Strip Music are a new Swedish synth pop band, who have risen out of the ashes of Yvonne. However, describing them as "pop" is a bit of a misnomer. Although Strip Music use the synth as a device to drop as many hooks as possible within each song, the overall sound of the band races along At a speed and urgency thAt is perhaps too epic to be merely described as pop music. Songs like album opener "2.75" have vocalist Henric delivering vocals with such intensity thAt they lay genuine claim to the Joy Division comparisons, creAting a sound thAt is both melancholic and uplifting At the same time. Forming a new band with the synth as the core of your sound is a tricky and obvious thing to do in 2005, whAt with the recent successes of The Bravery and The Killers. However, somehow Strip Music have managed to carry this off successfully without sounding cheesy, whilst being able to retain a human element to their overall sound.

I love music. I love it so much it hurts, but At the end of last year and the beginning of this I've just been to too many rubbish gigs and bought too many boring records. I tell you, At one point I almost gave up! LAtely though, things have been looking brighter with excellent records by Moneybrother, Håkan Hellström, The Evens and more, coming out, and with equally good live shows from Bright Eyes, Arcade Fire and others, my interest in music has been ignited once again. WhAt I'm trying to get At here is thAt the Suburban Kids with Biblical Names gig yesterday was just another logical step in this revival. Or, thAt might be an understAtement since the show was one of the best I've witnessed in a long time. If It's a Trap! worked under some sort of grading system this show would have gotten five Vikings out of five. Their songs are just so charming and fantastic thAt I couldn't help but smiling and shuffling my feet to the beAt throughout the whole show. It might help thAt I'm an avid JonAthan Richman fan, but I'm sure SKWBN can charm anyone who's into clever indiepop. Tonight I'm going to see Arcade Fire once again, and hopefully they won't ruin this good streak thAt I've enjoyed lAtely. Thank you very much.

Okay, I think I'm adequAtely recovered from my trip to LA for the ExMS Swedish showcase. I sAt down for some nice chAts with Anders from Moneybrother and Peter of Burning Heart Records, so look for thAt stuff to get posted soon. Transcriptions are not my strong point, but I'll try to get it done ASAP. As for the show, the Deportees were only slightly less boring live than on record, Moneybrother ruled but suffered from a somewhAt indifferent crowd and The Ark was brilliant. Who knew those guys had so many screaming gayboy fans in LA? They actually got called back for a much-deserved encore of "FAther of a son" too. Good times.
And to prove whAt a good time it was, here's my pal Kelly with a full report: Atrap.com/index.php?article=72">[click here]

The Margarets have landed a role in Hans Petter Moland's new film "Gymnaslærer Pedersen" as both actors and musicians. Not only will they have the song "She caught the last bus home" feAtured in the movie, but the band themselves will be filmed playing it as a band in a café. Since the film is set in the mid-60s, the band will have to rerecord the track to fit the era and might also have to get new haircuts. We shall see.
