Imagine Arthur Russell's "In The Light Of The Miracle" meets Kate Bush's "Nocturn" meets Jesse Rose and Henrik Schwarz's "Stop, Look & Listen" meets LCD Soundsystem's "45:33" - and not coincidentally these have all been major musical obsessions of mine over the past twelve months.
This album really needs a track-by-track though as there is just too too too too much awesomeness to take in!

And not just the Disco Inferno of the EPs but also those early percussive efforts on In Debt. "No Comply" though is all weird overlapping keyboard and piano melodies, kinda Reichian sample-pop.

Slowly slowly starting to see more talk about this. Still perhaps my favourite album of the year, interchanging with Panda Bear. Not surprisingly, the remixes floating around are great - I love how Todd Terje's remix of "Life's a Beach" starts out funky and very very slowly gets all moody like the original, and it's got such a wet aqueous groove too. And the Brennan Green remix of "West Side" is like a really sensitive dub version, moving around some parts, cutting out the vocals and adding some morose bleepy keyboards but otherwise preserving everything loveable about the original.
Also really really liking Studio's remix/remake of The Shout Out Loud's "Impossible", which is bright shiny pop by their standards - The Cure's "In Between Days" meets Disco Inferno's "The Athiest's Burden" meets... I'm not sure.

i've fallen in love with this band, but have only heard 2 songs (Origin & Life's a Beach). would love to hear a full length. i bought the remix 12" of Life's a Beach and was terribly dissapointed. i didn't realize it was only remixes and not the original version. and the remixes just sounded like mellow house tracks to me. lost most of the live instruments that i liked about it to begin with and returned it the next day.

I'm waiting for my yearbook CD after really enjoying the remixes 12", the Todd Terje is fantastic, pitched on the edge of being, like the record shop label said, 'chilled out bar groove', I'm amazed they get something so great out of these rainforest and hippy signifiers. Certain points in that track, a bit more colour is gradually added and it feels like a huge psychedelic build, but still fairly restrained and smooth overall.

i was really surprised to read your comment upthread! the bassline in the terje is just too boogie to be house. it reminds me of the mary jane girls. so there's the rick james thing and on top of it there is cure (meets basic channel) san francisco summer beach atmospherics. and then fat techno claps and cowbells and a sense of humor. i am so smitten by this song.

It's kinda of odd how similar the Prins Thomas and Todd Terje remixes of "Life's a Beach" are - both have the funky bassline, the endless layering of effects, the faithful redeployment of the guitar. The Terje remix is slightly more brisk and uptempo, and I slightly prefer it, but they're both great.

― Tim F, Thursday, 12 July 2007 22:34 (5 years ago) Permalink
i think balearic is one of those words like minimal. it has meaning that is more like residue. i like a lot of recent music like this because it is musical as opposed to most of the contemporary dance music i immerse myself in which is music that for most of the 00s has been design-obsessed (similar to a lot of contemporary pop and hip hop and even alterna-rock). it's just tiring after awhile.

Okay, the Disco Inferno connection I don't sense either, though I can see what Tim is driving at.

I'm with Ned, but I can see grower potential. The glistening bit is spot on. What it reminds me most of, I guess, is early Cure. There's a similar sense of space and that overall mood of chilly summer dawns, that I get from 'Japanese Whispers' or '17 Seconds'.

"Self Service" is maybe my favourite a lot of the time, especially when the vocalist sings "(something) (something) against you!" and then he has this syncopated "ooh ooh ooh ooh" in time with a keyboard riff and the beat.

On Yearbook I there's a full version called "Origin (Shake You Down By The River)" which is great - kind of like "Self Service" but sleazier, and building up to a great climax of which the "Origin" snippet on West Coast forms a part.

