  • Across the room

    BELPID035

    Artist: Stellan Wahlström Drift Band

    Label: Belpid Records

    Out of the studio and back from mixing in New York, Stellan Wahlström Drift Band’s new album “Across the room” is now out on Belpid Records/Plugged Dist.

    The recording was made the old-fashioned way on to 2"-tape by Christian Gabel (1900, bob hund, Ossler) at Cobra Studio in Stockholm, and mixed in Brooklyn, NY by Patrick A Derivaz (who has previously worked with Television, Luna and John Cale).

    Here the band has taken their music deeper into their own brand of lush urban folk rock – the cracked tones of Telecasters meet with lots of piano, organ, acoustic guitars, violin and an electric Hagström 12-string in the warm analogue recording.

    "Charlotte says" is the first single taken off their forthcoming third album "Across the room". It's a Telecaster-driven, rich, mid-tempo rock song.

    The second track is a cover of the late 60's downer folk singer/songwriter Karen Beth's "Nothing lasts".

    The new album "The Excitable Gift" was recorded by Sten Hårdbåge at Das Boot Studio in Stockholm and mixed by Linus Larsson (Anna Ternheim, Eldkvarn and others). Here they've taken their music further towards folk rock - lots of piano, acoustic guitar, violin and an electric Hagström 12-string can be heard on the warm-sounding analogue recording.

  • So this is what the end looks like

    BELPID015

    Artist: Stellan Wahlström Drift Band

    Label: Belpid Records

    After living in New York for many years, Stellan returned to Sweden where he reformed the band, released the "So this is what the end looks like"-EP, and started playing live again in Stockholm (as well as an acoustic tour in India in 2003, an example of that can be heard on the track "An old Monk...").

  • Time leaves you behind

    BELLPID011

    Artist: Stellan Wahlström Drift Band

    Label: Belpid Records

    In the late eighties Stellan Wahlström toured Europe and the USA with the garage rock band The Wylde Mammoths, releasing records on the legendary Crypt Records label. He was also in The High Speed V, another wild rock combo coming out of that same scene. He is now out of the garage and with his new band he is doing what could be described as modern big-city folk rock, a kind of slow and somber rock with singer/songwriter roots. Or as The Big Takeover put it, "a more sophisticated take on a cross between post-Velvets and Alt-Country with a very clean almost jazz-like ambience".

    "Time leaves you behind" is their debut album.
