Cecilia Nordlund has been a prominent Swedish artist for a long time, dating back to the mid-90s and her bands Souls to monkeystrikes in 2005 and (hopefully) myspace.com/cecilianordlund" target="_blank">her upcoming solo album. There's also that m/watch?v=2PHldcXJNhI" target="_blank">one song she did with marit Bergman that ending up as sort of a minor international indie hit, but in leiu of new material to share, I'd rather focus on monkeystikes. The band only released one record, but it's a great one. Songs such as opener "Tahonga take away" build on the heavier alt-rock sound of her previous act (think: Pixies, Breeders, etc.), tempering it with a more sophisticated lyrical approach. It's a busy song and they manage to fit a lot in these two short minutes. Surprisingly dynamic too- listen for the small nuances that differentiate the verses, taking it beyond the typical verse-chorus/soft-loud approach. Obviously, that aspect is still present, but it's less obvious/clichéd. Every time I hear this I think, "why don't I listen to monkeystrikes more often?" So far the best answer I can come up with is that I'm a fool.
Monkeystrikes - Tahonga take away

Gbg-based avant/experimental label Kning Disk, one of my favorite labels both for their music and sense of design, has signed a new distro deal with Dotshop.
metal mind Productions will reissue the debut album "Penetralia" from Swedish death-metal legends Hypocrisy in a new expanded remastered edition featuring two bonus tracks. It will be available on may 12 in Europe, July 8 in the US. Said record was originally released way back in 1992 and immediately hailed as a classic of the genre.
