It's cold up there, but not far from cult music town Umeå (I guess you've heard of Refused, Cult of luna and Meshuggah?) and their classic vegan rullpizza, that Erik is known to love. He like to play GTA: San Andreas, hang with Erik motherfuckin Enocksson (he has a record coming out on Enockssons label) and write awesome music at home, often going in the lo-fi direction. He has also creating the term "hi-fi is for brats", falling drunk from his bicycle (hurting his hand ultimately) and kissed a girl at least once.<br /></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left">This is his latest "school-project" record called: "Låtar som morsan kommer hata" (songs that mom will hate), and it's a wild ride around the desert and manic synth landscapes. First off, there is a big GTA: San Andreas influence here, with four songs taking names from the game, and also more synth then he usually use, creating an interesting and almost funky sound. It's an unique world that builds up with the record, including 15 wonderful tracks during the 1 hour it lasts.</div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left">Myspace: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/chigacojazzz">www.myspace.com/chigacojazzz</a> </div><div align="left">Lastfm: <a href="http://www.lastfm.com/music/chigacojazzen">www.lastfm.com/music/chigacojazzen</a></div><div align="left"> </div><div align="center"></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459276083060749154" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaA6uaZcnXvenHKPXZpJvkf5feuon-8POFyubFNASnzg2ExwM_liuPAkKoJNGE9Ntct6_DOKlGfJ2j6COZOpTW9pFtZRRznvpB8T-WErU9KH2tPrnnZAiv7B-O3Vy__RmGmgP9FpELaIdS/s320/Chicagojazzen+en+bild+jag+snodde+frn+myspace.jpg" /><br /><br /><p align="center">Download: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?emmegn3g1jo">www.mediafire.com/?emmegn3g1jo</a><br /></p>Rickardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04282095090448945680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655895749614017902.post-55377825421088872662010-03-01T22:23:00.006+01:002010-03-03T15:08:23.377+01:00Lyrics by napoleon bonaparteThis is a friends new project, entitled "Lyrics by napoleon bonaparte". The sound can be described as a mixture of Xiu Xiu and early Conor Oberst, with a touch of bipolar and anxiety on top. It's a great mixture that shows that there's more then just another typical singer-songwriter waiting out there to be like the other, and instead punch you in the face with it's honesty.<br /><br />Myspace: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/lyricsbynapoleonbonaparte">www.myspace.com/lyricsbynapoleonbonaparte</a><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 317px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444408773605340242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBhBn5BdOtE2FIvwFZdQPD-EwmwMuwf4SddehijMLro65tj_ny76F9Y3kGeNUQZYRdUmdRc2TWXdV8EXm9KrJMZGGUqanqdIbVL4ETO8A7kSoueyIJSiwGVlc64QOpdcyeq90W7NGsDkPn/s320/cover.jpg" /><br /><p></p><p align="center">Download: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?5y2ctz3j2zj">www.mediafire.com/?5y2ctz3j2zj</a></p>Rickardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04282095090448945680noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655895749614017902.post-9263137659253359082010-02-28T20:01:00.007+01:002010-03-01T15:57:16.861+01:00Echo, echo, landscape! & And they say splitThis is the floopy disc that we'll release together with Echo, echo, landscape! today.

Beautiful melodies and dynamics are breaking together to form this wonderful Ep, recorded back in the summer of 2008.

It was a fun show, but we scared almost all of the 100+ attending the night (we played shortly after a acoustic Christmas show). They clearly got sick of the music and the two movies we showed in front of the stage. The movies showed were Ichi the killer and Perfect blue (both which was in black and white, without sound and with Finnish and Greek subtitles). My lovely girlfriend Sara also contributed with two paintings that we had on stage (together with Christmas trees, smoke machines and other decorations).<br /><div><br /><div>The show is split into 9 parts that lasts around one hour.

