The new Moneybrother album "This is where life is" will be released on September 26. Basic tracks were done at Steve Albini's Electric Audio in Chicago and from there Anders and producer Christoffer Roth travelled the world -- LA, London, Rio, Jamaica, etc. -- adding overdubs, all while filmmaker Jim Dziura documented the process.
All-star Swedish label collective will release new albums from both Kriget and Woodlands this fall: http://www.ingrd.com/2012/first-news-for-fall/
Kriget, as mentioned before, is the instrumental act of Per Nordmark (Fireside, Britta Persson, etc.), Crille Roth (Monster, Hets) and Gustav Bendt (Moneybrother, Club Killers). Woodlands, on the other hand, features Sara Wilson (First Floor Power), Niklas Korssell (Tutankamon, The Plan) and Marcus Holmberg (Komeda).
Apparently Moneybrother is working on a new album and will be documenting the process for a film to be released in conjunction: http://gaffa.se/nyhet/52066 (in Swedish)
No release date yet, but apparently production is just about to wrap up.
