This time the ghost brings you a little crossover junction called “Warcollapse!” This track will take you to the dark techno side of town on an old school t-34 tank driven by Cleopatra Jones, a little more tech than banger. This is the first track in a series of four on a special theme celebrating some great landmarks of time and the spirit of keeping it on the wrong side of train tracks. |

Music & Lyrics: Printer Produced by Printer Original artwork taken from the video “You Need To” directed by Anders Weberg (recycled.se) Layout and additional artwork by Annette Persson (inspired by Kalle Magnusson / studio1982.com Remix by Andreas Tilliander (3) The Band: Mads Hein, Lars Pellarin, Thomas Nørreby, Mikkel Hein Printer is a band that knows how to write heart aching pop songs but tired of staring down un empty glass they rise their arms and dance trough there sorrows. It’s electronic pop music at its best. And it’s got power and depth. ”You Need To” is the second single from Printers’ hypnotic album “Can You take More?”. The perfect mix for body and soul, megabits and cells. Also featured on the single is a demo version of the track “Around the Bridges”. It is interesting to hear the evaluation the track has made from this demo version to the version on the album “Can You Take More?”. Here is the core of the song. It’s a beautiful thing in itself. Andreas Tilliander is one of Europe’s most occupied and respected electronic musicians. Here he has taken a weird fetish approach on the Printer track “Nightclub”. |

“Greetings, D!” - A new track from Dmitry Fyodorov saying hello to the D. So what does D stand for? Is it dance, destruction, drunkenness, death, doing it or Dadaism? Or can it be a tribute to the controversial Sergeant D? Founder of the non-profit organization "People for the Ethical Treatment of Zombies" (PETZ), working to ending the injustices that zombies worldwide have had to endure for ages. A great cause for the undead, like Dmitry Fyodorov - bringer of havoc on dance floors and undeadliness. This is the fourth cool track of 2008, featuring roundhouse kick percussion and wicked cut-up rave vocals. |

To finish it off we released the last single “Huvudet i sanden” together with no less than 11 remixes, from the top of the smorgasbord. We let Johan Söderberg make a video for the track. The last one won a Grammis and we payed him 2000 SEK for that one, so we really wanted to give him free hands on the sequel. And we where not dissapointed. This video is another scary masterpiece. 2. Kasper Bjørke - The danish super star! 3. Krazy Fiesta - Party crew responsible for the amazing “Lip Gloss” remix 4. Adam Tensta - The savior for Swedish Hip Hop! 5. Mike Downey - This American prodigy living in Stockholm puts a German beat to it. So international. 6. Perfume Uniform - Acoustic guitars in electronic music? But of course! Excellent dreamy version. 7. The Field - Best selling debut album on Kompakt says it all. 2007 was The Fields year all over. 8. pluxus - Familjen-Johan says this sounds like if you have smoked too much weed and just lie there vomiting your guts out. Nice one! 9. Boeoes Kaelstigen - Already a legendary remix on the dance floors. Straight from STHLM subway. More than one have pointed these guys the future of techno. 10. Tomi Kiiosk - Hässleholm - Finland. Well yeah? Why not! 11. DJ Wool - One half of NYC party machine The Glass. Glen Brady - king of the skate board, booze and hustle. 12.

Dmitry Fyodorov returns after 20 years and 2 month of havoc dance disaster with this, the third track of 2008. "Signal" - is a track based on signal communications with Dmitry Fyodorov’s restless soul that was received through some serious black magic that would even make the short guy in Abruptum (the man that goes by the name of ‘It’ because he is too evil to have a real name!) go bananas. Watch out, this is evil magic stuff; it will destroy both dance floors and hockey rinks. |

The second track in Dmitry Fyodorov’s shocking series of bangers 2008 takes us back to the cold war. “1987” is a tribute of the same year. The year when Soviet met Canada in Canada Cup. At this time Soviet hockey players weren't allowed to play in the NHL, so the Russian players went over to Canada to show the rest of the world how to play a noble game of hockey . Sadly Soviet lost the game, but the game is considered one of the best hockey games every played by some experts. A true showcase of great hockey. |

