After the autumn In Dark Woods EP (which in November was number one in Sweden toplist / midprice) Ida Long now releases her long awaited debut album, Walk Into The Fire. This past year, the Swedish singer toured widely both at home in Sweden, throughout Europe (Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, etc.) and at clubs in New York. Ida Long's version of Mad World (theme song in an international award-winning trailer for the TV series Mad Men) and singles Hearts, Crash, Doll and Come Out and Play has been compared to, among other things Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Lykke Li, Feist and Björk - and in the January issue of the British Uncut compared a critic her singing with Madonna.

LCTRISC call their music “Maximal”, which is explained as: “A crazy fusion dance music and garage noise. Guitar riffs cut into pieces in symbiosis with cheap drum samples and midi synths. And a banana shaker.”
