish Television). The Lions Roar is also the titletrack from the coming album which will be released January 24 2012.
The duo has been working with Bright Eyes Mike Mogis, among other, on the coming album. Earlier this year, they have also recorded two covers with Jack White on his project ”Blue Series”.
If you wanna catch the sisters on tour, get yourself to Sweden in December.
Swedish band Deportees from Umeå release their4th studioalbum Oct 19. Check out their great single Islands & Shores. A dark, fateful song with a Interpol & The National kind of vibe.
The vocals from Peder Stenberg gives me a shivering Waterboys-Mike Scott-feeling, simply stunning.
One of our times greatest, is covered by the finest of finest. Justin Vernon and Bon Iver covers Dylan.
The song ”With God On Our Side from the album ”The Times They Are A Changing” one of my favorit albums, containing ”Ballad of Hollis Brown” and ”Boots of Spanish Leather”, was recorded live at a Portland show a week ago.