― Michael F Gill, Thursday, 9 August 2007 05:20 (5 years ago) Permalink
The West Coast LP (2006) had much, much shorter versions of Origin and Indo, and a longer version of Self Service.
West Coast 2LP (2007) are the same versions that are on Yearbook 1.
I'm DLing the 2006 version and will give it a listen tomorrow.
― gr8080, Thursday, 9 August 2007 07:54 (5 years ago) Permalink
anyone know where i can find a copy of the No Comply 12"?
― gr8080, Thursday, 9 August 2007 07:55 (5 years ago) Permalink
So, the biggest difference between the 2006 LP and the 2007 2LP is Self Service. The version on the 2006 LP is longer and has more of a baggy Stone Roses beat, riding a little bit more of a consistent groove, whereas the 2007 version is a bit more pop-song-structured, with the steel drums more prominent, calling a bit more attention to its different parts. Definately two completely different recordings. This song also falls into different slots in the track order on the two versions of the album. Love them both; the 2006 version would work better in a DJ set.
The 2006 version of Origin is really only the last two minutes of the 2007 version. The 2007 version is a re-recording of a song on their third 7", Shake You Down By the River, which is why it appears on Yearbook 1 as Origin (Shake You Down By the River). Yet the same version appears on the 2007 2LP as just Origin.
Indo is great on both versions, albeit 4 times as long on the 2007 version. The two sound like they could both be from the same recording.
As far as I can tell, Out There, West Coast, and Life's A Beach! are the same.
Like I said, confusing.
So, while Tim's take upthread is spot on, he was really listening to a different album than most of us are listening to now.

I keep on meaning to recommend the band to Simon Reynolds - they remind me of a complaint he made last year about the post-punk revival, being that while everyone had cottoned on to the tense jerking disco-punk blast sound, so far few if anyone had revived the slower, eerie, beautiful side of post-punk, like the slow moments on Remain in Light.
― Tim F, Sunday, 12 August 2007 00:56 (5 years ago) Permalink
They have a mix up at allez-allez.co.uk very much on their krautrocky side, slow, drifty and lots of arpeggios (soundtrack for new-age porno?), the shitty bitrate really hurts the more subtle stuff. I prefer the Matias Aguayo one below (amazing!)

Christ, and here I was thinking that this is why I download things before buying them— this album just seems aggressively OK. Like, yeah, has Cure tones. Cure meets Banco de Gaia. Wind chimes? Again, this seems like OK music to just have on in the background, but I am totally not getting the "BEST ALBUM EVAR!"-ness of it.

rasmus has kindly supplied us with this week's session; 'the blue room mix part 1' is packed with beats and treats from the depths of his dusty crates - in fact so deep that the tracklisting must remain secret!
i've heard or own more than half the stuff on there.

Those A Mountain of One tracks on their myspace page sound amazing. "Ride" sort of splits the difference between Studio and the Mungolian Jet Set remix of Lindstrom's "A Blast of Loser" (a total beardo/balearic classic in my opinion).

The AMO1 stuff on their myspace page sounds even more eighties rock sheen than Studio, to the point where I can imagine it being off-putting to some people, but it also reminds me of Bark Psychosis a bit - especially of the early ambienty songs on Independence. There's a real sense of vastness.

i have to say, all i've got to go on for either of these bands is the stuff on myspace, and while The Studio was pretty much love at first listen, AMO1 has not grabbed me yet. almost too 'rock' if that makes sense? but then listening on one crappy earphone while at work is prob not the best way in...

Hi Dere,
Late to the party on this one, but after much considered listening, I can conclude that West Coast is utterly classic (and that's after initially hating the vocals).
The opening and closing tracks are monumental.
I can honestly say this is the best recommendation of something that I was previously totally ignorant about that I've had since frequenting this site (narrowly pipping Maurice Fulton), so thanks a lot.

people comparing this to primal scream, happy mondays, cure, disco inferno, ar kane. all bands (besides maybe the cure) that i would never listen to. what i'm hearing is closer to this description from the warm HQ blog
Taking its influences from the rhythmic structure of Krautrock, mixing electronic beats with beautiful looped cosmic guitar work, Ashra / Gottsching style and at other times tracks are reminiscent of early 80s work by Arthur Russell, having a similar kind of post-punk alt-disco fragility. Part Balearic, part cosmic, part new wave, part Krautrock, "West Coast is one debut not to be missed!
― jaxon, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 18:56 (5 years ago) Permalink
plus lots of roxy music (yes i know they're british)
― jaxon, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 18:57 (5 years ago) Permalink
Well, you should listen to Disco Inferno but that's a separate matter (as I mumbled above, I didn't quite hear them in West Coast). The Cure connection in the vocals and bass at a couple of points is pretty clear, I think, and AR Kane were Russell freaks so there's that. Anyway, larger point -- rather than saying, "Instead of THAT batch of influences I hear THIS (because I like it more and therefore I am validated)" wouldn't it make more sense to say, "This can all be part of it."

jaxon, the influence of the mondays and the cure on he record is pretty large on this record - just because you don't like them, or think you don't, doesn't mean it's not a big part what's going on here. "i hear good times calling me... solid good times!" is pure sean ryder as is the vocal on the next track. No Comply could so easily be reconfigured in my head as a mondays tune.

