The Bear Quartet/The Skull Defekts
Millions 7"
Deleted Art/Adrian Recordings
The one track missing from the vinyl release of "89" gets a platter all its own, paired with a cover of the same by Göteborg noiseniks The Skull Defekts and released on the imprint of malmö-based . Though The Bear Quartet has toned down the antagonistic experimentalism that peaked with 2006's "Eternity now", the lyrical sentiment remains pure contempt, as is most often the case with latter-day BQ tracks featuring words penned by mr. mattias Alkberg. Needless to say, I love it, especially when they pair their anger with a refined, stripped-down postpunk approach as is on display here. As for the flip, The Skull Defekts don't remake the track as much as you might expect, though they do amplify the noise and aggression quotient, taking the sublime and turning it darkly sinister. Less subtle, to be sure, but no less effective. Not sure about the pressing numbers, but the glued jacket and heavy black dustsleeve make it a package worth possessing.

Faster Katt - Strange candy (video)
Can't say that there's a direct link between the lyrics of "Strange candy" and the plot of Werner Herzog's "Even dwarfs started small", but I don't care. Good band, good song, worth watching. Direct link: m/watch?v=Se4bWvWZtem" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se4bWvWZtem
Imperial State Electric record new mini-album, will tour in October
Imperial State Electric has recorded six songs for an upcoming mini-album to be released on 10" vinyl along with CD/download. No release date yet, but the band is mixing it now and trying to get it out ASAP. Otherwise, keep an eye out for European tour dates to be announced for October.
HighWon - Från hjärtat (video)
Yet another new Swedish hip-hop track featuring a chorus with autotune abuse. Also, very disappointing to see them perpetuating stupid gangster clichés such as aggressive pitbulls and the like. These dudes are way more talented than this; I expect far better.

MP3: Mindy Misty - Volcano sea
Yes, I am a total sucker for noisy indierock, especially if it has a distinct 90s bent, and Norway's mindy misty fit that bill to a tee. Not that I want to get all grumpy-old-man about it, but I like what I like and there's no getting around it and this stuff goes straight to the heart. Anyhow, they've apparently been kicking around for awhile already since the upcoming record "Generic communion" will be their 3rd release (due out September 6 via their own ), but this is the first I've heard of them and I'm way, way into it. They've got tons of thick Sonic Youth-esque harmonies and when they combine it with that oh-so-Scandinavian sense of melody, they can't lose. Give me slightly buried vocals and a hard-driving rhythm section on top of that and I'm sold. Easy and done! So if you dig KVLR, early motorpsycho, Unwound, Dinosaur Jr., etc etc... you will be into this. And you should.
New music from Dogsmile (ex-Camouflage)
Dogsmile, the band founded by three ex-members of Swedish postpunk act Camouflage (aka Tapirerna/The Tapirs), hasn't released anything since their 1995 album "Hey, I just wanna say hello", but now they're back and have a bunch of new tracks on myspace: myspace.com/dogsmileswe" target="_blank">https://www.myspace.com/dogsmileswe
Definitely does not sound like the old stuff, but still worth checking out I think. Also, speaking of Camouflage, the excellent Swedish postpunk blog Tonkraft recently came back to life with an old live set from the band's later period -- check it out: m/2010/08/camouflage-1988-live-i-umea.html" target="_blank">https://tonkraft-sr.blogspot.com/2010/08/camouflage-1988-live-i-umea.html