Music & Lyrics: Printer Produced by Printer Mastered by Andreas Tilliander Original artwork by Stefan Mylleager Photo by Mads Teglers Layout and additional artwork by Kalle Magnusson / studio1982.com The Band: Mads Hein, Lars Pellarin, Thomas Nørreby, Mikkel Hein This is Printers’s first album release on Adrian Recordings. On this album the band has taken a more dirty and danceable, say techno, approach, although still maintaining the emotional and intellectual focus. It’s music to be moved by whether it’ll be on the dance floor or in your couch. It’s electronic pop music at its best. And it’s got power and depth. The many live performances that preceded this album shows in the work. Or as the band explains “We simply had more beers in the studio and we never danced so much as during the making of this record.” However if this is their cheeriest moment, you might feel worried for the mental health of the members, because this is dance music of the moody kind, ostensibly purveyed by fellow Scandinavians the Knife: a fog of melancholy surrounds their lithe beats and blippy synthesizer melodies, making it the perfect album to linger with you for a long time. Most of the record's cuts, like the Auto-Tune enhanced "Satisfaction" and the swirly "All Right", offer a baroque take on 21st-century new wave but there is always a techno background to it. To amplify the beat we’re finishing the album with Boeoes Kaelstigen’s Microsievert Remix of the Printer track “I Swear” (the original can be found on the Printer album “I Can Take More” out on Statler & Waldorf) a collaboration made in thin, high radioactive air. The album is already appointed one of the best albums of the year by Earplug magazine and so far we haven’t seen one bad review. |

Every 29th of 2008 Adrian Recordings will release a new track by Dmitry Fyodorov. The year starts off with 1b-1. Dmitry Fyodorov - once a successful attack player in HC CSKA Moscow that mysteriously disappeared after an accident on the ice. Now, nearly 30 years later, his soul has returned in the form of dark, distorted house music to bring havoc to dance floors across the globe. 1b-1 combines the harshness and rudety of the French scene but bangs in a tighter and even a more melodic side to it. 1b-1 can be the end of the genre that combines distorted baselines with Depeche Mode’s chimer. We are killing the scene with Dmitry Fyodorov. |

Familjen took us by storm and then the whole world followed. By the time the single with the same name as the album was released, Familjen was not just for a few. The grapevine had travelled through the world like a forest fire. Setting the internet on overload. The reason is this song and the accompanying video that you can check HERE. On this vinyl single you find a radio edit. Convenient in many ways, just as funky. The B – Side is an exclusive new track called “Feber”. Only featured on this release. On lead vocals, Ninsun Poli with the house arm up in the air and the house piano ready steady kicking on the dance floor, just like the 90’s all over again.

Music & lyrics: Anna Vermina, Frida Vermina Produced by Mathias Oldén & Gustaf Kjellvander Mixed by Mathias Oldén Mastered by Norman Blake Design: Hanna Sundén Cover illustrations: Malin Svärd Artist: Gustaf Kjellvander Extra musicians: Dan Englund, Mathias Oldén, Joachim Leksell, Johan Hansson Gustaf Kjellvander A.K.A. ”The Fine Arts Showcase” has made a cover album solely based on songs originally written and performed by the Swedish lo-fi group “Rough Bunnies”. The album, which was released in the early summer of 2007 is accordingly named “The Fine Arts Showcase Sings Rough Bunnies”. This is the second single; the first one was the lovely “Dance With Your Shadow”. ”Modern Love! Is an immediate and intimate song about ”one night stands”. Straight forward and head on! No macho style or with an ironic glimpse in the eye just a deep look in someone else’s eyes and then a stranger’s hand in yours. The cover version creates a queer angle to the narrative persona. No theories, just emotions. “The Fine Arts Showcase” has always been all about emotions and outspokenness. As well as all the other tracks on the album, Gustaf approaches the “Rough Bunnies” songs in his own way. He doesn’t rearrange them, he doesn’t interpret them, he is singing them as if they where his own compositions. In some cases you can’t even be sure that, that is not the case; some of the songs are without a doubt with him in center. It is about love to each other, between each other, close but volatile. Sometimes too late sometimes all too intense, too narrow, but always out of time. Accompanying this song ” Robinovich” has made a fantastic music video that anyone with an internet connection can’t miss: Check here The video really captures the warm but tickling feeling in the song. This is a very physical video in chaotic slow motion. |

