Danish Light/Modern Love is the third single from the fine arts showcase's second full-length album Radiola

A side Danish Light is a Love song about singer/guitarist/songwriter Gustaf Kjellvanders and his girlfriend Hanna Sundens' love. In a kind of Lou Reedish deadpan he talks us through a typical but very happy Malmoe 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 Danish Light sounded like Eggstone on heroin...

The AA side Modern Love is a song written by the band Inside Riot (who later became The Rough Bunnies, The Flame etc). And is a celebration of the pop genius of Anna and Frida Vermina. The song is taken from the upcoming 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 entire album will be out early next year. Gustaf once told me about the first time he heard this song. 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 TFAS sings RB had just been planted.
