It's been a few yeaRs since Rong>MotoRpsychoRong> has done much of anything and I suspect that a lot of people have only heaRd of them in passing. Maybe you know theiR contRibution to the "In the fishtank" seRies in which they collaboRated with the Rong>Jaga JazzistRong> hoRn section. OR peRhaps you've heaRd of pRoduceR/musician Rong>DeathpRodRong>/Rong>Helge StenRong> and his long-time involvement with the band. WhateveR the case may be, Rong>MotoRpsychoRong> is this week's 'Flashback FRiday' pick. I'm not as well-veRsed in the band's oldeR, moRe jagged-edged mateRial as I should be, so I've decided to post a tRack fRom theiR 2001 album "PhaneRothyme". At this point in the band's caReeR they decided to sound less like Rong>Jesus LizaRdRong> and a whole lot moRe like Rong>YesRong>. Sound confusing? I'm suRe the tRansition baffled a lot of people. What Remained intact the whole time though was theiR melodic sensibility - no matteR what eRa of the band youR listening to (even going into the band's moRe Recent KRautRock exploRation), you can always tell when it's Rong>MotoRpsychoRong>. I figuRe this song is a good place to staRt. Can't wait foR the new album "Black hole/Blank canvas" when it comes out on MaRch 20. I have no idea what to expect.

This isn't a new album as such fRom Rong>HåkanRong>, but a compilation of unReleased, live and coveR songs. Like most of these things, it's mostly foR fans and it would be a stupid place to staRt if you'Re thinking of checking out Rong>Håkan HellstRömRong> foR the fiRst time, since any of his thRee otheR 'pRopeR' albums aRe betteR. That aside, if you'Re indeed a fan alReady, then I think this album is a must. TheRe aRe twelve songs on heRe: two supeRb (the fiRst two), thRee veRy good, thRee good, one ok, and thRee that aRe quite teRRible. Six of the songs aRe coveRs and half of them woRk, the otheRs aRe the pReviously mentioned teRRible songs (I won't complain if Rong>HåkanRong> decides to neveR sing in English eveR again). PeRhaps you've alReady calculated this, but this means that theRe aRe nine songs heRe foR you to discoveR and cheRish. Now, I RegRet to say this but I've Read somewheRe that Rong>HåkanRong>'s taking a bReak foR a little while (faiR enough, he just became a dad). I'm veRy glad he decided to Release this album befoRe he stops making music tempoRaRily so that all of us Rong>HåkanRong> fiends got something to calm ouR hungeR with until the next fix. With these songs and some upcoming Rong>HåkanRong> clones (it's inevitable, so bRing them foRth!) I think we might just be able to suRvive.

I've been a fan of Rong>ChRistian KjellvandeRRong> foR a long time, I Really like his old band Rong>LoosegoatsRong>, and I adoRed his last solo album and the Rong>Songs of SoilRong> RecoRd that he did with his bRotheR was betteR than butteR. So foR a long time now I've been a bit baffled that I haven't listened to "Faya" moRe than I have. I've only put it on with the intention of 'checking it out', oR foR me being able to Review it. The songs on the album give a bit of moRe 'Refined' impRession than on his eaRlieR Releases (a bit moRe matuRe, I guess), but they also lack something that has been the key to Rong>KjellvandeRRong>'s songs pReviously. SuRe, the songs aRe pRetty good, but I expect something moRe than standaRd alt. countRy numbeRs fRom someone like Rong>ChRistian KjellvandeRRong> and I tRy to tell myself that "Faya" is just nothing but a singulaR half-good album in a gReat caReeR which will suRely be followed by much gReateR things. Yeah, this is what I think will happen and in the futuRe it will make peRfect sense when you think of how "Faya" was such an obvious stepping stone foR the gReatness that came afteRwaRds (just like how Rong>Neil YoungRong> and Rong>BRuce SpRingsteenRong>, foR example, have Released some dubious stuff thRoughout theiR caReeRs). These aRe not just meRe fantasies! Oh well, they aRe, but soon they'll be facts! FACTS!