While being most known for his "main" band The mars volta together with Cedric Bixler Zavala, he has also released around 16 solo albums under several different constellations since 2004. This works are mostly towards the prog genre, but a little now and then he releases more obscure works like his album with Jeremy Michael Ward (that I recently uploaded here), and also one titled Despair. Despair was recorded with field recording equipment during Omar's stay in Israel 2007. It features chants from the different religions occupied in Jerusalem and also other objects within the town, that he later experimented with in the studio (just like the Jeremy album). The album cover is upside down, something that has made many speculate. It turns out that each track is indeed backwards, so fans decided to fix this by making a reverse version. According to me both versions are great in their own ways. The regular backward version is filled with a more calm and soft atmosphere, while still being harsh around the edge. The reverse version is much more of a creep fest. A perfect eerie mood record that I highly recommend!</div><div align="left"><br />Myspace: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/rodriguezlopezproductions">www.myspace.com/rodriguezlopezproductions</a><br />Lastfm: <a href="http://www.lastfm.com/music/omar+rodriguez-lopez">www.lastfm.com/music/omar+rodriguez-lopez</a><br /></div><div align="left"></div><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414835176761686610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2lSZom3DPxJYjqPGqHDxFOjgCsntM3F5vKQdhG2y22NSiRe3dUdIuonJal48dfQyE0kk5-LyaRC5z1JUGd16U9f8itqH_vHd9qFjLJJH5gG8jeATqMx009GE1eOaLG2Vqjgigh3qQpPPU/s320/despair+-+Kopia.jpg" /></p><p></p><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414836184031099618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQMIbZzyN4yyr6-u1U00DM1YzH-eLc_aSe_mqw5Lu83h-LvaN-5z4jDmXDILrSGhtc799k7MDM-tIRaA3_c_CpCOzYlSkabZSngktY0op4pibKS5EMbtdBYtEOFRZl858KIctA9pw1dkBF/s320/despair.jpg" /></p><p align="center"></p><p align="center">Download regular backward version: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?3wanm2neqyq">www.mediafire.com/?3wanm2neqyq</a></p><br /><div align="center"></div><p align="center">Download reverse version: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?jgyzzodwzty">www.mediafire.com/?jgyzzodwzty</a></p>Rickardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04282095090448945680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655895749614017902.post-49717763613440926772009-12-10T17:20:00.006+01:002009-12-13T22:36:53.547+01:00Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Jeremy Michael WardThis record was a collaboration between Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and his close friend Jeremy Michael Ward that took place shortly after Omar left cult post-hardcore band At the drive-in and began The mars volta in 2001. It features field recordings of various objects, activites and people that they later messed with in the studio. Jeremy died of an drug overdose in 2003, only a month before The mars volta released their first full length record Deloused in the comatorium (that featured lots of Jeremy's sound manipulations). I actually never think it was supposed to be released at first, but with Jeremy's death you can see the relase (it came out in 2008) as a tribute to Jeremy from Omar. All in all it's a noise classic that you shouldn't miss.<br /><br />Lastfm: <a href="http://www.lastfm.com/music/omar+rodriguez+lopez+jeremy+michael+ward">www.lastfm.com/music/omar+rodriguez+lopez+jeremy+michael+ward</a><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413652969506858674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihpEwnrSMLUR7FndMoG8aKUz9i-WfN8y07jXc6Oe8NLJNi3eLtCaCd9Z6fJRZbvBPW-XhMS-hlxEfgOMAdx8YqTdQeQWO3qLt3n24RZ2nAbyCx1sZynbnuTxYJKI4OTbWBuo6s5srwX67G/s320/f5d887ea2c11e09b599c0cb3668dd51c_full.jpg" /><br /><div align="center">Download: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ignmjmnityz">www.mediafire.com/?ignmjmnityz</a></div>Rickardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04282095090448945680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655895749614017902.post-14840847477511042472009-12-09T18:51:00.006+01:002009-12-09T19:28:58.170+01:00Halo of pendorDaniel Öhman is involved in many great bands that I admire. He plays guitar in post-rock band EF, indie band Convoj and was lead singer in now defunct Hardcore band When we fall (all of which is great). He also has a minimalism/experimental project called Michailov that are currently doing music for an German art movie with fellow EF member Thomas Torsson (which I have yet to hear). But now it's time for his beautiful solo project that is Halo of pendor. I've been a fan for over a year now, and I truly love his work. The music is filled with emotions and mellow soundscapes blendning simple guitars, drum beats and samples to create harmony. This is a perfect relax record, that I hope you give a chance.<br /><div></div><div> </div><div>Myspace: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/haloofpendor">www.myspace.com/haloofpendor</a></div><div>Lastfm: <a href="http://www.lastfm.com/music/halo+of+pendor">www.lastfm.com/music/halo+of+pendor</a></div><br /><div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 285px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413303241440620562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNtevxFwr4CPJ2vCUEzU1IjgP2AYTpT4tujsucpuocHrzRBB3ohuCKPiOmMfgpiRDNjF5ZC7VD32MVhGEL_ZPX3Q4pWmqiwPTJmZFvr50dRc2RP1Sb8QrvVlSoVccjuJq3fXmD309_473a/s320/Halo+Of+Pendor.jpg" /><br /><div align="center"></div><div align="center">Download his self titled album: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?lwjoymxyzz">www.mediafire.com/?lwjoymxyzz</a></div>Rickardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04282095090448945680noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655895749614017902.post-16784944013176298292009-12-09T14:58:00.013+01:002009-12-09T18:12:33.239+01:00BorisDrone/punk/experimental/noise/psychedelica/stoner/lo-fi rock act from Japan formed in 1992. Known for their constant genre switching between albums, bassist/rythm guitarist Takeshi's double headed bass guitar (with one bass and one guitar neck) and work with Sunno))), Merzbow and several other drone/noise acts. Fantastic band that holds a great standard on all their records and the genres they incorporate. Don't miss out on them!<br /><br />The records I'll upload is Akuma no uta which is a stoner/noise rock album and Vein which is divided into a noise/drone side and a hardcore/lo-fi side.

