As much as I was looking forward to the new Britta Persson album "Top quality bones and a little terrorist", I'm a little iffy on the final result, but I suspect that's at least partially due to me not spending enough time with it. I fully planned on listening to it thoroughly during the long drives on my recent vacation, I just never felt inspired to put it on. There's certainly a few standout tracks such as "Winter tour" (the first single), "You are not my boyfriend" (the song I've posted today and the second single) and, one of my personal favorites, the sour and downkey "Oh how wrong". The raw emotion and sparse arrangement makes that one a winner in my book. So it's not as if I don't like the record at all, I guess I just don't like it as much as I expected to, or at least not yet. Britta is certainly a strong songwriter and she possesses a charming lilt to her voice. The work she's done with fellow Swedish singer/songwriter Kristofer Åström has been amazing (including the song they sing together on the new record). So you see, there's a lot to like despite my grumpy naysaying. I strongly suspect it will grow on me. Of course, you don't have to listen to me repeatedly contradict myself to form an opinion - download the song and listen for yourself.
Britta Persson - You are not my boyfriend
Sidestepping from yesterday's post on the damaged no-wave of Knife and Ape, today I bring you the damaged new-wave of BLLTPRF CPD (nee Bulletproof Cupid). When you hear this stuff, the punk-influence claims of other new-wavish acts like The Sounds or Surferosa will seem laughable. They just sound so damn tame in comparison to the furious energy of these dudes. The track I've posted today is much, much more guitar-heavy than a lot of the other, more keyboard driven songs on the record, so my "new-wave" label might seem a bit misleading at first. The band probably does have more in common with the noiserock of old Boner Records bands like Steel Pole Bath Tub or Star Pimp than, say Blondie, but whatever - gotta start somewhere. Besides, don't synths usually equal new-wave? Anyhow, if any of the other Trewetha bands such as I Love You Baby! or The State of Floral Beings piqued your interest, you'll definitely be into this as well. It's in a similar vein, but still with a unique sound of their own. Dig it.

Not music related, but very important to the arts: legendary cinematographer Sven Nykvist has passed away at the age of 83. Considered by many to be one of the all-time greats in his field, Nykvist is probably best known for his tremendous body of work with director Ingmar Bergman. RIP - he will be missed.
