David Åhlén kicks off his US tour tonight in NYC so I've got the a-side from his new single "Wasted breaths" for you to hear. Big ups to his label Compunctio for being gracious enough to share.
When I heard that David was abandoning his Namur moniker and heading in a more acoustic direction, I was braced for disappointment. Would his music still succeed minus the lush shoegazer artifice? Thankfully, yes, it does. David is a strong, passionate vocalist and fittingly, he lets his voice carry the material. Two chords is all he needs. Go see him live, I'll be at the Seattle show for sure:
05/24 - Pianos, NYC
05/25 - Pianos, NYC

David Åhlén - Wasted breaths
making the decision to record with Steve Albini means making a massive vote of confidence in your band's abilities because if you suck, it will be painfully obvious. On the other hand, Steve's documentarian recording technique makes good live bands sound amazing - check out the Jesus Lizard back-catalog or even Nirvana's "In utero" for hard proof. Fun is reportedly the first Finnish band to ever record with Steve at his Electrical Audio studio in Chicago and it was obviously a wise decision. musically, Fun has long worshipped at the altar of Albini and other classic Touch & Go bands playing in the m/define.php?term=pigfuck" target=_blank>pigfuck style, so the partnership makes perfect sense. Caustic, white-noise guitars, freight-train bass, hard-hitting drums and totally damaged vocals - yep, that's the blueprint. "I've got a truck" simmers and seethes over the course of its five minutes, slowly coalescing into a steamroller of a track. Once the guitar drop-tunes and joins with the chugging, it's a monster. Slow, deliberate and crushing. This is the sound I grew up with. This is my rock'n'roll.
Fun - I've got a truck
