It’s been three years since Familjen aka Johan T. Karlsson stormed charts, venues and festivals with especially the title track off his debut album ‘Det snurrar i min skalle’. When the follow up was released earlier this year, it was clear that the party is still going.
While much has happened since the "Det snurrar i min skalle” epidemic spread, the groove, drive and the sudden impulses are just as knock-out this time. Take the maxed out Motown drums and distorted bass on the first single "När planeterna stannat". It screams attention and once again drags us out on the dance floor. The track parked itself high on charts and established Familjen as one of the great Swedish artists. This has been even clearer when watching all the ten thousands dancers that show up on all the many festival shows during the summer. The summer of 2010 has been nothing but a big party for followers of Swedish melodic vocal house.
Second chapter starts with the release of the next single “Det var jag”. A bittersweet vocal melody, a post punk bass line (played by Kent’s Martin Sköld) and an unforgettable slightly Asian tune together with Johan’s almost mythological vocals will, once it has drilled its way in to your head, be stuck there for the rest of the year. We promise.
All is brought to you together with an extraordinary golden video and a string of fingerpicked remixes. The party will continue far beyond every border; abroad and within.
This is the vinyl version. Availible on a 12” vinyl and for all boring people out there, it is also released digitally. Here you get the original together with a complete new instrumental quirky techno track from Familjen, a totally wild and dance floor bomb from Savage Skulls & Marcus Price, and a totally astonishing, beautiful relaxed British 90th version from Krazy Fiesta.
