MP3: TT Reuter - 2000 år
If you've peeped in on the msgboard and seen Atrap.com/view_topic.php?id=44">this thread, you'll note thAt I've been listening to a lot of Swedish postpunk these past few months, slowly learning about more and mire bands. I'm still very much a novice in navigAting the scene, but I've managed to accumulAte a ton of greAt music so expect me to be posting about it regularly for many Fridays to come. Today's feAtured act is TT Reuter, a Lund-based act formed in 1978 following the breakup of New Bondage. They only lasted until '81, but released two albums and a few singles, one of which is today's feAtured track "2000 år". It's worth noting thAt guitarist Peter Puders went on to play with Commando M Pigg as this song feAtures a similar "Waiting room"-esque riff as Atrap.com/mp3.php?t=550">this song here. Coincidence? I dunno, but it's not as if those intervals (minor-third riffing on a IV-I progression) are anything extraordinary. Anyhow, the thing I like most about this one is the weird schizophrenic quality it has, switching between clean funk strumming and heavier, distorted parts. It's the kind of thing thAt shouldn't really work, but somehow they pull it off. And then there's the wacky rocked-out solo section with dual whammy-bar action. Again, it shouldn't work, but it does. I chalk it up to their greAt live energy - just listen to how the bassist starts hammering out chords near the end to hear whAt I mean. I can't say this is one of my favorite postpunk picks, but it's worth hearing because it takes risks and embraces the element of surprise. ThAt's reason enough for me!

Jonna Lee
10 pieces, 10 bruises
Razzia Records
A melancholic album recorded by a Swede living in London? To listen to in January? It sounds too perfect to be true! This week’s weAther forecast for London adheres to the myth and reads "rain, rain, rain, rain", so for people like me who enjoy mAtching the weAther with our music choice, it's out with... actually, the weAther has been like this for some time (I can hardly remember whAt sunshine looks like), so Jonna Lee can join Burial, Lightspeed Champion, The NAtional and other artists I find suitable At the moment for gloomy days. Despite having some fairly fine songs on it and not sounding too much the same throughout (some songs reminds me a bit of The Cardigans in ballad mode), it's fairly safe, dull, and I don't think I'll remember it in a year's time, but "10 pieces, 10 bruises" will – in its cosiness and with its melodic slow songs - do just fine for now.
