In 1995 a gang of teenagers and childhood friends formed my Orchard. In December 2008 they decided that it was over and held a funeral concert for fans and friends. At a fully packed evening at rock club Pipeline they did their last concert on the 26th of December and friends and other bands joined in and contributed and the whole thing was filmed to be included in a documentary by Camilla Söderberg which follows the band from the early days until now.
They toured Sweden a lot but also made gigs in London and New York and have been a frequent guest at national radio P3s playlist. Quite a lot of their songs have also made it to films and TV-games. Their first two albums Grebo (1999), Five Years Long and Tall as A Dream (2001) and the EP Too Cool for School were produced by new wave legend and John Peel-favourite Jörgen Cremonese. Their debut album featured indie pop princess Marit Bergman on several tracks and she also joined the band on vocals and keyboards for the Popstad 1999 radioshow.
Their third album Silhouettes (2004) was their most successful both artistically and commercially and is by now almost sold out. A List of Thing was frequently played on national radio and the video had high rotation both on ZTV and MTV
We decided to mix the tracks recorded for the bands never finished 4th album to give away at the funeral gig but the result was so great that we turned it into a proper release.
It’s with great pride we release the bands final and best album. It shows a band at their best. Still adventurous but with a lot more skill and the material rages from 3 minutes pop songs to long dreamlike songs.
Later this year we will release a box with all their records in a limited edition and in fall 2009 the film Teenage Dreams will premiere.

An outstanding "8 out of 10" review in Sonic
"...vill du höra hur man bäst kombinerar särdragen hos Kraftwerk, Neil Young och Joy Division, draperat i en atmosfär som länkar ett nordengelskt torftigt 1983 med ett kaliforniskt blomstrande 1967, då är detta plattan att ge sig på."
MARTIN THEANDER, 2008-03-11
"17 låtar som taxar ut på över en timmes speltid är som att åka tidsmaskin genom gruppens låtkatalog. Och det i en nylackad farkost. Ett av vårt lands elegantaste popband bor nästgårds och fortsätter att övertyga. Ta dem till Yran, please!"

Äntligen på CD. Tidigare har endast Traste & Superstararnas hit Pengar funnit att tillgå på olika samlingar. Här kommer till slut den definitiva samlingen med 14 rykande punkstänkare från Traste & Superstararna som ger bandet sin plats i historien som Hälsinglands punkpionjärer. Remastrat och med en mängd tidigare outgivet material är detta en riktig guldklimp till fint pris.

The brilliant single from Marbles debut album. On high rotation on P3. Different B-side to the vinyl single.

The most compressed debut album of the year has arrived! Massproduktion are incredibly proud to return to their roots with this record. Marble has refined their cocktail of pop, punk and new wave into highly condensed, minimalistic perfection.
The band takes off in the new wave sounds of the late 70s and early 80s and uses the simplicity of punk to deliver a sound that is cheeky and playful with lots of energy. Solos and bridges have been discarded in search for an effective and original core, displayed in ten tracks boasting with self confidence. The debut album, Marble!, was recorded during ten hectic days in the Sidelake studio (Sundsvall) and the Atlantis studio (Stockholm) with the wildly enthusiastic producer Micke Herrström.