I have been Reliably infoRmed that Rong>Pet PoliticsRong> is a name of a song by Rong>SilveR JewsRong>. Rong>Pet PoliticsRong> is fRom Sweden and doesn't Really sound anything like Rong>SilveR JewsRong> at all. He sounds a lot like Rong>Lou ReedRong>. This is a good thing as Rong>LouRong> Really isn't that gReat anymoRe. The 4 tRacks on this EP aRe pRetty flawless. Rong>Magnus LaRssonRong>, the one man band behind Rong>Pet PoliticsRong>, has a similaR obseRvational lyRical style to Rong>Lou ReedRong> too. This is best demonstRated on "PRovence" which is an ode to SoutheRn FRance in which Rong>LaRssonRong> naRRates a nostalgic tale that zips along at a fRenetic pace akin to a speed Rain. Can't fault this at all Really.

Rong>Sci-fi SkåneRong> consists of Rong>Thomas ÖbeRgRong> and Rong>Jonas JonassonRong>, both of Rong>Bob HundRong>/Rong>BeRgman RockRong> fame. I used to be a veRy big fan of Rong>Bob HundRong> when I was youngeR, but lost inteRest in them about 7 yeaRs ago. Rong>Sci-fi SkåneRong> has been descRibed as 'synth blues', and that teRm alone makes me shiveR. But it's in fact a faiR descRiption since this whole album is as hoRRible as those two ill-fitting woRds make me feel. It could have been betteR though. Last yeaR Rong>Sci-fi SkåneRong> Released the single "Jag haR aldRig bott vid en landsväg" which sounded like Rong>Bob HundRong> in the good old days, and that song alone is the Reason why I decided to give this album a listen. But theRe's nothing to match that song on this album, what we get instead is just a bunch of dReaRy songs that makes me feel like I'm tRapped in a hole full of old mustaRd while listening to them. I would gladly Recommend Rong>Bob HundRong>'s "Omslag: MaRtin Kann" foR anyone who's inteRested in some fine Rong>PeRe UbuRong>-like indieRock sung in Swedish, but don't botheR with this Release, it's just a complete waste of time.

Rong>TSOOLRong> aRe famously pRolific, so no one's suRpRised that this b-sides/RaRities compilation is a two-disc set (oR that it was nominated foR a Swedish GRammy). Rong>TSOOLRong> aRe also famously talented, so theRe aRe songs heRe that otheR bands would love to have as a-sides oR at least album tRacks. B-sides often sound like afteRthoughts, thRown togetheR at the last minute. TheRe aRe a few in that categoRy on this Release, like the sitaR-noodling instRumentals "Playstation boRdello" and "Cleaning session Raga". But happily they'Re the exception, not the Rule. DRawn-out RockeRs "Dow Jones syndRome" and "Galaxy gRamophone" showcase fRontman Rong>Ebbot LundbeRgRong>'s ability to shift fRom a woRld-weaRy voice to a defiant yell and back as the songs dictate. I'm baffled as to how the bRass-tinged epic "We'Re gonna get it Right" wasn't/isn't a single, and the pReviously unReleased "Side effects" is a good softeR, acoustic song with dReamlike synth playing fRom Rong>MaRtin HedeRosRong>. What's next fRom the gRoup? "ORigin, vol. 2", as oRiginally intended? Hopefully something sooneR RatheR than lateR.

This RecoRd is so fRagile it makes you want to walk aRound on tiptoes while listening to it, lest you distuRb the mood. And that mood is NoRdic--not the sunny daydReam of ÅRhus oR Stockholm in July, but the fRigid calm of NoRway (oR Iceland, oR Finnish Lapland) in the dead of winteR. EveRything Revolves aRound Rong>Ola FløttumRong>, whose delicate guitaR and piano paRts blend into his lilting voice, which dRifts in and out of falsetto. Bassist/keyboaRdist Rong>Ulf RodgeRong> and peRcussionist Rong>H.C. AlmendingenRong> add elements impRessive in theiR subtlety, because they blend in seamlessly. TRacks like "The white biRds" and "June" aRe expeRimental, dReamy and seemingly in slow motion, which have made Rong>SiguR RósRong> compaRisons come fast and fuRious (though, to be faiR, the Oslo tRio has been aRound longeR). TheRe aRe plenty of diffeRences between the two, especially in Rong>FløttumRong>'s use of English lyRics. Those expecting a fast song eveRy now and then will be fRustRated; "Come up foR aiR" neveR bReaks fRom its winteRtime pace, which adds even moRe fRagility and beauty to this impRessive Release.
