The UK-based Saatchi Gallery Magazine has an in-depth interview with Swedish trumpet player Goran Kajfes about his new double-album "X/Y", out now via : http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/artandmusic/?cid=512&b_log=512
(Goran Kajfeš, Linus Larsson and John Roger Olsson, Ass) have a nice new website: http://www.headspinrecordings.com/
will releasing new albums from Ass and Jobalites this spring, with the former's record "Salt marsh" due first in April. Also look out for a new Goran Kajfes album this coming fall.
"LaBlaza" is a damned entertaining, eerie romp through the Göteborg electro, avant-rock, and Krautrock scenes; it's a journey where the origin is quickly lost, the endpoint forgotten, and only the blurs scarring the landscape make much sense anymore. "The harbour's cold" is a wonderfully detached electropop song (and might get kids suggesting that we "smoke a spliff in the afternoon", something I haven't heard since my late '90s frolic through the British reggae scene), and the Khonnor-esque (remember him?) "Soft and slow" is every bit as engaging as it is distant. The rest of "LaBlaza" is just as unique and prone to change, but there's a bizarre continuity present as the tracks rumble onwards. Just another record to prove that, while 2007 may have been useless in many ways, the music released this year has been anything but.
