refuge.

our dear friends in a swarm of the sun release their full lenght album zenith today and playing bass on a few tracks is none other than our very own anders carlström. misha, anders and thomas have been part of their live band and it is erik of a swarm of the sun who is versionstudio that recorded and released come sleep and sells our merch. so do check them out on their website and listen to their older stuff on spotify.

in four weeks it's time for another release. good times!

eye of the beholder.

now, this is the undisputed truth: if you are ANYTHING like this guy, you will absolutely agree with his every word. in fact, if i had his taste in music, i would agree the shit out of his review. fortunately, i have not.

for a great reading experience for those who lack a german vocabulary i give to thee: altavista babelfish.

/misha, the uninspired guitarist. ;)

party hard!

you can't release a cd without having a party, right? the plans are still quite vague but these few elements of facts can be considered truths: on september 27th we're having it here. basically, it will be dj's, a chance to be the first to lay your hands on the new cd and, of course, a live performance from the band. but stay tuned as we lay the exact facts down as soon as they are written in stone.

p, a, r, t. y? because we gotta!

Duke Teasem!

hey, kids!

wanna hear some new songs? as of today we've added an album teaser on our myspace! it's a five minute mix of what's to come on the 55 minutes released in september. we also chose to replace the demo versions of disperse! and dejected with the new and improved album versions. and if that ain't enough for you, check out the new designs, both here and on our myspace! smart kids could easily figure out they're teasers as well of what to expcet from the artwork.

today's a great day, can you feel it?

a vicious catalyst.

i'm sitting at home listening to the new lingua album in my headphones as i write this. i just got my hands on the master tape that thomas sent me and i'm telling you, we've created something unbelievable here! when we started the recording of this album we had just bought our first recording gear and begun building our own studio: a 20 square meter rehearsalroom filled with moderate technology. enough to get started, enough to get something on tape. but then what? well, i'll let you all be the judge of the end result when it's out there. but i for one can't place the studio to the end result! it just couldn't have been created there, but i watched it happen!

i can't wait for you all to hear it! but both you and i will have to contain ourselves for another three months for that to happen. gah!!

and the circus leave town.

it's official. well, it has been for quite some time, but now it's on the internet. for you who don't understand swedish i suggest altavista babelfish or google language tools for a near understanding experience.

i can't get no communication.

ever since the release of "the smell..." we've been listed as latin music on allmusic.com. now, we've heard journalists describe us as goth and had people from the crowd come up after gigs and thankig us for some great emo, so i guess we float arund in different genres and are hard to categorize. and it should be said that i've enjoyed that impession of being hard to pu your thumb on. but even though i don't care much for genres and categories, i wouldn't want them latin lovers to get the wrong impression and mistakenly buy our album for their next salsa fiesta. unfortunately, emailing these guys is not working, so in the meantime i leave you something to giggle at. and, oh, i hope the irony of this is getting through, so you don't think that i'm under the impression of lingua being a big seller or search hit at allmusic.com. i'm not. still funny though.

meantime.

we're working on it. in the meantime, check out this really old video of us playing 'constant state of puttra' (yup, mascot records spelled it wrong) live at KGB bar in stockholm some five years ago or so. time flies. good times!
