Three months ago or so, back when it was first announced that SubPop had signed Swedish act Loney, Dear, I sent off a batch of questions to LD mainman Emil Svanängen. It took some time, but Emil finally got around to answering and here's what he had to say:
Tell me how the Sub Pop deal came about.
We played the SXSW in march 2006 and the rumours reached all the way to Seattle I guess.
I've been told a few of the details, but what should we expect from the new relationship?
They dont burn CDs and send them by the mailman when they get home from a tour. No, seriously, I think they seem to be great people and I'm really looking forward to it. I'll meet them for the first time when we play the Bowery Ballroom on Wednesday. [that's tonight btw]
What makes you think you're a good fit for the label?
I think they pick up good music, with a twist. That might come in handy for us.
What else are you up to right now? What is currently inspiring you?
I'm remixing and re-recording some old records to get them out on distributors when the time is right for that. Doing some writing and recording for the coming up album "Dear John". I'm always inspired by great bass melodies.
Tell me about the future. Where do you see yourself one year from now? Are you trying to progress in any certain direction?
I hope towards even more full-colour swingy music. I guess you'll see us on tour!

The Tarantula Waltz may sound like a scary band name, but they really aren't scary at all. A little dark perhaps, but that's about it. If you were expecting Halloween frights, sorry - not gonna happen. The band, the brainchild of Swedish singer/songwriter markus Svensson, recently completed work on their new album "A waltz" at Roth Händle Studio with producer/engineer mattias Olsson (Änglagård, Pineforest Crunch, Nanook of the North, etc.) and is looking for a home. If you were blown away by mattias' work on his own record as Two Times the Trauma like I was, you'll love this. It's just filled with all sorts of clever little details, absolutely begging for the headphone treatment. I've been fortunate enough to offer up this one track to you today, but you can also hear three more at myspace.com/tarantulapromosite" target=_blank>myspace. Now who's gonna put it out?
The Tarantula Waltz - Two arrows
Returning to work on monday after taking an extended 4-day weekend means it's time to play catch-up once again. To help with the transition, I'm letting Simon Tagestam handle today's mp3 post:
The Honeydrips' song production has been, to put it mildly, sporadic. Their one and only band member mikael Carlsson is also part of Dorotea, who have at least released an album, along with some EPs. So far The Honeydrips have sung entirely in English, but this song (that can be found on their website) is in their native language (Swedish, that is). The Honeydrips have done some other great songs too, "The trouble with the Neo-Nazis" being a personal favourite, but "Ah Karolin" sounds so different from anything else that's on offer at the moment that I can't stop listening to it. It reminds me a bit of monica Zetterlund or some other songs that take me back to my childhood. I guess it's not, but it really comes across as a cover of some nugget from the 70s. It's a super cosy song.
UPDATE: read the comments for more about this song and where it's from.