The Band: Mads Hein, Lars Pellarin, Thomas Nørreby, Mikkel Hein This is the first release from Adrian Recordings with Danish Printer. After 3 releases in Denmark and Japan, Printer is now crossing the canal to Sweden and the word, with this 5 track EP. It’s an appetizer and a state of art. Two tracks from the upcoming album “I Can Take More”, two tracks from the bands first album “Rhizomatic Baby” (released in Denmark on Statler & Waldorf) and one live track that you can’t find elsewhere. On recent works the band has taken a more dirty and danceable; say techno, approach, although still maintaining the emotional and intellectual focus.

Music & lyrics: Anna Vermina, Frida Vermina (1-7, 9-11) Music & lyrics: Anders Vermina (8) Produced by Mathias Oldén & Gustaf Kjellvander Mixed by Mathias Oldén Mastered by Norman Blake Design: Hanna Sundén Cover illustrations: Malin Svärd Artist: Gustaf Kjellvander Extra musicians: Dan Englund, Mathias Oldén, Joachim Leksell, Johan Hansson This is an album of many stories. Gustaf Kjellvander and his friends forming The Fine Arts Showcase, has made a cover album, entirely based on songs from the Swedish, rather unknown, jangly, lo-fi band Rough Bunnies. Why is that? Let’s make Gustaf himself explain: “I was first introduced to Anna Vermina and her cousin Frida, the founding members of Rough Bunnies and Inside Riot, through mutual friends. Frida gave me a CD-R just days before they were about to move to Berlin. About six months later I was looking for someone to rent my spare room. I bumped into Frida by chance, who told me she had moved back from Berlin to Malmö and needed a place to stay – so she moved in. I was already smitten by Inside Riot at this time, and when Frida played me the songs they had recorded in Berlin, along with the Rough Bunnies record C-sides, it blew me away. I played it to everyone who came over to my house. They became an obsession that carries on to this day. I knew I wanted the Fine Arts Showcase to cover their songs. The problem was that with a catalogue of songs as amazing as theirs it was hard to pick just one, so I came up with the idea that we should do an entire record instead (in the Merle Haggard sings Jimmy Rodgers tradition). And here it is: a musical love letter to two of my favorite songwriters, a celebration of the pop geniuses of the Vermina family. Rough Bunnies (and their twin group Inside Riot) have inspired me more than any other band this side of the millennium and this record is my way of thanking them. ROUGH BUNNIES SAVED MY LIFE.” - Gustaf Kjellvander The extra, on top of it all, twist to the album is that it is mastered by the legendary Mr Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub. That is another one of the stories involved. We were really frustrated there for awhile. The master was lost and we didn’t know what to do. All we could do was rolling out thumbs in despair and finally it all turned out excellent. The first regular single from the album was “Dance With Your Shadow”. |

These are exactly these kinds of projects that we love here at Adrian Recordings. First, what you hear have to be to notch, but that goes without saying, secondly, it doesn’t hurt if the release has this little twist and story to it. If you look carefully into every release we have done, you shall find that there is often something more to it. And this time we are so glad that Gustaf is doing it for us. This is the first single from the album “The Fine Arts Showcase Sings The Rough Bunnies”. Gustaf and his friends don’t denies the instant, frail lo-fi character of the original, but they twist it around, slows it down and really nourish the beauty of the song. The extra, on top of it all, twist to the album is that it is mastered by the legendary Mr Norman Blake. |

