Third single from this alternative electric blues band, based in a ice-cold town near the arctic circle. This new single smell´s like a dripping swamp with a touch of something that could have come out of Primal Scream during their rock and blues period. Nice backing vocals, classic cool guitar melody, a good swing you should say.
The second track is a odd and nice piano song with a beautiful trumpet, cool as everything else that comes out of this hard working duo.
Perhaps The Blues don´t deliver for the masses, but they do deliver, thats for sure.

Super Cool new single, and thats the truth, from northern based The Blues. This duo has earlier, some six months ago, released a single, so this is their second. They have also contributed with a nice tune on our Compilation “A West Side Fabrication Play Covers”. But that was then and now is now, so therefor all nice folks out there, please welcome El Guapo (plus the second track The Highway);

El Guapo.

Deep down in the south of Europé, that’s where you find him; El Guapo

He is very thin and tanned and he gives you a warm toothless smile. El Guapo used to be a small time crook but not anymore.

Oh no, not anymore. He made that big score. Just that one. It wasn’t supposed to happen. But he got his chance and he took it. El Guapo ran off with the money.

Now he’s sitting by himself in the bar, every night, dressed in a red LaCoste polo shirt, ordering glass after glass of their most expensive red wine.

El Guapo’s got it made. El Guapo is living the sweet life. Nobody knows he’s here. Nobody knows that he’ s still alive.

Nobody…………But me.

The Blues, who have their base in northern Sweden, was formed in 2009 by Bob and Henry. Their musical influences are old raw blues and German pioneers like Kraftwerk and Einstürzende Neubauten. The Blues’ music is evocative and melancholy and often takes a stand against opression in all forms.
"Mister Foreman" and "Not a Long Way Down" was recorded in the spring of 2010 at Neubauten Studio, andereBaustelle in Berlin.
Bob and Henry play all the instruments and have produced the music together with Einstürzende Neubauten’s producer Boris Wilsdorf.
