Home / Artists / THE FINE ARTS SHOWCASE / DOLOPHINE SMILE

The spring of 2009 will see their 4th album “Dolophine Smile” hitting the longing shelves. And now The Fine Arts Showcase return with their strongest album to date “Dolophine Smile”.

Influenced by the breakup of Gustaf and his ex-girlfriend Hanna, Gustafs relocation back to Malmö from London and various health issues. The songs reflect a darker side of mainman Gustaf Kjellvanders psyche.

“Dolophine Smile” is a sonic journey to the center of a broken heart: A frank, sincere and honest look at a relationship falling apart at the seams. From Joachim Leksell’s opening bassline on “Friday on my knees” all the way through to the stunning bittersweet closing track “You knew I was trouble from the start”, wich features UK starlet “Theoretical Girl”, it is clear that the band means business. The lyrics are more self revealing and heavy in satire then ever before. The list of influences could be made long but that would be missing the point entirely.

Yes, you can hear the heritage from bands such as The Velvet Underground, The Byrds, Dinosaur Jr, and Orange Juice running through the songs but most of all The Fine Arts Showcase sound like , well ,The Fine Arts Showcase. The Songs speak for themselves: Stunning, Romantic and beautiful. The Fine Arts Showcase always succeed in the hard task of sounding familiar and at the same time fresh, new and exciting
