The dream...

The sixth and last song from the forthcoming Junica EP is now up for streaming at SoundCloud. EP of the year?

The Dream by junica

Creatures in the sea...

Check the new video from Danish singer/songwriter Jacob Faurholt for the track Creatures in the Sea; the first single from his forthcoming album Dark Hours (out mid-August). Laid-back, beautiful, atmospheric etc., or basically everything you expect and hope for when "dealing" with this genre. The track features Sóley of Seabear on vocals and piano. The song is free to download via bandcamp in exchange for your email address.


Creatures in the Sea from Jacob Faurholt.

Just so...

In Roskilde today (and supposed to be working)...but somewhere in the house at radio is playing and at this very moment this one is on...

Shorties...

Was away from the computer Friday to Monday to time to do a little ”catching up”.

Sad to hear about the passing of Gustaf Kjellvander. R.I.P.
+ The Fine Arts Showcase - Brother In Black

On a more happy note. Enough money has been donated to finance the release of A Month Of Unrequited Love on double CD and triple vinyl.

Boxstr.net continues to refuse to cooperate so cannot upload anything. And downloading is pretty slow as well!

Entakt gives away the 5 tracks that originally were intended to be released as an EP entitled Stolpe Ud.

Just found this nice track by The Demos in the mailbox. Taken from the band’s Lovely album.

Under Water...

Sweet new video from Acid House Kings sharing childhood memories.

Under Water from Labrador Records.

Girls tell you secrets...

I never got around to posting anything about Michael Møller’s performance at Charlottenborg (lack superlatives to describe the whole thing I guess), so here’s a picture instead. Had a pretty good seat me thinks!

Finns Delay Trees shares a third track from their self-titled debut album. Tarantula/Holding On differs quite a lot from the guitar pop sound of the two previous promo tracks, but absolutely brilliant nonetheless.

Speaking of guitar pop. Check this track by Very Truly Yours from the band's forthcoming 7" single (to be released by Cloudberry Records).

Silver splits the blue...

Play People shares their energetic, charming and wonderful cover version of Aztec Camera's equally wonderful Somewhere In My Heart.

Somewhere in my heart by play people

On the iPod and...

on the radio this morning. Inspired by listening to Graceland twice I "had" to give the entire The Good Life album a spin as well.

Alcohol Kisses...

Champagne Riot has uploaded a brand new (demo) track. It's quite catchy and has that "typical" Champagne Riot sound (if such a thing exists?)!

Knowing Me, Knowing You...

The girls back home have (admittedly a bit late) been hit by the Mamma Mia craze and are watching the movie over and over as well as constantly spinning Abba on the stereo. So yesterday when driving down to visit the mother of the commander-in-chief, we (as always) listened to Arrival in the car. And when we reach track 5 my thoughts (as always) begin to wander back to the days of vinyl, staying up late in the weekends listening to the radio, because that was the only way you’d ever hear of new and upcoming bands. One of the bands I recall being introduced to this way was Danny Wilson, which sadly decided to break up in 1991 after releasing one smash hit single (that of course being Mary’s Prayer) and two fairly successful albums. Following the split the band released a double CD compilation called Sweet Danny Wilson, which included A- + B-sides, live recordings, cover versions etc. Now what has this got to do with Abba you may rightfully ask? Well; included on the compilation was a wonderful live recording of Knowing Me, Knowing You (which I always refer to as the best cover version recorded of any song...ever) and every time we’ve listened to Arrival, I have promised myself that it’s time to dust off sweet old Sweet Danny Wilson and give the cover a listen. Yesterday I finally did and 20 years on it’s still absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately no live clip seems to exist of the live performance, but this YouTube photo montage does, so that will have to do. Hope you’ll enjoy it nonetheless!
