The new Kent album "Röd", their 8th overall, will be released on November 6 and will be available in a seemingly ridiculous limited 4CD set in addition to the long, solitary disc that proves you are but a mere fair-weather fan. As for what each CD will contain, it hasn't been revealed yet and I'm not sure I even want to know, but the first single "Töntarna" comes out October 14 (it was released digitally last night) and will include a Familjen remix.

Arvid is way too hi-fi to ride the wave of hype surrounding similar synthpop revival acts such as Cold Cave or whatever (and not nearly prolific enough either), but musically speaking, they're in similar territory. I'm sure some underground purists will scoff at that notion, but come on now -- let's be honest folks. They're all mining the same sounds Depeche Mode perfected ages ago, though yes, I concede that Arvid is firmly on the poppier side of things. Regardless, it's not quite as driving/pounding/industrial as I normally like this style to be, but whatever. It's succeeds at doing what it intends. I suppose that if you ever wondered what a melodramatic act like Kent would sound like minus guitars, Arvid might fill in the blanks.

The new [ingenting] single "Halleluja!" begins with a beautiful cascading melody and just gets better from there on out. This is Swedish pop at its absolute best; lush, gorgeous and impassioned. Even if nothing else on the forthcoming album "Tomhet, idel tomhet" comes close to touching this, they can still rest easy at night because few other singles this year have been so immediately gratifying. I posted another arena-ready track earlier today, but this so much bigger. Kent-sized even. Sing it to the rafters, to the skies!
[ingenting] - Halleluja!
