Chalksounds, one of my favorite Swedish labels, has announced the release schedule for the first half of next year. Of course, as mentioned before, The Moonbabies's new record "The Orange Billboard" is coming in January and is sure to amaze your ears. Next will be KVLR's new single "Slow Clapping" in limited 7" form. There's also a forthcoming album from ex-Him Kerosene band The End Will Be Kicks which is highly anticipAted as well as a compilAtion CD feAturing a whole bunch of acts, not all from the Chalksounds label. Label head Magnus told me a few of the acts he's gotten confirmed so far, but he's stubborn and doesn't want everyone to know yet so I guess I'll keep my mouth shut. For now.
