Cadillac is the second single from Pascal highly praised second album Galgberget. A real summer treat about love and driving cars. What else do you need? The single also features remixes of the previous single "Längtar efter dig" by Love Is A Burning Thing, Firefox AK and Robert Johnson and the Punchdrunks.
Also do check out the great video for Cadlillac. It is made by STARK Film with Torbjörn Martin as director, John Boisen as DOP and Björn Fävremark as producer. You can find it on YouTube. Well worth a look at.

"Lies" is first single off Antennas' coming album "Feeling Feline Tonight" (due to be released in September). It's showing off their new sound which is more electronic, urban and darker but still with all the superb pop melody you associate with Antennas. The single also features remixes by Oscar Tillman (Holiday For Strings), The Baboon Show (a cover) and Radio LXMBRG. As an extra treat you also get the realtone signal for your mobile phone.

An Object is Paper's highly anticipated debut album. Paper is a kraut-punk trio featuring Calle Olsson from The Bear Quartet and Paddington DC along with members of Audionom. The sound is based around the frustration of punk, the delicacy of pop melody and the hypnotic power of repetition. Think early Wire meets early Wire, simple, powerful. A great piece of kraut-postpunk.

Pascal are back with their sophomore album “Galgberget”, and what a follow up it is. They have fine tuned their cave rock and are both heavier and noisier than ever. More anger and bitterness. More hate, longing and much much more love. Just as Pascal likes it.
It’s still as raw and unpolished as before but with an added heaviness which gives them much more punch. Their talent for melodies and hooks that stick like gum are still intact. The first single “Längtar efter dig” (Longing for you) breaths much of the
late eighties. And sure, much of their influences come from that era and the post punk scene but Elvis, Bruce Springsteen and Judas Priest. This is also what makes them truly unique, all their wide ranging personal influences mixed down to become Pascal.
Enjoy!

"I was blown away when I first heard this track from the swedish trio Norma's debut ep, out on Novoton now. Their music is a mixture of ambient, kraut, noise, electronica, indie with a strict, repetitive bass/drum pattern and a magnificent, wide and almost hypnotic sound. This is rich, panoramic music with a warmth that I don't hear often from other bands trying to do something in this genre. I'm also amazed by the composition and the small details that suddenly surfaces and surprises. When the main song on the single is 8:33 minutes long, I guess those surprises are kind of necessary...
I keep getting a whole range of different references in my head when I hear this music, - german kraut is one obvious thing, but also the spacerock of Siritualized and Spacemen3 comes to mind. Newer references may be my fellow norwegians 120 days, Serena Maneesh and the Lionheart Brothers." (Knut, Eardrums Music Blog)

What if you kidnapped Pete Townsend, Iggy Pop and Otis Redding, put them in a small cabin, force fed them cheap beer and greasy food, and – under the supervision of Josh Homme – made them solve the great rock’n’roll riddle? You might come up with something similar to the diverse, yet straight-forward, soundscapes of Swedish power trio Black Belt - big fuzzy guitars, fat ass bass, rolling drums, dirty denim, sweet soul and tons of swagger.
With one foot running the working class meanstreets of the sixties, the other foot placed firmly in the black soil of the south, Black Belt proove that it’s still possible to create a stir by rolling that old rock in yet another direction. With their largest production to date, the band both roars and crumbles, whispers and cuddles – although they never lose trace of the chorus-driven nerve that made them a name in the first place.
