The Swedish duo Social Ambitions seals the summer with their brand new single ”Commandments” - a large, intense and electronic track with influences from Manchester, Berlin and Vince Clarke. The group that consists of Anders Karlsson and Mikael Arborelius was formed in 2006 and after a collection of singles their critically acclaimed debut album ”Almost Gone”was released in 2010, an album that was nominated as Album of the Year in ”Manifestgalan 2011”, the Swedish alternative Grammy Awards!
Vocalist Anders Karlsson says ”Commandments is the perfect song for a long hot summers night when you've stopped thinking of what is right or wrong. It is a large track that also represents our development since the debut album from last year. A little more direct, a little more energy and with a very in-your-face message.” Keyboardist Mikael Arborelius continues ”The track is abour love and understanding, about internal and external biddings – commandments. About commandments that can be both invigorating and counteractive in life and what it means to break or follow these rules. Which commandments the listener has to decide for themselves – we know what WE mean.”
The single is produced and recorded in the groups own studio in central Stockholm, Sweden but mastered by Robin Rudén at the famous Music A Matic studio in Gothenburg.

The first ever album from Sweden's Social Ambitions contains ten brilliant pop tunes about feelings of losing, all with a hint of bitterness and a lot of electricity. The album was produced and recorded in Stockholm during 2010 and it should satisfy anyone with a lust for sweet electro pop with a majority of its soul in the 00's and one foot in the 80's.
Nominated as "Album of the Year" at the annual SOM Manifestgalan 2011. Among the best albums of 2010 at Synth.nu and P3 Lab.

Carefully polished this instant smash combines the best of contemporary pop with the experience only owned by persons who has seen the ups and downs of the musical rollercoaster that is the world we live in.
The single also contains a minimalistic remix inspired by the classic home computer Commodore 64 and an extended dance version - both carefully put together by the man, the myth Diskodiktator.

Social Ambitions returns with the refreshing single "The Strip". Since their latest release they have evolved the band from a trio into a duo, and the sound further into the direction of what they define as The Wave. Part retro, part future, with a love for electronic sounds they draw a clear line from the early eighties into tomorrow.
"The Strip" is about being on your way to, or from, something important.
It is a road with two lanes. One of them you own - it is your choice, your lane. It fills you up. It makes you strong. Invincible.
The other lane is the path you want to avoid, but you know is there waiting for you.
In the end, "Midnight" gets its grip on you.
