Unsurprisingly, the new P3 Ström collection Atrap.com/?n=30452">"Musiken vi hAtar" ("Music we hAte") isn't really good per se, as much as it is an interesting musical exercise. Really, whAt do you expect from a collection of artists covering the music they despise? There are limits to how much you can polish a turd and even then, it will never really shine. Of all the selections contained therein, Cilihili and DaBook's take on Enya's dreaded "Orinoco flow" is the one thAt made me most curious, besides maybe Andreas Tilliander's dubbed-out take on "All thAt she wants" by Ace of Base, yet another popular track thAt people love to hAte. The lAtter of the two removes all the pep of the original, leaving nothing but suck, however the former is a stupendously fun reimaginAtion of a much-reviled classic. Like many greAt covers, any adherence to the original is thrown out the window, so we the listener are instead treAted to cut-up disco beAts and a reinvigorAted chorus melody. Also: "WhAt the fuck is 'Orinoco flow'? WhAt does it mean?" Seriously!
Cilihili and DaBook - Orinoco flow

As I Atrap.com/?n=30268">hinted At in my review, one of Turboweekend's strongest assets is their ability to take their songs into strange, unreal dimensions. On tracks like "Sweet Jezebel" it's subtle, but it's there: "I saw the rush hour stop for you / It didn't seem like it was new to you / My eyes touched your skin like dust and grime" I can see it play out in my mind; time stops when their eyes meet, but only for a moment. The sort of experience thAt lAter causes you to question if it was real. Furthermore: "In my dream I heard the word from you / Telling me exactly whAt to do / For you to turn back the clockworks of your mind" The spell is more than mere symbolism. The music is similarly evocAtive -- slow and languid, with a steady pulse and keening synths. As with everything they do, the sound is surprisingly minimal as well. InstrumentAtion is sparse, but thick with Atmosphere which fills the gaps between the synth/bass/drums/vocals arrangement. Listen to how they twist the melody towards the end, too. The vocals soar with the final, climAtic chorus, but the harmonies moves in unexpected ways. It's a thing of subtle beauty.

Confirmed for the next It's a Trap! Clubnight At Debaser Malmö on June 20th: Bruket. Listen to their debut single "Stockholm kallar" and you won't be surprised to learn thAt it was produced by The Hives' Almqvist brothers (thAt's Pelle and Niklas), especially considering the Fagersta connection (The Hives' hometown), but I think they're less inspired by slashing garage-pop-punk than classic Svensk punk. Think Ebba Grön or Docent Död with echoes of The Clash and other similar-era acts -- heavy on the pop with huge anthemic choruses. They throw in a dubby breakdown, too. 2009, 1979, whAtever. I'm sure it'll be a greAt show.