Made for the dance floor but with lyrics implying something broader. The second track “Det vet du” is harder, darker and builds up to a regular synth solo straight from Night Rider. The third track “Ordning” is exclusive for this single and a perfect instrumental track for racing through the night. |

Familjen was from this point our common project. We started off with a very special release. We was trying to take the concept of web releases one step further and really use the internet like a regular phonogram. The single was released via the new registrated site http://www.detsnurrariminskalle.com/hogluft/ (the name taken from the lyrics from the Familjen track “Ivanhoe & Rebecca”.) On there you find the art of artist Ljudbilden & Piloten (AKA Kristoffer Ström) and all the tracks for download, for free. Some of the tracks are hidden on purpose. The reason is that we try to change the way that people use the internet. By telling people that you will find seven tracks for free on the site if you search, we try to get people to stay longer on the site and really enjoy the art and the music that you find there. People tend to stay shorter and shorter on websites and the feeling is that web material is not so important. Besides being wonderful music and art it is also a statement towards the light-weight-look upon music and art that internet is creating. Upon that we also took the release out on the streets and into cafés and stores that we liked in Malmö, Göteborg and Stockholm by making a carton sleeve for the release. If you wanted to you could then make your own regular CD by downloading the tracks, burn it on a CD and put it in there. The sleeve also served as a flyer. Hög luft is an instrumental dance track both suitable for the dance floors and armchairs. Remixes differs, from The Fields minimal noise techno to the house of Air Bureau and Bauri, via an acid jazz feel of Fujasaki and the deep minimal dark trips of Mikael Stavöstrand. |

In classic Adrian Recordings’ manner we thought that we should give you something more than just a single. We took the opportunity to make a real ad hoc EP. An EP that opens up eMiL Jensens career and stretches the boundaries of his artistship. “Maj förra året” is the track that has been most motioned in reviews of the album, and yes it is memorable lyrics. “Gått mig i blodet” is right now considered the best track Emil ever recorded, and it has strength and edge. “Familjen himmel” sounds like something David Lynch would sync to a deserted forest; and it is also the only track released featuring his first solo band. Just to put two remixes on an eMiL Jensen release is quite offensive. My guess is that there is a crowd out there that can’t stand this; maybe I’m prejudiced towards his fans but…as always just listen. Do you like it? If no!? oh… Well… All others; take your car or bike and drive around with those in your ears. |

Music & lyrics: Gustaf Kjellvander except (2) Music & lyrics: Anna Vermina, Frida Vermina (2) Produced by Mathias Oldén & Gustaf Kjellvander Mixed by Mathias Oldén (2) Mixed by Pelle Gunnerfeldt at Gröndahl (1) Mastered by Henrik Jonsson at Masters of Audio (1) Mastered by Mathias Oldén (2) Design: Hanna Sundén Artist: Gustaf Kjellvander Extra musicians: Dan Englund, Benjamin Singer, Mathias Oldén This was the third single from The Fine Arts Showcase's second full-length album “Radiola”. “Danish Light” is a love song about singer/guitarist/songwriter Gustaf Kjellvanders and his girlfriend Hanna Sundéns' love. In a kind of Lou Reedish deadpan he talks us through a typical but very happy Malmö summer. A picnic in Peoples Park, and drinks at the bar Tempo along with making out at the western harbour and looking out to see all the lights of Copenhagen, are the central topics. While the music itself is more reminiscent of the softer side of early velvet Underground, Stereolab and The Flaming Lips...or as Hanna very accurately once said that the song sounded like Eggstone on heroin... “Modern Love” is a song written by the band Inside Riot (who later became The Rough Bunnies, The Flame etc.). Gustaf’s version is a celebration of the pop genius of Anna and Frida Vermina. The song is taken from the Inside Riot/Rough Bunnies tribute album "The Fine Arts Showcase sings the Rough Bunnies" (which should be called “The Fine Arts Showcase sings The Rough Bunnies and Inside Riot”) The story goes that Gustaf first heard this song when Frida was renting a room in Gustaf's apartment (2004) and they were trading songs. Gustaf had just played the song “Laughter” (also on “Radiola”) and Frida had said in her very soft voice: “I've also written a song about a one night stand”. Gustaf was amazed after Frida had finished. It was very clear that a brilliant song writing team had been at work. The seed for The Fine Arts Showcse sings The Rough Bunnies had just been planted. |