Like the apes they have their ground (the little they have) in post-punk and then they do these monstrous experiments on top of it. Killing the whole industry with this amazing formula consisting of everything between heavy drone to kraut rock with groovy ritual drumming. Since the story began in Göteborg 2005, they've released over 20 records/ep's/splits and more is on the way. They have also worked together with Damo Suzuki (of Can fame) and Sewer election (another great Swedish noise act from Göteborg). One of my big findings this year, so a big recommendation on this one!<br /><br />Myspace:<a href="http://www.myspace.com/skulldfx">www.myspace.com/skulldfx</a><br />Lastfm: <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/the+skull+defekts">www.last.fm/music/the+skull+defekts</a><br /><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411978988499661810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt4TstH2nmGu0OlbGQIxzGqKssY-xbPmCIfhp7jeG7H2dA2yvh-232xtRxRes08Vs0LEazuYTZmagUc25A00RCSCfzovVva5WuojxTnSKNFtZnIbjcGfKGManVNGK6VEZyAoLSOfrs5m_a/s320/The+Skull+Defekts.jpg" /></p><p align="center"><br /></p><p align="center">Download Blood spirits & drums are singing: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?nelxdwjjiu0">www.mediafire.com/?nelxdwjjiu0</a> </p><p align="center">Download The drone drug: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mndnqmlzltw">www.mediafire.com/?mndnqmlzltw</a></p><p align="center">Download The temple: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mzm4iklwgwy">www.mediafire.com/?mzm4iklwgwy</a></p>Rickardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04282095090448945680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655895749614017902.post-49835581900480535682009-12-02T23:33:00.007+01:002009-12-06T05:49:25.270+01:00EnemiesGreat post/math rock from England.

Both are focusing on representing the emotion anxiety. We actually watch graphic videos of murders, slaughter, torture and beheadings, just to come in contact with that raw feeling of watching what humanity is capable of. We then use the feelings to put it down in these two projects called Sollicitudo and High texture resolution.<br /><br />Sollicitudo is a dark electro meets noise project while High texture resolution is more towards indie with post-rock, lo-fi, ambient and noise elements. Check it out if you like, but have in mind that nothings done yet. We'll see what happens in the future with these projects.<br /><br /><br /><div align="center">High texture resolution: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?wnwgndyzz03">www.mediafire.com/?wnwgndyzz03</a></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">Sollicitudo: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?nzyzlmzlljt">www.mediafire.com/?nzyzlmzlljt</a></div>Rickardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04282095090448945680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655895749614017902.post-37232352665082179042009-11-09T04:42:00.009+01:002009-11-09T05:38:10.712+01:00######Noise map######I'll give a brief on what's going on.<br /><br />I have a new internet connection now, that's slower. Which will probably make the uploads suffer a tad bit.<br /><br />I had a wonderful weekend, especially the screamo/hardcore gig that I arranged at Friday (with Echo, echo, landscape!, If footmen tire you, what will horses do?, Meleeh and Suis la lune). Probably one of the years best shows, if not the best! Did a duet with Jon on Echo's song Andas, which was great fun. Just hope I did a good performance. Malysz Johan did great Vegan pie, with lots of spicy tofu. Saturday was more of a chill out day. Hanged out with my good friends Oscar and Aron, they are crazy dudes (and if you're from Sweden, you have to check out their radio show <strong>Noise map</strong>, which I'll talk more in the next topic). Sunday was also relaxing, me and Sara slept till 2 am, ate falafel and then she had to take the train home for school. Sucks more then 3000 miles to graceland, ass movie.