MP3: Text - Those kids are gone
Happy Friday everyone! This week's flashback post belongs to matt Giordano:
For my first mp3 posting of an older track I chose "Those kids are gone" by Text. For those who are unaware, Text was a collective featuring most of the Refused members (Dennis being the one absent). Whilst most of the disc is spoken word, this track really sticks out. Not only is it the catchiest song on the record, but also because of its production quality. It's one of the rawest acoustic tracks I have ever heard, and David Sandström's melody is quite beautiful. And since this track was only performed by him, it, at the time, was giving you hints at what to expect from his solo work, as well as David Sandström Overdrive.
The whole album used to be available for free download monbox.com/text" target=_blank>at the Demonbox site, but the links are broken. However, you can still go there to read more about the band.

MP3: Existensminimum - Changing lines
The new Existensminimum album with the long, clumsy title "Last night my head tried to explode and I wrote everything down" surprised me. I didn't have a lot of expectations, but I never imagined that it would end up to be such a lush pop symphony. I suppose it makes perfect sense since Existensminimum mainman magnus Henriksson made a name for himself as an engineer and producer before releasing this debut solo album. (He's also well-known for being moneybrother's live drummer, but that's less important in this context) I know that the single "Changing lines" has already been circulated a bit, but it makes sense as the track immediately jumps out with its strong, soaring melodies and driving bass line. The rest of the record is less straightforward and more sonically adventurous, so it's a bit tougher to pick outstanding moments. I think that's a good thing though - it proves the music has lasting value. There's a ton of earcandy to absorb, so grab your headphones and dig in.

A digital release of those two tracks will also come on June 7.
Jonatan and micke have left the band Emerald Park, but the rest of the band is continuing on with recording a new album under the tutelage of Ola from moonbabies. I've been fortunate enough to hear two songs and it sounds damn good. maybe I'll get permission to share one of them with you someday.
