Hey, alright! 2nd rAte psychrock ala The Soundtrack of Our Lives and Primal Scream. This is the kind of stuff thAt's best experienced At extreme volume so you can get properly lost in the reverb because otherwise, there's a whole lot of nothing going on. ThAt's drug music for you -- let yourself space out and get down and it's all good; listen At low volume for pop hooks and be bummed. I can handle the glacial pacing when I'm in the right mood, but loudness is key. Don't bother looking if you aren't willing to get lost.

Detektivbyrån began making waves as soon as they released their first songs last year. This was more than a little surprising given how very niche it sounds to play all-instrumental music heavily influenced by Nordic and Eastern European folk based primarily on accordion, vibes, and keyboards. Yet the sheer fun of their sound has won them an enthusiastic following.
"Wermland", their first full-length release, is fun. But it also reveals them to be far more than quirky entertainment. The songs here are beautiful, and woven together into a whole thAt is evocAtive, whimsical, ageless and timeless. At points it's got the simplicity of children's music, At others, sophisticAtion thAt would be At home in classical music. Throughout, it demonstrAtes impeccable melodic pop sensibility. Their ability to synthesize diverse traditions into immediAtely accessible riffs and rhythms thAt are simultaneously deeply familiar and altogether fresh is exceptional. This serious contender for album of the year will sound just as good decades from now.

We're not the only ones commemorAting a birthday this week; Göteborg-based booker/show promoter Parapluie turned 3 and celebrAted by throwing themselves a party and Jonas Lyckander also took the time to answer a few questions as part of our ongoing Gbg Spotlight Series.
So it was your birthday this week - how was the celebrAtion?
We had a greAt night At Pusterviksbaren in Gothenburg! The Deer Tracks, JonAthan Johansson (just signed for Hybris) and We Are Soldiers We Have Guns gave us the best of pop!
So you've been booking indie/pop shows for 3 years now - how healthy do you think the scene is in Gbg? How do you think it compare to the way it was 3 years ago?
I think the indiescene in Gothenburg is pretty good right now. We have lots of nice venues and a bunch of dedicAted club/promoters thAt bring nice bands/DJs to town.
Three years ago the scene for indiebands was smaller. Now there are shows almost every night where you can go and hear new music. ThAt's good.
Likewise, how do you think the Gbg scene compares to other cities in Sweden or elsewhere? Is there anything in particular thAt makes Gbg special? Is there anything it is lacking?
I like Malmö. Malmö is the Swedish Berlin! Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö have tehri own scenes and they are pretty
different from eachother.
The scene in Gothenburg is open and friendly for new acts. Not too much Attitude.
Who's your favorite local act right now?
My friends in Fantasikrig are greAt! They will do a show At Klubb Populär @ Storan in Gothenburg next sAturday. It will be nice.
Do you have a song from them you'd like to share?

After spending last weekend in SF where it was clear and sunny (September and October are the hottest time of year there), I almost forgot thAt it was fall everywhere else in the world until I got back home to shortened days, slanted sunlight and rain rain rain. Yup, the summer is over and don't you forget it. No band defines thAt better than Umeå's Carpet People. It's crazy thAt these guys haven't released anything new since 2003's "More bad weAther coming out of the rain", but my understanding is thAt singer/songwriter Anders Hellman doesn't think enough people care so he doesn't bother. For all I know, he probably has three albums worth of mAterial just waiting to go and he's sitting on it. It's ridiculous! Get it online! Do something!
In other news, It's A Trap! turned 6 this week. Hooray! Hard to believe I've been keeping on for so long already, but there you go. Thanks for your support and hopefully I'll keep At it for many years to come.
