"A wonderful surprise, One hundred fifty-five captivates with the beauty of its presentation and the high caliber of its compositions"
- Ron Schepper, Textura.

Kristofer Ström aka Ljudbilden & Piloten has today together with his wife Emma delivered a beautiful and healthy daughter. We send them endless love and congratulations. Hip Hip Hurrah, Hip Hip!

"In fact, that adequately epitomizes the entire album.These songs really remind you just how much of your life you have left to live, while making you want to live it without an ounce of work or worry. “One Hundred Fifty-Five” is a mature flower child, just inching around the edge of cheesy. Unapologetic in their embrace of pure delight, even the cynic in me gets a little more optimistic. I feel like I can pause in my work every few moments and let my fingers hover above the keyboard as I take a little trip into a land of youth and possibility – the most exotic, distant country there is, since it only exists in the minds of idealists and music like Ljudbilden & Piloten’s."

“If I was to call this release by just one name, I would have to simplify everything and state it's quite brilliant. Cross-genre pollination rarely sounded this authentic.”

Such kind and wise words can be read in a very nice review in the excellent magazine: Gaz-Eta. Hurrah.

The new Nosordo release from our Norwegian friends Det Svenska folket is added to the shop (both digital and phyiscal) and to the download section. Go get yourself a breathtaking track for the weekend and beyong.

Det Svenska Folket "Future Primitive"

Release party:
28 April – 27 May 2007

Liv Bugge
Marius Engh
Johannes Heldén
Daniel Jensen
Martin Skauen

Curators: Helga-Marie Nordby & Sylvia Kochanska
 
Welcome to exhibition opening and record release at UKS Friday 27 April at 7. p.m.!

The band Det Svenska Folket (Martin Skauen, Jacob Nyberg and Eirik Kalstveit) welcome you to the release of their new album Future Primitive!
 
The spiritual and metaphysical has clearly recurred as source of inspiration on the contemporary art scene. This approach could be a reaction to today`s highly rationalized society and a desire for parallel realities: for the fictional and the fantastic. The exhibition Future Primitive indicates a connection between future science and technology, and a retrospective mysticism and fascination for the supernatural. The works in the exhibition takes in different ways, their starting point in contemporary myths and the esoteric. Some of the works explore secret brotherhoods and sects – marginal groups that perform rituals connected to obscure beliefs, or as depictions of new and alternative world orders, coincidentally based on ancient symbols, and contemporary and scientific myths and beliefs.

"...the collaboration with Dax Pierson of the Anticon-associated group Subtle has got to be the kicker."

Ron Schepper over at our favourite ezine Textura reviewed not one but three of our latest releases,
Kama Aina / Ljudbilden & Piloten, Dax Pierson & Robert Horton and The Idealist.
Read all about it at www.textura.org

The netzine Sound of Music reviewed our two latest releases with very warm and kind words:

Pierson & Horton "Pablo Feldman Sun Riley:
"...när så mycket av den dronebaserade elektroniska musiken går i det mörkas tecken känns det välbehövligt att få en annan bild av tillvaron, om än med sorgsna inslag. Men sorg och skräck är två helt olika storheter."

The Idealist "I am the fire"
"Engagerat, tankvärt och på ett intelligent sätt, en lek med elden utan att förnimmelser av lukten av svedd hud fyller rummet."

Highly recomended, Dax Pierson podcast. Dax says: "This is my first attempt at a podcast and I figured that this would be a good introduction to the person behind the mask…er.. “cast”. All the music was recorded between 2000-2006. Thank You for listening."
