“The whole thing was a freak accident,” Sean Keel says of the unlikely set of circumstances that led to the release of the Austin-based singer-songwriter’s raw, starkly evocative record, A Dry Scary Blue, with the independent Stockholm-based  label, Icons Creating Evil Art.  “I’ve got four records on Bandcamp; basically no one has listened to any of them; and now I’m putting one out with a record company. An actual record company! From Sweden!” A Dry Scary Blue introduces a distinctive, wholly individual singer-songwriter who, despite living in a legendary roots-music mecca, has honed his craft far from the public eye.  Keel’s raw, evocative compositions...

As we await the follow up to Lazy Queen’s refreshingly impressive EP “A Human Reaction”, the Norwegian-New York bubble punk hybrids are welcoming a new era with their new single “243, New Moon”. Set for release on Swedish tastemaker label Icons Creating Evil Art, the new single sees the band reignite their partnership with collaborator Morten Øby at Taakenheimen Lydriket in Oslo. Appearing as a more relaxed version of Lazy Queen, the new single is nevertheless loaded with emotionally-confronting lyrics and earworming guitar melodies from the off. Simmering out the self-antagonistic air evident in the band's previous work, "243, New Moon'' is no less passionate than before...

Lustans Lakejer släpper titelspåret från kommande albumet Mörk Materia  New wave-ikonerna Lustans Lakejer släpper 23 september sitt efterlängtade nya studioalbum "Mörk Materia". Upptakten inför albumreleasen har bestått av singlarna “Lyx”, “En gång när jag var 17”, ”Den fjärde mannen”, en tolkning av Ulf Lundells ”Rialto” och ”Jag kan läsa mellan raderna”. Nu når uppladdningen sin kulmen när de släpper sista singeln från albumet – titelspåret "Mörk Materia".Den nya singeln är dunkelt suggestivt mästerverk; farlig, poetisk och sexig. Produktionen är polerad till fingertoppskänslig perfektion, så som kännetecknar samtliga låtar från det nya albumet –  ett hantverk signerat producent Jan Lundkvist.Lustans Lakejer startade som ett punkband 1978, men valde snabbt en annan väg...

"The video for Blood Red Son is a fever dream of indecision, regret and resolve. It’s about the moment you realize you have a choice to make, and all the different conflicting emotions that compete for space in your head while doing so. That’s the important bit though. However chaotic and difficult the choice may be, it’s essential for people to have the ability to make it for themselves. When I wrote this song and made this video, the right to that choice, though constantly under attack, still seemed set in stone, at least in my country. Now, as I...
