MP3: Ison & Fille - Ikväll är vi kungar

We're having a heatwave over here in the Pacific Northwest and today is supposed to be the peak. I have no idea how bad it's gonna get, but I do know that the thermometer in my kitchen window made it up to 107°F/42°C yesterday afternoon and I'm not looking forward to topping it. No AC, no relief, almost no music sounds good except a few things. I lucked into a fine (but small) selection of soul LPs at an estate sale this past weekend and have been spinning them regularly and I'm getting ready to bust out a Trojan Records reggae box, but I also have to give it up for Ison & Fille because they've delivered not one, but two quality summer jams this year. "Jag skratter idag" is the more upbeat of the two, but today's mp3 selection "Ikväll är vi kungar" ("Tonight we are kings") is far more fitting for chilling hard in the shade with a beer and a bbq. And that's what I'm going to do right now. No way am I spending my day sweating in front of the computer.

MP3: Ison & Fille - Jag skrattar idag

I get seriously bummed sorting through all the new Swedish hip-hop, hoping to find something good. For awhile it seemed like the forward-thinkers were taking charge and releasing great records, but now? I'm not so sure. So much of what's popular sounds like 3rd-rate garbage to me, lazy copies of American artists. Leave it to the standbys to keep up the quality then -- for example, not only has Promoe been putting up a ton of decent-to-better tracks for free download, but we've also got Ison & Fille's new single "Jag skrattar idag" to get us through. It's a fitting song for me today as well, since my workday was abysmal. What can you do but laugh it off? Especially when it starts off with a unnecessary 5am phonecall. "Jag skrattar idag" has a lazy, whistling melody, but the kick and bass push the beat and keep things moving. Insistent in an underhanded way, I suppose you could say; it drives far harder than you might realize. Fits my mood and fits the season, too. And not to damn them by comparison, but you could certainly do far worse. Also, once again proving the best Swedish hip-hop is still done på Svenska.
