The new Familjen album "Allt på rött" isn't getting an international release anytime soon as far as I know, but those of us outside Scandinavia can take a listen now via Soundvenue: www.soundvenue.com/nyheder/2012/09/12/hoer-familjens-nye-festalbum
A 1-minute preview of the upcoming Familjen album "Allt på rött", officially due out on September 12 in Sweden, slightly later elsewhere in Scandinavia. I would've liked to link you to the video for the lead single too, but the geniuses at have it blocked in the US.
The brand new Familjen single "Vi va dom", just released today via his new label home .
Look for Familjen's brand new single "Vi va dom" to be released on June 18 in combination with an online performance where the price of admission is a pic your recycling receipt -- details here. The new album "Allt på rött" will be released on September 5.
"Jona" is the new Familjen-produced single from Edda Magnason. To round out the release, label asked fellow Malmö resident Vidderna to do a remix and the result can be seen/heard at PSL right now. Then they had Niva remix the remix without having ever heard the original. And then Justus Köhncke contributed by remixing the remix of the remix. There's also some sort of demo version/remix/mashup from Simian Ghost too, but it all starts to get quite confusing. Anyhow, expect them all to be online shortly?
The new Emil Jensen/Familjen collaboration single "Nyår" now has a video.
Timely without being Christmas-themed, here's a brande new duet single from Emil Jensen and Familjen entitled "Nyår": http://www.adrianfiles.com/01.Nyar.mp3
If you don't want to bother with downloads, stream it on Spotify here.
This Is Head cover Familjen, the video. Not sure if it's just my computer or what, but it looks like something got seriously garbled from my vantage. Anyhow, here's the direct link: http://vimeo.com/22351812
