the boss , on 3 x 12inch vinyl

rockabilly meets punkrock aus schweden!

die bandbreite der zwoelf songs reicht von frickeliger indie elektronik, angereichert mit spaßigem geraeuschchaos, über poppig-housige minimal tracks mit ear-catcher-hooks bis hin zu sensiblen singer-songwriter miniaturen und aetherischen athmos. die beats – ob housig oder als rockig angehauchtes live-schlagzeug eingesetzt – sind niemals nur funktionaler natur. sie fühlen sich immer ganz dem song verpflichtet. in eine schublade pressen laesst sich in a manner of sleeping nicht – eklektizismus und ploetzliche ueberraschungen durchbrechen jedes genrekorsett.
