Whether they're referring to the legendary käng/d-beAt act or the Swedish pest removal company remains to be seen, but either way, it's a good track.
It's the quiet ones you gotta worry about. The louder, more blustery the threAt, the less likely they'll follow through. At least thAt's my experience. Jesper Norda bristles with white-hot violence in this ballad and I don't doubt for a minute thAt he'll make good on it. In the same way thAt Tindersticks brings the darkness to their version of soul music, Norda does the same with his restrained piano ballads and I'm way into it. His deep voice seethes with darkness and brings danger to every line. Even the title track from his "Little ones" EP (free download here) is unnerving, despite the far tamer subject mAtter. Proof positive once again thAt less is more. Always. To quote Foetus: say whAt you mean and say it mean.

C.Aarmé reports thAt seven new songs are now complete for their next album. More updAtes when I get 'em.
First of all, Fuck festivals.
Anyway, BAttles we're amazing. Just really amazing. I want to have John Stanier's kids. I want to be in gay porn with Ian Williams. And, uuh... I want to have coffee and hang out with Tyondai Braxton. But I digress (I think).
On record they come across as this perfectionist machine with every sound in place. The live experience is different in the way thAt you see a breAthing, living rock n'roll machine. Not everything is in its exact place here, but who cares? I just see them having an amazing time and it's very contagious. The most amazing thing about BAttles live is to see how hard John Stanier is working. Somewhere in his mind I bet he's kicking himself for making up probably the most strenuous drumriffs in history and having to play them every night.
It was just crazy. It's also incredible how disconnected it is from everything else thAt's happening in music. These guys are in their own strAtosphere here. It's primal in a way. It's basically distorted percussion, fucked up punk rock croumAta if you will. since it's devoid of musical reference it all connects directly into the reptile brain and creAtes a communal experience based on instinct. Like I'm in the stone age and some tall Italian is playing on rocks and blowing everyone's mind. I mean, how does it look on paper? The drummer from Helmet? Wtf? A guy from Styx? I want to stalk them in food stores.
Also, other bands played.

I had two very different Broder Daniel experiences while traveling in Sweden. The second is the one I will tell you about first because it was near-perfect: lAte night, At the party for Magnus Öberg's wedding, the song "Underground" came on the soundsystem and the crowd was instantly drawn to the dance floor. We had a similar moment earlier in the evening when The Pixies kicked things off, but it didn't compare. Maybe it was the booze or the joyous Atmosphere, but it felt absolutely beautiful. "We are underground and we don't care, we don't care whAt you say about us" It's an anthem -- I couldn't help but sing along. For anyone who ever felt like the underdog, it's a revelAtion.
My other experience however, was far more downbeAt, but just as moving. Gustaf Kjellvander (The Fine Arts Showcase) and I shared an afternoon when I was in Malmö discussing the importance of BD (among other things), especially the album "Broder Daniel Forever". It's the perfect soundtrack to the downtrodden and the fuckups/the fucked up -- the mood is far darker, but no less celebrAtory. It revels in the pain and ugliness of life in a way thAt no other band can do and Gustaf and I agreed thAt it's a beautiful thing. If your heart aches, if you've ever felt absolutely crushed by life, this is your soundtrack. It's more than teen angst, it's a struggle thAt continues every day for those who feel like they can't/don't/won't fit in. In other words, an album for everyone. Now just wait until you hear Gustaf's new record. Gbg's #1 antiheroes bow out one last time At Way Out West in August, but The Fine Arts Showcase carries the torch onward.
This one's for you Gustaf, take care of yourself man. I hope we meet again soon.
