Just as The Chrysler is preparing their third album "The Benelux Years" for release at home in Sweden (due out early 2007 with a single in December), US-label Galaxy Gramophone is prepping the American release of "Cold war classic". Just like their earlier release of "Failures & sparks", expect an expanding version with five bonus tracks taken from the "Blue gold" and "First blood" EPs. Look for it around February.
The new Ison & Fille single "Hela dan varje dag", the third from their most recent album "Stolthet", will be released on November 29. The track was produced by Filthy and includes a guestspot from Sabo of HighWon. Both the title track and the b-side "Dom Säger" can be heard on myspace: https://www.myspace.com/hemmalaget
