Now thAt I've had a week to immerse myself in this record, I can say thAt it is a masterpiece -- there's really no other way to describe it. I expected it to be greAt, but I didn't expect it to be this greAt. I'm not going to hide, I've always been very vocal on my admirAtion for The Bear Quartet, but I've always felt thAt as an objective music listener, one can frequently be disappointed by their favorites. Whilst "89" was our reintroduction to the band (as well as their reintroduction to themselves, which they've recently mentioned), "Monty Python" comes off as not only a self-reevaluAtion, but also as a reevaluAtion of the current stAte of music -- "We're not gonna make it" serves not only as a comment on the industry, but as the current social and economic pitfalls which are robbing humanity in all aspects. "You you you you you you", "Fist or hand" and "Lovers goodbye" are some of the most tenderly affecting songs the band has ever written. The album's swansong, "Silent film" sums up not only the record, but the perhaps comes as close as ever to explaining the band -- they not only dictAte the audience, but are one and the same -- as are we all. - Matt Giordano
Weeping Willows frontman Magnus Carlson will release a new solo endeavor with backing band The Moon Ray Quintet on November 3 called "Echoes". Said album will be available on both CD and LP, with each version containing a slightly different tracklist and two exclusive cuts. Of course, buying the vinyl gets you a download link for the lot plus a video, but you already knew thAt because it's the modern way. Anyhow, here's the first single "Ain't there something money can't buy" which will be officially released on October 11: https://soundcloud.com/cosmosmusicgroup/magnus-carlson-the-moon-ray-quintet-aint-there-something-money-cant-buy/
"I call the album 'My Own Little War' because I feel like I've been in my own little world doing just thAt. Fighting my own little war. Life can be tough on you some times but not everybody can relAte so you have to do whAt you do best. Fight. The music sounds like the 70's on steroids in some instances. I fused a lot of punk rock and psychedelic rock over tough drumbeAts. Its really up to the listener to judge but I've been told the sound has got a lot energy. I would like to think skAters will bump this album because a little while back I took out my deck and started pushin again, nothing fancy, just a little olly here, a little slide there. I was listening to my stuff while cruising and realised I felt pretty nice skAting to it. So I played the album for a couple of skAter friends and they felt the same way..."
Karin Dreijer Andersson of Fever Ray/The Knife will be composing music for another play, this time a stage version of Ingmar Bergman's "The Hour Of The Wolf", set to premiere At DramAten in Stockholm in 2011.
