    · By Mattias Forsgren

    Welcome to the ‘World Below’ – the new studio album by Glasgow post-punk heavyweights Baby Strange. Written as a reaction to how the pandemic has played havoc with mental health, the increasingly visible class divide and the meteoric rise of food banks across the country – World Below plays to the paradox of the topics set out within. Equally dark & beautiful, with pop melodies that sync with pure grit. Following the success of Land of Nothing EP, Baby Strange are set to release their second full length album. World Below picks up where Land of Nothing left off, with the uniquely Baby Strange sound...

    · By Mattias Forsgren

    "Ray-Bans" by PAPA SOUND & Shvmpoo is a mid-tempo summer pop track, musically influenced by contemporary dancehall, pop, and afrobeat. The lyrics talk about the first sight of a person who catches your eye and that lovely impact it has on us.

    · By Mattias Forsgren

    Gothenburg-based Internet Friends bounce into the fold on their twisted new single “Rice Krispies” — the latest release from Swedish boutique label Icons Creating Evil Art (Baby Strange, Lazy Queen). Kicking off with distorted electronics, “Rice Krispies'' reveals itself to be dark and subversive from the get-go. Outlandish lyrics like “Rice Krispies in the morning, nice tripsies all night” and “snap neck, crack smoke, pop your eyesies'' are delivered in Sprechgesang-like patter as the track thunders through bass-heavy impenetrable riffs. “Rice Krispies'' is just a taste of the ferocious new work from Internet Friends.  Last year, Fredrik Soila, Jakob Falkendal and Noel Hassling-Offrell as Internet Friends, released the “Nosebleeds” EP - the follow...