<br /><br />This week I'll have my first solo show ever, and also the second show under the name And they say. This will be happening on Saturday, and it'll be a show together with great friends Echo, echo, landscape!, If footmen tire you, what will horses do? and Sancta poenas (which is Dvala's first drummer Jimmy's band). I really look forward to do the gig, to finally be able to let out everything once again. I should really play live more often. Also my crazy dude Oscar from the radio show <strong>Noise map </strong>will do a phone interview with me, talking about my inspiration for writing the kind of music I do and so on. Maybe we'll talk about squares. I would like that. The interview will then be broadcast under one of their upcoming shows (in Swedish of course).<br /><br />So as I've mentioned <strong>Noise map</strong> a few times now, so let's talk a bit more about this radio show that my friends in Lund hosts. <strong>Noise map</strong> is a radio show focusing on mostly noise music, but also other genres that has a lot to do with noise and other really cool stuff like the wood. It's made by Aron and Oscar, two crazy dudes that once lived in my hometown Vänersborg. This autumn they left to study in Lund, which is about 4 hours south from here. Suddenly they got this wonderful idea to do a radio show with noise elements, on Radio AF. They post all old episodes on the net, and every Tuesday 11 am(Swedish time) it's live. Not much more to say then that noise dudes and gals out there should check it (even if they talk in Swedish, they still play great music).<br /><br /><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 250px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401957274219865186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2IAa-gNc74DzQPdNnRJ8QLznJnqAlmho0WTtNUNudLQnxI9j28Oq_S8aqi1xLN725fTHk_RVav066EF0x4Is8ZQCF4kMEDqhxWR0fOxIutONpW4gIpTxds7_FJfYHFzARzbTnwuaEaNDu/s320/ps_noise.png" /><br />Go here for noise map: <a href="http://radio.af.lu.se/program/noisemap">http://radio.af.lu.se/program/noisemap</a></div>Rickardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04282095090448945680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655895749614017902.post-46217973033266902072009-11-02T16:35:00.011+01:002009-11-02T18:16:14.147+01:00Knife and ape<div align="left">I hold this band as one of the finest coming from Sweden. Their sound can be described as "a mentally ill Joy division that has plugged itself into an old rusty computer who bleeds electronica". They began sometime around 2004 in the north Swedish town Piteå, and has since released two 7"s (which one is a splits with Dialog cet, released 2004 and 2005), a 12" split with Alarma man (2006), Hex (2006), Night touch (2008) and a 30min single named Class war (2009).<br /><br />Myspace: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/knifeandape">www.myspace.com/knifeandape</a><br />Lastfm: <a href="http://www.lastfm.com/music/knife+and+ape">www.lastfm.com/music/knife+and+ape</a><br /><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399536645403769458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxZj2s2iEaxat2oZhhTjQQs5Xg1B1OPGhlONClXy7IrLN8GDCA_vnbeKy7aqo2aaMpiTa2BlFvFqwRAvdhf5elEXibHnRXFVpKkHqFKTSI0CzAC0hgjDEQ47lrWSkj2evj1ZoUiL0iqPaz/s320/Knife+And+Ape+1.jpg" /> <p align="center">Download first album Hex: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?jlmz2wjn4ny">www.mediafire.com/?jlmz2wjn4ny</a></p><p align="center">Download second album Night touch and Class war: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?i5gtmnmgnmr">www.mediafire.com/?i5gtmnmgnmr</a></p>Rickardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04282095090448945680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655895749614017902.post-21873753890233380542009-10-29T12:19:00.009+01:002009-11-09T23:43:45.495+01:00Moloken live at cafe micToday I will be absent from the net while arranging a sludge/metal/hardcore show here in Vänersborg with great sludge band Moloken as headliner.

Not much information out on this band, but I know that Fredrik (vocals, guitar) is the maestro creating all music. They recently did a little tour here in Sweden to promote their first album, and that's when I got this. The music is really soft and nice, including cello, banjo, clarinet and also few hints of post-rock (in the structure).
