Preview a new track from Norwegian act Kakkmaddafakka: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6oar6Rw9AA
The band has just finished a new album with producers Kåto Ådland (Sondre Lerche) and Erlend Øye (Kings of Convenience, this is his first producer credit) which will be released via Erlend/The Whitest Boy Alive's label "Bubbles" sometime later this year. They will also be premiering much of the new material at their upcoming by:Larm live appearances where hopefully it'll sound much better than the tepid mush that is on display in that video.
Finnish act Boomhauer will play their final show on April 7 at TVO in Turku. They say: "Everything comes to end and now it was a good time for the band to quit before things got ugly, tired and jaded and before we lost our friendship or the good memories about the band. So it's all good." Makes sense to me!