Music & lyrics: Emil Jensen except (1,7,8,9,) Lyrics: Emil Jensen (1,7,8,9,) Music: Emil Jensen & Marcus Cato (1,7,8,9,) Produced by Johan T Karlsson, Emil Jensen, Marcus Cato Recorded by Johan T Karlsson & Johan Osberg Lööf Mixed by Johan T Karlsson All done in studio Señorita & in Hässleholms Kulturhus Mastered by Henrik Jonsson at Masters of Audio Layout: Albin Balthasar Lundmark (Apdesajn) Photo: Paul Ström Artist: Emil Jensen Musicians: Marcus Cato, Edda Magnason, Julia Westberg, Rickard Flygel, Emeli Jeremias, Emil Heiling, Tomas Ebrelius This is the second full length album with eMiL Jensen. Prior to this release, Emil endured a very difficult period of his life. As a result; he tried to make a record that could comfort, not only him, but also his listeners. It is a record of deep melancholy but there is also lots of faith. The record is pervaded by the feeling of holding on to life, the struggle of keeping others to hold on, loose your guard and stand honest in front of life, love and your nearest; and not be afraid to be pretentious. The record takes you on a musical and lyrical journey over calm, beautiful and mysterious landscapes and villages. It tells you subtle stories about people and meetings. Sometimes with words but also with combining sounds and instruments in unholy marriages. The organic meets the machines on a poetic and political manifestation. If eMiL Jensen is a Swedish singer songwriter then he lives in the future and is a true pioneer. |

Music & lyrics: Johan T Karlsson Produced, mixed, recorded by Johan T Karlsson Mastered by Henrik Jonsson at Masters of Audio Design: Johan T Karlsson Artist: Johan T Karlsson Another legendary debut EP from Adrian Recordings. Familjen is Adrian Recordings’ demon producer. Responsible for many tweaks the last years, but this is at his best. When he just don’t give a damn and just brings us himself with power, groove and something almost close to warmth and tenderness. Johan is more a listener than a musician. He tries to do it as simple as possible; just adds a single melody and a groove and lay back and listen. As we all know the heart in the music doesn’t come from loneliness, it comes from the love of loving it and intensity; Johan has got it all. He’s got The Feeling! He brings life to the electronics, lets the synth speak and lets all his friends be a part of it. |

This straightforward, almost danceable and infinite song was a clear indication of what was yet to come; and a clear evidence of that Emil never stand still as a musician. The track brings together two bitter sweet voices and two sweet instruments. The second song is just found here. “Otur och retur” just didn’t make it to the album, and you can only find it here on this single. |

In April 2005 they released the late compilation "Får ett eget liv" and while they where at it they decided to do some late shows as well. Björns vänner, then, did their last five shows ever. It was a fantastic mini-tour with sold out shows and joyful parties. We remember the crazy crowd in Lund, the horn session in Gothenburg, the late night in Växjö and the queue outside Metro in Malmö. And we remember the night at Chokladfabriken in Malmö the 24th of April. If you don't, for various reasons, this is a true reminder. For all of you who was there and all of you that wanted to; this is the night on tape. It contains a couple of tracks never before officially released. Here you can hear the classic show-opening-song "Peter Peter" and the first track with the name "Leva som en munk"; besides classic tunes. |

