Les jolies Suédoises réchauffent les cœurs de l'Internationale Pop sur un deuxième album épatant.

han tenido que pasar tres años para que las suecas liechtenstein publiquen su segundo álbum, "fast forward", después de aquel delicioso "survival strategies in a modern world" de 2009.  continúan trabajando ese indie pop luminoso con toques de post-punk minimalista, que acompañan con unas letras cada vez más críticas con la indolencia social de su país, como bien muestran títulos como "no idealists left" o "heads on golden plates".

Den första singeln från skivan är Ambitions. Har man tidigare lyssnat på bandet kommer man känna igen sig, framför allt när det [...]

Liechtenstein is one of my favourite bands, and it makes me so so so happy to hear that their new album, “fast forward” is out these days on Fraction Discs! I haven’t heard the full 11-track album yet, but according to the label, this album “is a pop gem filled with catchy post punk, jangly guitars, trumpets, piano and vocal harmonies, all arranged and produced with a sensitive touch. The production is crispier than before, emphasizing the vocals and putting focus on the lyrics.” … →

Think I’ve been quite disciplined recently and done my best deleting mails from the inbox. Still the number has now reached and rapidly surpassed 10,000! Ten-thousand (or 10,103 to be exact)! Suck on that for a moment. If I spent one minute on each, it would take me a little more than 168 hours or exactly a week checking them all. So if you’re still awaiting a reply; forget about it and move on… As always one of the big challenges, when your mailbox is cluttered like this, is to spot the important ones from the ...

Something incredibly effervescent about the Gothenburg femme trio Liechtenstein's approach to melding Orange Juice funk guitar in a post-punk world to the Dolly Mixture/Girls At Our Best school of girls somehow doing things differently with the same tools as the boys. Their second album Fast Forward is out next week and three years after their debut it showcases a confidence in the limberness of their playing and harmonies alike.

This independent band of post-rockers have been going from strength to strength since they formed in 2008, from performing with For a Minor Reflection and Soundspell to winning the Studio Sýrland/Rás 2 summer competition. And now they have bagged themselves a deal with German label Kapitan Platte after releasing their fine debut album Ólgusjór! We caught up with the band and demanded an explanation. Hello Lockerbie! What are you up today? Hello IMX! This day is actually coming to an end and it has been a really busy, but a great day. After work we usually meet up for ...

Note : Blogger m'a demandé de retirer les liens MP3 qui figuraient dans cet article. C'est un peu embêtant, mais ça ne doit pas nous enlever notre belle humeur pour autant. Et puisqu'on ne peut rien faire contre Pascal Nègre et ses sbires, j'ai remplacé les mp3 par des liens de streaming vers Youtube, Bancdamp, Soundcloud ou autres. Toutes mes confuses, et bonne écoute tout de même ! Ce blog n'est que la partie émergée de notre activité.

Presenting Anthemic : a collection of abstract interpretations of various obscure, entertaining, odd, or otherwise intriguing national anthems.

Creado en 2005 Liechtenstein es un grupo de chicas originarias de Gothenburg que tras una seguidilla de 7´s y CDR iniciáticos editan “Survival Strategies in a Modern World” (2009) un disco de pop pegajoso con claras reminiscencias al sonido c-86 en el que estas señoritas se lucen con sobresalientes armonías vocales en un álbum que por su corta duración te deja con ganas de más, ese quizás sea el único pero que le encuentro a “Survival Strategies in a Modern World” es demasiado corto, no sé si es algo intencional o que será, me hubiera gustado que si la ...
