Champagne at Emerald Park...

Two very interesting new releases by two Scandinavian artists have been spinning merrily in the office today. Sophomore album For Tomorrow by Sweden’s Emerald Park has been on the radar for quite some time now, and it will finally be released November 14 by small German web label afmusic. Ever since I featured the band for the first time back in September last year, a constant stream of fine new demo recordings and mixes of older tracks have been floating our way, which for my part helped to increase the expectations. Expectations are always difficult to deal with, but For Tomorrow just doesn’t leave any room for disappointments, as the album’s 12 catchy and well-produced (by Ola of Moonbabies) pop songs gives us far more than we could realistically hope for.

The Shelflife webpage has been given a much-needed face-lift and the US label celebrates this by releasing the eagerly awaited Paris and I EP by Danish one-man project Champagne Riot. And this little gem containing 6 irresistible pop songs once again proves that Shelflife only signs the very best.

I'd love to, but I cannot (will not) do it without permission from the label. And I doubt very much that I'll get that!

"the commonfield" is now for free, at least for a couple of days.

.Wow! You guys are great! I can't wait. Hopefully US itunes will carry "For Tomorrow" on Nov.14,08 or shortly after. Please don't be like Moi Caprice. US itunes don't even have the 2006-"the art of kissing properly" & the 2008-"we had faces then" yet. I guess their management/ record label don't want maximum exposure or itunes???