― Iain Macdonald, Thursday, 20 September 2007 10:21 (5 years ago) Permalink
Thing is "Part Balearic, part cosmic, part new wave, part Krautrock" is a perfect description of the Mondays. So it might be a matter of shared influences. I mean, it was Oakenfold in his post-summer of love ibizan incarnation who produced pills and thrills, you know. Have you heard Bob's Your Uncle?
Studio def have more lead guitar and the slight reggaeish thing.
Anyway, it's a great record.
― Jamie T Smith, Thursday, 20 September 2007 10:29 (5 years ago) Permalink
There;s definitely a faint thuggishness about the vocals sometimes, that may be a borrowed thing, too. Leaning on a vocal style from another language without quite realising the feel - maybe you US/Aus people don't pick that up, but it's (and I shudder to write this) almost reminiscent of Hard-Fi or something at times.
― Jamie T Smith, Thursday, 20 September 2007 10:34 (5 years ago) Permalink
OK - Studio has been doing some great remixes (or remakes as they call it themselves)recently. Shout Out Louds "Imposssible", Rubies "The Keyes" and most recently the B-side to A Mountain of Ones new 12 "Brown Piano".

Yeah, it's like the best possible outcome you could expect from the phrase "Studio remix Kylie". I love how they make their sound just that much lighter and airier for her so that you can hear the pop song beating at the center of the remix, while not sacrificing a bit of their own atmospheric attractions. That guitar refrain is glorious.
Also, people who like the spacier/percussive end of Studio's stuff should really check out Deadbeat's Resident Advisor podcast.

Is West Coast itself still only available on vinyl? I have no problem with Yearbook 1 per se (elongated version of Origin especially). But the edited version of Self Service breaks my heart, especially as it does away with my favourite bit (the trancey Europop keyboards playing softly in the background in the middle, that then pitch up).

we've been through this upthread.
― gr8080, Thursday, 1 November 2007 01:58 (5 years ago) Permalink
To be clear:
The long version of "Self Service" and the short versions of "Indo" and "Origin" are only on the 2006 edition of West Coast.
The versions of the tracks on the the 2007 edition of West Coast are the same as on Yearbook 1, however the tracklisting is the same as for the 2006 edition of West Coast.
The 2007 edition of West Coast is available on both vinyl and CD. The 2006 edition was only ever released on vinyl.
It does seem odd that they went for the shorter version of "Self Service" for the re-release - despite the edition of the piano it's not a patch on the original extended version.

Having lived with the newer versions of the songs for a couple of days I will happily give up the old Self Service if it means getting the new, longer Indo. Those two intertwining guitar refrains = sublime! I love the way it feels so propulsive despite the fact there's not a sniff of a beat.
That and the revamped Origin (love that chunky bassline) have cemented its album-of-the-year status for me.

we've had it at Amoeba here in SF for months....
Information was being distro'd by Amato, who went down spectacularly a few weeks ago. here in SF, i was buying them through Forced Exposure (who bought thru Amato), and we were getting them at a decent domestic price - it retailed for $15. Since Amato went down, Forced is out of stock and who knows when they'll restock.
I bought some from one our UK distros as a stopgap - but they're hitting the floor for $23, a huge bummer. On the flipside, i contacted the label themselves who agreed to sell me as many as i wanted for the same price Forced was selling them. if you can wait, i would. the price will come down soon enough.

