Sufjan Stevens on the Take Away-show, but his friends were better… This is mostly about the friends…

May 31st, 2007 by Knut


Sufjan Stevens recently did a performance on the 50th Take Away-show. The performance was filmed at the MusicNow-festival in Cincinnati, and Sufjan’s performance is only a part of the recording. Other artists are Havlovi, David Cossin, Pedro Soler, Clogs & Shara “My Brightest Diamond” Worden, Osso Quartet and Amiina, but of course Sufjan was listed as the “headliner”.
For me, Sufjan’s performance was good, but it was the least interesting on this show. Just listen to the parts where especially the icelandic string quartet Amiina (also known as Sigur Rs’ string players), Osso Quartet (they are the string quartet who performs with Sufjan Stevens and My Brightest Diamond) and Clogs/Shara Worden performs. Amazing!
Amiina rules my world right now. This is heavenly music!

Watch the whole take away-show here.


And listen to some non-sufjan songs here:

Amiina – Ugla (from the fantastic “Seoul-ep”, out now on emusic, iTunes and other places)
My Brightest Diamond – disappear (string quartet version)( from the disappear e.p., iTunes only)
Clogs – Pencil Stick (from the bandsite)
David Cossin – A.C.T. Radio (he plays ‘the amplified cardboard tube’, a self made instrument. Radio recording, from Cossin’s website.)

…and here’s a live video of Amiina, performing their new single Seoul in Philadelphia:

This Year’s Model

May 31st, 2007 by Ivar

Founder of the swedish band This Year’s Model, Niklas, says that this was the solo project that never came to be. The solo deal with a legendary indielabel was signed, but things changed. He soon teamed up with Ylva Lindberg (from Friday Bridge), Henric Strmberg and Mattias Svensson. The solo deal with german indie-label March Marigold Rec. was changed to a band deal instead.

They first said hello to the world in 2005 with a 7 inch vinyl single called Greetings from This Year’s Model, and this summer they will release their debut CD The Clock Strikes Ten. The album contains fifteen sweet jingly jangly guitar popsongs, accomplished with piano and harpsichords. For more songs listen to the bands Myspace.
This Year’s Model – Ten O’Clock Murder

This Year’s Model – My Foolish Heart

(both songs from The Clock Strikes Ten)

This Year’s Model – The Postcard

(from Greetings from This Year’s Model)

All songs from bandpage.

New song from LEVY

May 30th, 2007 by Knut

The new single from LEVY, “Glorious”, is stuck on repeat in the Eardrums office. I’m not in the mood for lots of words today, and I guess it is enough to say that I love the song, I can’t wait for the new album that will be out in September on One Little Indian and that the weather outside my window today is not as Glorious as the music on my stereo….

Enjoy the music!
LEVY – Glorious

(more songs streaming on the Levy-myspace)

Robert Svensson of Mixtapes & Cellmates goes solo

May 30th, 2007 by Knut

The man behind the vocals in Mixtapes & Cellmates, Robert Svensson, has announced that he will release his debut soloalbum on the swedish label Nomethod records. He is currently working on the album at his home in Stockholm, and it is scheduled for release on October 10. The label will also release a free digital EP prior to the albumrelease. According to the Nomethod, this will not be your typical acoustic guitar singer-songwriter type of record, and Robert has been working without boundaries when he has written the songs for the album. Could be interesting!

At the moment, there isn’t much info available on his website, but we’ll keep our eyes open for updates. We have no previews for you yet on his solostuff (we’ve been promised to get something within a few weeks), but we do have something from his band. Here are three songs from Mixtapes and Cellmates, – the first single from their recently released debut album, a coversong and a remix of another song of theirs.
Mixtapes & Cellmates – Quiet
Mixtapes & Cellmates – Photo Jenny (Belle and Sebastian -cover)
Mixtapes & Cellmates – C you d road home (Bauri remix)
(All of these songs can be found on the label’s site as two zipped EP’s, including several other remixes and more nice stuff).
