Moonbabies have a new website and have posted some news about my lovely comp and about another new song of theirs that's featured in the movie "New York waiting": http://www.moonbabiesmusic.com/

Remember yesterday when I mentioned Emerald Park and the new record they're making with Ola from Moonbabies? And I said I was going to ask for permission to share some of those songs with you? Well, permission has been granted - listen to two tunes right here: http://www.gronkvist.net/emeraldpark_demo2006/

Jonatan and Micke have left the band Emerald Park, but the rest of the band is continuing on with recording a new album under the tutelage of Ola from Moonbabies. I've been fortunate enough to hear two songs and it sounds damn good. Maybe I'll get permission to share one of them with you someday.

I'm not posting a new mp3 today because I have something even better for you, the tracklist for "It's a trap! reader's companion volume two". Behold:

The Mystical Beast posts a short quip about the Moonbabies and their new EP "War on sound": http://mysticalbeast.blogspot.com/2005/07/three-covers-three-moonbabies-snow.html
I agree with his assessment that Moonbabies are a group just aching to break. They're certainly good enough - I guess it's just a matter of waiting for the "right" people to notice.