― gr8080, Saturday, 8 December 2007 00:05 (5 years ago) Permalink
Vahid you can be happy with West Coast I think - "No Comply" and "Radio Edit" are actually the weakest tracks on Yearbook I (although oddly they occupy opposite ends of the Studio spectrum - the former being their most compressed pop and the latter being their most formless and spacey). If Yearbook I actually had the long version of "Self Service" on it it might be more U&K.
The short version of "Self Service" is great anyway, just not quite as... I will post the long version of "Self Service" here for people who've missed out a bit later on.
BTW yes a Studio DJ Kicks would be great.

no comply's weird, too - it was the only real obstacle to liking the group when i first heard it, as i didn't especially like the song at first listen and figured the rest was probably similar - but it's only really the first couple minutes that brings it down, and i like the second half of the song as much as about anything from the more song-y sections of the album. though i suppose that could be down to boredom through familiarity, cause i usually skipped the track when the record started to grow on me

Some thoughts re recent Studio remixes (Kylie, Love Is All, Williams, A Mountain of One):
Interesting how all of these fit much more cleanly into prevailing tide of Balearic revivalism than their actual album does - they sound more enamoured of the disco beat on these remixes, and more distant from post-punk or baggy rhythms.
I wonder if this stronger disco infatuation will carry through to their future work.
The lack of a need to tie their wanderings down to one of their own songs also makes them both more expansive and wispy (longer sections where the grooves just wander around on 4X4 propulsion and sparing bass and background strings and echo and flashes of incadescent spanish guitar, without the need to fit into some overarching theme) and more obvious and cheesy (said effects are introduced simply because they sound good).
Like, the point halfway through the "Love on a Real Train" where sudden cut-up snippets of vocals drift in and the whole arrangement seems to bubble over.... brilliant.
The "Turn The Radio Off" remix is even cheesier: the middle-section with the "eh eh eh eh eh" background vocal and the lead vocal comes in is totally Ibiza in the mid-90s sense as much as the 1987 or 2007 sense.
― Tim F, Sunday, 27 January 2008 02:31 (5 years ago) Permalink

Sally Oldfield - Hide & Seek
And yes it's pretty astonishing. Sally is Mike Oldfield's sister! Can anyone report back on her albums? Judging from the covers the early ones (from late 70s/early 80s) look like lost balearic prog-Britfolk-pop classics, like a proto-Enya maybe.
I'd love to make a mixtape of just stuff like this - Happy Rhodes in particular could totally be repositioned as a hipster curio if you chose the right tracks.
A friend of mine who's really into minimal, dub-techno, dubstep etc. as well as a fair swathe of indie grabbed me recently and handed me his iPod and said "you gotta listen to this, it's amazing!!!" -it was the Ashley Beedle remix of "Running Up That Hill" in the middle of a DJ set, he had no idea what it was.

I quite fancy it, but I'm not very good at staying up late or going 'clubbing' rather than 'indie-discoing' and I'm going to see Low anyway. RA says it might be sold out too.
― Bocken Social Scene, Friday, 18 April 2008 16:30 (5 years ago) Permalink
I bought a ticket months ago because I've been dying to see Chromatics, but I'm old and fat and non-clubby and bummed about having to get to West London post-Chromatics and then get up and work and... fuck!
I wonder who the "special secret guests" are... probably not a band, I guess, with a 2 hour slot like that.
I guess I should just go for it. I know I'll have at least 5 people coming up to me through the night thinking I'm the bouncer. Depressing.
― Savannah Smiles, Friday, 18 April 2008 16:34 (5 years ago) Permalink
The music on that Sally Oldfield sounds like it could be Goblin! The initial riff sounds like something off the Deep Red soundtrack. (No great surprise I guess since they copped a good bit've their act from her bro in the first place).
― Raw Patrick, Friday, 18 April 2008 22:40 (5 years ago) Permalink
Steve - it's sold out, as far as I can tell. There might be a very limited number of tickets available on the door and someone else who's going with us might have one spare but otherwise looks a bit late.
I'm not sure how special or secret those Special Secret Guests would have to be to get me staying past 7.30, mind.

I guess I hoped it might be Glass Candy, but apparently there were some issues getting them to come on this tour (which was supposed to be the plan originally, I heard).

The special guests are someone DJing somewhere else in London on that night, or so I read.

