The Crystal Caravan confirm album release, release party
Umeå-based retro-rockers The Crystal Caravan have confirmed that their long-awaited self-titled debut album will be released on April 3 via recently resurrected local label Garageland Records. And keeping it local, the record was produced by Dennis Lyxzén (The (International) Noise Conspiracy, Refused) and mixed/mastered by Pelle Henricsson (too many credits to mention) at Tonteknik. There will be a record release show that night at Scharinska Villan and Dennis will DJ in addition to a full-band performance.
And speaking of Scharinska and Garageland, I understand that the record store is moving to the basement of the Pink House and will be operating with extended evening hours in an attempt to drum up more business. Best of luck to them -- it's tough times out there for retailers.
