Since Nomethod is doing cheap reissues of both Mixtapes & Cellmates discs and the Robert Svensson album since signing with Border Music, they're giving away a bunch of free mp3s including a brand previously unreleased new one from Robert: http://www.nomethod.se/
Nomethod has signed a new distribution deal with Border music so that means that their latest release, "Young punks are on the never-never" by Robert Svensson, will be getting a mid-priced rerelease with bonus tracks in the near future. The label also reports that Aerial's next album is mixed and ready to be mastered -- no release date on that one yet either, but I heard a rough cut and my mind was blown. Seriously, they aren't kidding when they say it sounds like Him Kerosene taken to the next level.
The final single from Robert Svensson's album "Young punks are on the never-never" will be the opener "Broadway". Look for it in April. After that, expect him to reappear shortly thereafter with a new record from Mixtapes & Cellmates - I do believe it's currently being mixed.
Robert Svensson's first solo single was "1987", a track which featured guest vocals from Adam Olenius of Shout Out Louds. That was supposed to be a big selling point I guess, yet it ended up being one of the weakest tracks on his album. Nine months later, here we are with his latest single "1991" which actually happens to be my favorite track on the album. 4 years made the difference? Anyhow, the template for the sound isn't that different - we still get the same indierock with skittering beats and clever percussion, soft synths and a big, big chorus. "1991" also eschews more typical "rock" instrumentation, relying (almost?) solely on electronics. That helps separate the piece from Robert's work with his band Mixtapes & Cellmates and it also provides a wider palette for him to dip his proverbial paint brush. Yes, it's a bit colder, but that too is fitting for the season as far as I'm concerned. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a fresh blanket of snow outside to go play in.