Just got this from Bengans:
129:- (EXKL. FRAKT 29:-) RELEASE 28/5
Med sin debut "Yearbook 1" 2007 satte Dan Lissvik och Rasmus Hägg aka. Studio sitt namn ordentligt på världskartan. Hyllningar över hela världen och utsålda konserter följde denna minst sagt stil och banbrytande duo från Göteborg. Inte minst var bandet ett hett namn på remixmarknaden och "Yearbook 2" väver samman dessa mixar som tidigare ej funnits tillängliga på CD. Och det är inga smånamn som Studio kan lägga på sin remix-merit lista. Shout Out Louds, A Mountain Of One, Tangerine Dream och till och med självaste Kylie Minogue.
In english
The new album from swedish remix-masters Dan Lissvik and Rasmus Hägg aka Studio is soon to be released. If you liked Yearbook 1, you will not be disappointed with this!
Tracklist: A Mountain Of One - Brown piano (remake by Studio) Shout Out Louds - Impossible (possible remake by Studio) Love Is All - Turn the radio off (remake by Studio) Rubies - Room without a key (version by Studio) Brennan Green - Escape from chinatown (version by Studio) Kylie Minogue - 2 hearts (version by Studio) Williams/Tangerine Dream - Love on a real train (version by Studio)

from factmagazine:
Gothenburg-based duo Studio will release Yearbook 2, a compilation of their remixes, on June 16 through independent label Information. The follow-up to 2007's glorious West Coast (one of both FACT and Rough Trade's top 10 albums of the year) consists of 7 reversions (they're more like epic Balearic dubs) that Rasmus Hagg and Dan Lissvik previously created for the likes of Kylie, Love Is All, A Mountain of One and all-girl trio Rubies. Described by us, among others, as the missing link betweeen The Cure, Manuel Gottsching and LCD Soundsystem, produced by Martin Hannett, Studio had planned to release their second artist album this summer. However, the pair have scrapped tracks they were working on and are now planning to take a live band into the studio with them this autumn. The resulting LP is expected in early 2009. For now, at least, there's Yearbook 2...

― uncannydan, Friday, 16 May 2008 22:31 (5 years ago) Permalink
I would much rather see them with a live band than behind laptops to be honest. The thing that's so great about West Coast is how they've made something so carefully constructed, so precisely sculpted, feel so organic and loose. But I'm not sure that approach would translate to the stage - full band all the way for me.
― Matt DC, Friday, 16 May 2008 22:49 (5 years ago) Permalink
how much of the stuff on the last album was live?
― max, Friday, 16 May 2008 22:50 (5 years ago) Permalink
Ah right, you're talking about the second record. Not sure it would make a huge difference to the end product, except maybe the beats, presumably they can afford to hire session musicians this time around.
― Matt DC, Friday, 16 May 2008 22:51 (5 years ago) Permalink
"not sure what to expect with a live band, tho -- don't want to be reactionary hater, but i'd rather not see them try to break into the indie scene, & they're hardly shying away from it judging from their choice in bands to remix"
Although interestingly their remixes are by and large less indie sounding than the album - or at least more obviously enamoured with disco and sans wailing vocals.
Otherwise I get where you're coming from. I guess it depends on how they do it. I'm hoping that live band doesn't = live studio performance, because what's clear from both the first album and the remixes is how much of the magic of their work comes from the editing and overdubbing process.
But I suspect what "live band" means is: a lot of recording of session musicians and then editing/overdubbing everything into one piece.
― Tim F, Saturday, 17 May 2008 00:47 (5 years ago) Permalink
"their choice in bands to remix" = the bands that are offering them cash. It's not like they're phoning up Love is All and begging to remix them. That's not how it goes.
― Raw Patrick, Saturday, 17 May 2008 01:37 (5 years ago) Permalink
it's not a criticism, patrick! but they're pretty hot right now - yearbook 1 / west coast got into plenty year end lists, they're remixing kylie minogue, and they're balearic's ambassador to the ilx-crit world - so yeah, i think they do get some choice so far as who they want to remix

But it sounds more like Studio than it sounds like Kylie or Love Is All. On first listen I thought I might prefer it to YB1, but I'll think about that for a while. It's possible that I just prefer other singing to their singing.
I'm probably reading too much into things, but on the sleeve different tracks are described as 'versions', 'remixes' and 'remakes' - does this mean they might have actually re-recorded the songs themselves rather than working with original tracks?

