Finland's Damn Seagulls are working on new material for their second album, but probably won't have anything ready for release until next fall. Lauri says that "the new stuff is mostly composed with piano and it seems to be more orchestratic and rich in melodies. I think it'll be a step further in many ways." The Sirdie Horns, Aki Päivärinne (alto saxophone) and Martti Vesala (trumpet), will be joining the band in rehearsals shortly as well.
The Dusted 'Still Single' column gives high praise to the Skitkids and also reviews the latest 7" from Finland's Karri O.: https://www.dustedmagazine.com/features/428

Quoteth IAT contributor Jason Christie:
Either way it is immaterial when we put "Mopeds + Review" in the same bracket - you see, you'll know The Mopeds are no upstarts. It can be said they’re a well respected non-Stockholm band. They feature majestic trombonist and everyone's favourite producer/horn player Jens Lindgård (Bob Hund, The Cardigans, Eggstone, Tom Jones, Roxette, Ulf Lundell, St. Etienne, and many more. More recently you have heard them play with the band David & the Citizens and Damn!). Just Google "Jens Lindgård" for a long list of credits. The new disc, what's the deal?
No bloody idea. Have not listened!
Let's guess. The lazy taglines have them alongside fellow Pågs Brainpool and Eggstone, but we know The Mopeds will have gone all McFly on us instead! Mopeds parked up outside the US embassy of radio pop, MTV indie but then with attention to detail "Fortissimo" won't be knocked. They occupy peer status – check that list up above again.
"Fortissimo" will be fast, it'll be furious, it'll mess with your days and fill your nights. That's if you are done with first and second albums "The hills are alive with the sound of mopeds" or "The land of the three" - because without listening, rest assured the review will read positive. There are some things you can rely on.
Couldn't have said it much better myself, and I've actually heard the damn thing. Download a choice track from "Fortissimo" over on the right.
Tons of new content posted this weekend! We've got new reviews, a new (but really old) interview and yes, even a new podcast mix. Check 'em out.
