Torpedo, the band consisting primarily of members from Tiger Lou, has signed with Swedish indie upstart label Kneivel who will release their debut full-length "In the assembly line" this fall. Currently the band is back in the studio recording a few new tracks, so the final product will probably differ a bit from the promo/demo version that has floated around.

Check out a live recording of Nina Kinert covering Torpedo's "Love affair strapped in electric chair": http://myspace.com/ninakinert
Ane Brun is providing backing vocals. Nice!

MP3: Torpedo - Assembly line

I'm back in the SF Bay Area visiting my mom, so no there will be no news update today. However, I do have a brand new track from Torpedo to share, so all's not lost. Far from it actually - new music is always good thing and new music from Torpedo is great. However, I'm pretty beat from a rough day or travel and broken down cars, so let me allow the band to speak for themselves:

It's a 9.26 minute long anthem from our forthcoming album. It's easily the best work we've ever accomplished. May sound strange to people's ears the first time they listen, but we hope they'll understand the magic eventually.
The new stuff is much more monotone Krautrock but still maintaining the epic melodies and the quirkiness.
Hope you make it to the ending of the song. That's when the fun begins!

Intrigued? Check it out and I think you'll find that they speak the truth.
