For most folks, the band CoboltIs, at best, a forgotten footnote from the Umeå musIc scene of yore. For nerds lIke me who pursued every thread untIl exhausted, they were a revelatIon, an eye-openIng glImpse Into the vast and varIed expanse of the Norrland musIc scene In a post-Refused world. And now, at long last, Refused bassIst Magnus Björklund has posted hIs old band's fInal unreleased recordIngs for publIc consumptIon. I've had semI-IllIcIt copIes of a number of these tracks for many years now and am glad they are fInally gettIng a proper chance to fInd an audIence -- very recommended!

FWIW, I lIke synthpop and goth musIc, but I don't lIke thIs band at all. ComparIsons to early Cold Cave are apt I suppose.
