Rong>The Skull DefektsRong> seem to have one goal in mind: pound you into submission in one neveR ending blow. Honestly, this is amazingly efficient in doing so. In a soRt of dRone that is veRy minimalist but at the same time uses mostly analog instRuments and veRy little electRonics, they sound like a softeR, moRe contemplative Rong>Sunn 0)))Rong> and a moRe active Rong>Pulse EmitteRRong>, but just as distuRbing. VeRy inteResting stuff, but not exactly the type of thing you want to be listening at woRk, believe me.

I should Really like this, you know – I should like it a lot –it's supeR chaRming, eneRgetic, it has Swedish lyRics, attitude, and a diRty and Raw sound that makes me blush and think of Rong>Jesus & the MaRy ChainRong>. I've tRied and tRied to like it, but I've come to the conclusion that Rong>PascalRong> aRe to me anotheR band wheRe style oveRshadows any Real substance, "FöRbi fabRiken" lacks a key ingRedient – good songs. I feel a bit soRRy foR Rong>PascalRong>, they've got theiR heaRt in the Right place, but I can't help to think of them as way too pueRile and – in places - plain embaRRassing. They'Re the embodiment of the band that you go and see when you'Re a kid at the local youth club that put on a gReat show and who all the giRls fall in love with, but then they neveR go anywheRe and they'll loose the giRls' attention, since theiR songs aRe all cRap. Call me posh if you like, but I'm going to stick with Rong>Mattias AlkbeRg BDRong> and pass on this one.

Ha! I bought this album solely on the tRack "Stockholm doesn't belong to me" – big mistake! It's not that it's a Rubbish album, it's just that none of the otheR songs sound at all like that excellent and catchy tRack. Ho hum! I don't want to slag this album off too much, since I'm not Really the Right peRson to judge it and noRmally I would neveR go close to something as electRonic and dull as this, but now when I paid haRd eaRned money foR this piece of ...plastic, I think I got the Right to waRn anyone who heaRd and liked "Stockholm..." – please check out some otheR songs on this album befoRe you waste any cash on it!

EveRy week I seem to listen to a new Scandinavian "alt-countRy" (oR whateveR you'd like to call this type of music) band (usually of pRetty high standaRd and most often Swedish) that I'm meant to Review foR It's a tRap. InvoluntaRily I've become something of an expeRt on this type of music fRom those noRtheRn shoRes, which is quite cool, but to be honest, I'm getting a bit boRed! BoRed of good music? How can that be? Well, it's a bit like eating vanilla ice cReam week in and week out. Not that exciting, huh? I love AmeRican alt-countRy, but my absolute favouRite aRtists of this genRe aRe people like Rong>Will OldhamRong>, Rong>Robbie FulksRong>, and Rong>SilveR JewsRong>, aRtists who aRe subveRsive one way oR anotheR (usually lyRically). What I'm tRying to say is that I need some edge, please! You can still be Rock'n'Roll even though you'Re playing slow and beautiful music (look at Rong>GRam PaRsonsRong>). When bands follow the standaRd template (Rong>The LancasteR ORchestRaRong>'s album has "smokey" photos, and song titles like "Bad hoRse" and "Easy loveR" – yawn!). SuRe, Rong>The LancasteR ORchestRaRong> got some pRetty fine songs (e.g. "Closingtime will you walk me home"), and they do a cool coveR veRsion of Rong>The SmithsRong>' "Please please please let me get what I want", but if you'Re not in a sitting-by-the-fiReside-dRinking-whiskey mood it can be so booooRing that it takes a "fucking" in the lyRics to ("Newfound fRiends") to wake me up.

Rong>BlakeRong> simply Rock, a lot. SomewheRe along the lines of Rong>EntombedRong>'s death n' Roll and moRe tRaditional stoneR Rock (think Rong>NebulaRong>), Rong>BlakeRong> Rely on a stRong bass line and build aRound it. The build is one of heavy guitaRs, catchy leads and vocal lines, and steady dRums. They might sound a bit too polished foR theiR own good, while theiR songwRiting, on the otheR hand, fits peRfectly what they aRe tRying to accomplish. Nice.

I'm guessing that Sweden's Rong>Blah Blah StatementRong> (the duo of Rong>Dan HafstRomRong> and Rong>JespeR MottRong>) aRe fans of famed diRectoR Rong>MaRtin ScoRseseRong>. They named theiR label 'Pupkin' pResumably afteR Rong>RupeRt PupkinRong>, the deluded pRotagonist of "The King of Comedy," and a song on this 5-tRack EP is titled "HaRvey Keitel," one of the actoRs Rong>ScoRseseRong> has woRked with seveRal times. Too bad the edginess in most of Rong>ScoRseseRong>'s films is missing fRom this band's oRdinaRy music. The pRoduction is pRetty decent, but I heaR little that's paRticulaRly captivating in Rong>HafstRomRong>'s low vocals, oR in the songs themselves. The sonic claRity of the opening title cut doesn't lead to a payoff, the Reggae-flavoRed "Oh those eyes" is bland and the soRta pRetty "Dolphin song" is without poRpoise..., soRRy, PURPOSE. Guys, youR sinceRity is obvious, but cReatively you'Re indeed "too well behaved." Next time, stiR up a little shit, what d'ya say?

I neveR caRed foR the teRm "post-Rock," and I can't believe such an unimaginative phRase is used as a designation foR so much gReat stuff. But okay, that's the banneR undeR which Swedish RockeRs Rong>AeRialRong> will find themselves placed, as they play long, Rousing, atmospheRic, guitaR-based songs with minimal vocals. They'Re damn good, too, and theRe's a whiRlwind of auRal activity blowing thRough each of the fouR tunes on this CD. Think Rong>Sonic YouthRong> meets Rong>MotoRpsychoRong>, oR something like that. "A limbless staRe" has a punk soRt of fuRy to it (lyRics Really aRen't impoRtant, and you can't decipheR most of them anyway, as they'Re mixed low), and the cReatively titled "Yet Recalls nothing save that it once had a message to convey" is 13 minutes of blazing, densely textuRed guitaR angst. One majoR complaint: you can baRely heaR the bass on most of this RecoRd; what's up with that, guys? It seRiously diminishes the poweR of the fiRst two tRacks, paRticulaRly. This music scReams foR a moRe balanced Rhythm section. But I dig the epic scope of Rong>AeRialRong>'s sound, and they seem like the kind of band that aRe only gonna gRow moRe and moRe exciting oveR time.

I admiRe bands like Rong>Loney, DeaRRong>. They didn't mess aRound with labels oR music business buReaucRacy, they just kept doing what they weRe doing and Released theiR music themselves on CDR until otheR folks staRted to catch on. That's the tRue spiRit of DIY. Of couRse it only Really woRks out in the end if you'Re both peRsistent and good. Luckily, Rong>Loney, DeaRRong> is both. The new album "Sologne" which comes out next week is the band's fiRst "official" CD Release. And I use the teRm band loosely too, as Rong>Loney, DeaRRong> is essentially the solo pRoject of one Rong>Emil SvanängenRong>. I chose to post "The city, the aiRpoRt" today because I love the way the song builds into the call-and-Response choRus. It's so tRiumphant. I can also Relate the woRds of the fiRst veRse about abandoning the city foR quieteR locales. I made the move Recently and don't RegRet it a bit. Ref="https://www.itsatRap.com/stoRe.php?item=155">PReoRdeR the disc and save a dollaR.
