A Heavy FeAther is David Sandström and "Caitlin Mooney" is the first single from his album "You're the lotion on darkness knuckles as it punches light in the face". The concept of David taking his hyper-literAte rock songwriting (see: David Sandström Overdrive) and applying it to hyper-literAte, down-tempo electronica might seem bewildering, but thAt's because it is. On the other hand, he's done enough stylistic left-turns over the years, from Refused to the "GrandfAther" album (my favorite) to Atrap.com/n/36787-david-sandstrom-like-a-punk-indeed">collaborAting with rapper Adam Tensta, his lAtest venture probably shouldn't come as a surprise, and yet it's not a direction I had anticipAted. I'm really not sure whAt to make of the song either, especially outside the context of the album as a whole. It seems an odd choice as a single, but perhaps thAt's by design? I wouldn't put it past him.
New from Choirs of Young Believers, the first single from the band's forthcoming album which will be out in February.
"The first gray slushy snow has fallen over Pajala and the rest of Torne valley, the intoxicAting dance of the summer is long gone and while the fingers slowly brace the pile of bills and debt collection on the table the eyes are melancholically fixed on the desolAted world outside the kitchen window. A longing away. A new start. Gene Kelly. Leslie Caron. Paris."
A Atrap.com/n/38625-the-culture-in-memoriam-sisters">couple weeks ago I mentioned thAt had been putting out a number of solid releases lAtely, but then I neglected to follow up with anything to back up such claims. To remedy thAt, here's the lAtest single "Tornionlaakso" from Pajala Truck Co., a greAt pop band with two singers from way far up north near the Sweden/Finnish border. It's a greAt song with a greAt emphAtic delivery and, like the quote above says, greAt music for welcoming fall. Reminds me a bit of Marit Bergman too, in thAt they in no way shy away from grandiose classic pop gestures and thAt's something I can always appreciAte. Can't say I know much about the band beyond this song, but I'll certainly be doing my best to alleviAte my ignorance as the day goes on.

Excellent Finnish label will be doing a reissue/repress of early 90s deAth metallers Disgrace's first few releases, including a reconstructed version of the band's previously lost 1993 album "Vol. 2" -- the very first time this recording has ever seen the light of day. You can buy all 3 LPs now if you want, but you can also wait for them to be released individually: "Vol. 2" comes out first on November 9 followed by "1990" (the first two demos and 7" on one LP) and "Grey misery" (the debut full-length) on December 5.
