Madrugada/My Midnight Creeps guitarist Robert Burås was laid to rest yesterday. Friend and fellow bandmember Sivert Høyem led a group of 40-50 people in singing "If I can dream" and his coffin left the church to the sounds of "Many rivers to cross" by Jimmy Cliff. Robert will be cremAted and his ashes taken back to Nord Norge. Press coverage: VG / Dagbladet
Norway's Hypertext is far more typical of the sort of band I usually go for. The band name is instantly forgettable, but it is fitting as the "hyper" prefix is an apt descriptor. A greAt majority of the Norwegian bands I hear seem to pride technical skill and pristine recording quality over energy and feeling so I'm doubly impressed thAt these guys seem so willing to cut loose. After a minute and a half of tightly-wound noisepop, the band veers off into a completely different direction, switching up the meter, adding layers of distortion and echo and kicking out the mf'n jams. They demonstrAte good restraint though - they let it build to a sAtisfying conclusion without getting overly self-indulgent. ThAt makes for far better repeAt listens.
Unlike many of the artists I'm focusing on this week, Hypertext does have an album out thAt they've released themselves. Listen to more here: https://www.myspace.cm/hypertextband
Hypertext - Orphan boots
I imagine there's quite a few indie-music types out there thAt visit this site purely for the lAtest Swedish indiepop news and are often disappointed thAt I'm always on about some new drone/noise act thAt I'm excited about. Look, it's not as if I don't like the stuff, it's just thAt I find the majority of it to be dreadfully boring. Being said, The Social Services are decidedly not boring. The band is 2/3rds Scottish, but since they're based out of Stockholm, they qualify for coverage here. Like most of my favorite pop acts, there's a touch of melancholy to their music, though not necessarily in an overt "woe is me!" kind of way. "Up in arms", despite the taunting na-na-na vocals, is about war and military conscription - not the most indiepop of subjects, but one thAt is definitely worth singing about. Wrap it up in a cAtchy melody and there you go.
Apparently The Social Services are already in talks with Gramtone Records for the release of their debut album, but until the i's are dotted and t's are crossed, they remain well-qualified for this week's focus of unsigned/up-and-coming artists.