A really nice closure and a beginning of something new. This is both for the fans and for new ones. We did this also for everyone that never had heard the band before; we thought it would be interesting to tell the story of a struggling band, doing it for themselves, by themselves. Big thanks to Anders Weberg, who came up with the idea and was the force behind it all. |

Among many things this is a big f**k to people that think they know where to put us. Generalizations, genre labelling and prejudices are things we fight to avoid. This is all that but it is also beautiful music. In one way it feels like this release was the one that got Adrian Recordings further. “The Shoplifter’s Union” was the second single from The Fine Arts Showcase album "Radiola". It came with five, very different, versions of the first single "Chemical Girl". First the "original", the demo version. Some like that one better. Then there is the mighty The Field, world famous for his works for the German techno label Kompakt, here he is taking a dreamy and epic, white noise, cut and glitch-approach to the song. Our own Familjen is turning "Chemical Girl" to an electric dance pop tune. The bassist in Swedish band Monkeystrikes (in the past also in Souls), Johan Karlsson is also a skilled remixer, here he puts a DJ Shadow feeling to it. Last out is the unmerciful Project-X with hard EBM synth. |

Music & Lyrics: Gustaf Kjellvander Produced by Mathias Oldén & Gustaf Kjellvander at Mission Hall Mixed by Mathias Oldén (1, 7-11) Mixed by Pelle Gunnerfeldt at Gröndahl (2-6, 12, 13) Mastered by Henrik Jonsson at Masters of Audio Design: Hanna Sundén Cover portrait: Peter Westrup Artist: Gustaf Kjellvander Extra musicians: Patrik Skoog, Hanna Sundén, Dan Englund, Benjamin Singer, Stefan Rausfelt, Tomas Ebrelius, Mathias Oldén The Fine Arts Showcase is the assumed name of singer/songwriter Gustaf Kjellvander. Gustaf, although still young, he has been on the music scene for some time. Fronting noisy outsider pop trio Sideshow Bob, playing with the more mellow Songs of Soil and delivering the Phil Spectoresque noise and songfest of The Fine Arts Showcase debut album ("Gustaf Kjellvander Proudly Presents the Fine Arts Showcase and the Electric Pavilion"). The Fine Arts Showcase’s sound is made up of a lot of different fragments. Loaning the pop sensibilities of bands like The Byrds, Television Personalities, The Jesus and Mary Chain and artist Gene Pitney with the songwriting and autobiographical elements of Merle Haggard, Leonard Cohen and John Lennon and the overall poetics of bands like Neutral Milk Hotel and The Silver Jews. Surrounded with melody and variation “Radiola” soars. Built like a compilation mix tape Gustaf has chosen to incorporate the sacral sounds of Songs of Soil, the raw emotion of Sideshow Bob and the experimentation and instrumentation of The Fine Arts Showcase debut from 2004 as well as exploring ground previously uncharted by Gustaf. This is music striving for something better, hoping to break the code, jump off the CD and to live a life of its own. |

Chemical Girl is hazy neon lights from the backseat of a taxi. Taking you where you don't want to go. "Chemical Girl" is what you want to have but you know it is bad for you. "The Fine Arts Showcase" is the solo project from the youngest legend in Swedish pop music – Mr. Gustaf Kjellvander. An excellent video by Robinovich was done to this one. |

This is the essence of the song. Cato played all the guitars but it was all destroyed by time stretching; computerized guitar riffs that sweep all over you. Soft as snow but warm inside. The B-side is an instrumental piece that just didn't make it to the album. Listen to it while bathing in your bath tub surrounded by black candles. Music for a daydream nation. You can’t really say they where back, they where never really present. |

The band had split up, but just before they did so, they recorded some tracks mostly for their own documentary purpose. Among these tracks were some of the best tracks they ever recorded. 2. The band was, for some reason, never really satisfied with any of the previous releases. People that know them, know that they rarely are satisfied at all, but the band saw their chance to make a final record that they could be really proud of. And they did, and they were. This record both summarize and bring forward the career the band had. We included the long gone out of sale debut EP “Kvar på film” and the astonishing new tracks, besides that some tracks formerly released in other versions. We all tried to just include things that we felt for and that we had feelings for at the moment. That was the way the band always had worked best, and this result really captured the essence of “Björns vänner”. |

A song about shoplifting tomatoes at the grocery store and finding that the girl behind the counter has red lips. I can count to three refrains one after the other.

