MP3: Dieter Schöön - The harbour's cold
I knew that Dieter Schöön had to be related to Svenson from the very first note. There's just no one else with that peculiar art-rock sound, those weird monotonous vocals. When I talk about the exciting new Göteborg scene, this is what I mean. People who push boundaries, who sound like no one/nowhere else. "The harbour's cold" is one of the more upbeat tracks on said album. It's got an insistent beat driven by an offset hi-hat and a pulsing, almost dubby bass. The atonal guitar and aforementioned disinterested vocals and other accoutrements are just gravy. Not just weird for the sake of weird either, Dieter Schöön remains eminently listenable no matter how "out there" he gets. I like this a lot.