People died along the way. Sharif is Adrian Recordings most dysfunctional band (including D&tC). It’s a beautiful record. We all wish that more people will hear it. The band never really worked with the album. They just couldn’t. Some strange shows where done but it never really worked out. There’s a lot of late nights put into this. A lot of alcohol. So much water has drained the band since the first album, so many sorrows and so many bottles. Birds, Bristol, Violence, Moss (Eagerly Awaiting Anytime), Inst., Dub, Sand, Kärnvapen, Friendship, Alcohol, Nuclear, Siaseet. “The doorbell rang and John was standing there in a balaclava and he told me to get ready for a ride. Clothes for three days, some CD's and forget the guitar, where we are going there'll be no playing. Outside, in the January snow there was a car with a trailer attached to it. John asked me to get into the trailer while he got into the driver's seat. In the trailer I found Marcus, Magnus and Johan who all looked kind of dazed. John drives like shit and he won't tell us where we are going. I got a bottle of dark rum and quickly got intoxicated, ‘cause as soon as I tried to get up to get something more to drink the trailer took a spun and I landed on the floor. After, what I guessed was a couple of hours, the trailer stopped and everything was silent on the outside. We stopped the CD-player and waited, giggling like girls. On the outside John was talking with someone. We carefully looked outside through the drapes. There was a small dwarf acting as if he was annoyed about something. John flung the doors open. This shitty place is not open. The dwarf won't let us in. Where are we? We are in Kristianopel and Sweden's most good looking camping site. Had an idea that we would get together and talk about the band. He slammed the door shut and the car started again. Soon we stopped again. We waited for John a while and he soon got into the trailer again. John had taken the trailer past the dwarf into the camping site through the surrounding forest. We hijacked the camping's electricity and were suddenly standing looking out over the ocean. The ocean tore itself into pieces and the cold wind hit our faces like knives. During the following weekend we slept less than what's needed and concentrated on what was important with the band and us. On the following Sunday morning the trailer burned down after a failed attempt to make spaghetti. We fled the camp site and the angry dwarf with a burned out trailer behind the car.” |

A single that is an EP includes songs written and performed by Sara Culler and Joel Fridlund. “White Van” is a gravely "on-the-road" track to rock round country lanes too. A song with the quality to have you moving along uncontrolled, and bopping too! We did no less that two brilliant videos to this track, one made by Anders Weberg and one by Petter Johannisson. This was the first time Adrian Recordings released one of Sara Cullers' songs. Sara has always been in the background, singing on many of David & the Citizens' songs, eMiL Jensen's "Naken ner på knä" and teaming up with David Fridlund on most of the songs on his album "Amaterasu". "Days That Can Be Ours" is perfect lo-fi pop euphoria in the style of Cat Power on speed or Eric's Trip without the dude. Joel is the brother of David and the man behind the tape machine while David recorded his solo album. "Bluelipscold" is a drunken Brian Ferry lying in the streets; elegant, sad but proud. This track is also released under Joel’s band name ” Late Mrs Eight” on the album ”Dear Adrenaline” out on French label ”T-Rec” (www.t-rec.org) . |

Nick Drake gave birth to it but it was brought up in Detroit with STAX as mother and Motown as its father. It later eloped and found Marcus Cato. The B-side is the song "Hela vägen ner", which was the first single from the album and here it is in its first version, called "Hela vägen ner (gamla vägen)". Longer and slower, with saxophone and different background vocals - other values than the album version, not better not worse, other. |