The most widespread and painfully boring critical line on "nu-Balearic" music is that its primary function is to render previously intolerable music tolerable-to-hipsters, redeeming Elton John or Paul Simon via the canny addition of a disco beat and some dub echo. This take isn't wrong, exactly, but it's the kind of sociological analysis that makes you hate the world a little bit more after reading it, rather like earnest discussions of how to woo soccer moms for votes.

I just absolutely love the fact Pitchfork never reviewed West Coast. They've been on a hot roll lately, reviewing "it" bands (mostly honestly very good ones, like Fleet Foxes). Similar to Cutty's thread, the inner hipster in me is frustrated by people who only use Pitchfork to listen to new music. However, it seems Pitchfork has been quick to spot (or influence) the newest trends, and finging West Coast on my own is a rare victory.
I'm lame.

i went to their studio in göteborg today. i don't know what the published interview is going to look like, but before i forget everything they said when i wasn't recording...
-that Fact magazine info about scrapping tracks for a live studio album in 2009 was either never true or no longer true. they're working on one new remix, overseeing fontän's debut album (who play live instruments; i got the feeling that studio were going to tour vicariously through them).. they don't have any definite album release plans, although they have three albums worth of material 'in the can.' they're unsure when or if they'll release any of it. (west side was culled from material that dates back to 2003)´ -vahid: they had to edit self-servce to fit it on cd. -'balearic music' is any music played while wearing a sailor hat.

Many thanks to Tim F. & Co. for your references to Disco Inferno - a discovery nearly as great as West Coast itself.
Fwiw (and impressively, to me, anyway), iTunes (US) sells the otherwise out-of-print "In Debt" in the "iTunes Plus" mode.

So, has anyone heard the Fontän single? Got it from iTunes. It's a gorgeous song, hazy Pink Floyd like vocals, solid driving drums and terrific double-barreled guitars (what a rush when they come in for the first time so early in the song). Remixes by A Mountain of One (with a bassline reminiscent of Air, Twilight Zone synths and "Love Like Blood" lite guitars) and Studio who reconstruct the song in their typical fashion.

perfect faux-Cure mopery
"perfect" is not an adjective which should ever be near a phrase like "faux-cure mopery"!
― lex pretend, Sunday, 19 October 2008 22:51 (4 years ago) Permalink
Lex I love you but you're hardly going to have a nuanced judgement regarding this issue!
I mean I'm confidently guessing our disagreement here goes well past Studio to include The Tough Alliance, Shy Child, Animal Collective/Panda Bear, JLC remixes of The Killers etc. - basically any mixture of (or, from your perspective, contamination of) dancey or electronic arrangements with white male vocals.
― Tim F, Sunday, 19 October 2008 23:17 (4 years ago) Permalink
I'm not trying to parody your position BTW - I have also held with it at certain times. But one of the things that (specifically) the "Mr. Brightside" remix made me realize was that my long-standing disinterest with what we might call the indie impulse wasn't tied to the properties of indie music (guitars, stodgy "grooves", slightly whiny or plaintive sounding male vocals, a fear of sex or physicality etc.) but rather the way all of these things were inevitably articulated together, such that you couldn't have one without the others. Call it the "hegemonic predictability" of these traits.
What i realized was: break the hegemony, and I can enjoy these traits again. So, like, I can see for you that "The Cure goes to the beach" becomes a detractor because it involves "The Cure", whereas for me any band whose reference point was "The Cure" alone would probably not interest me, but the "...goes to the beach" both interests me and actually makes "The Cure" (as a signifier) interesting again.
― Tim F, Sunday, 19 October 2008 23:21 (4 years ago) Permalink
i like a whole load of electronic music w/white male vox! including the jlc killers rmx (though i look askance at this tipping over into actual original killers appreciation). junior boys, kelley polar, franck garcia, even booka shade's newer vocal tracks. the studio singer's voice is so ridiculously strained and inadequate though, i find it works against what the music's doing too much...the music is so focused on blissfulness, and the strained clumsiness of the voice is too disruptive. it's like he wants to be like the black devil disco club singer but falls woefully short.
i've never heard the tough alliance or shy child, but i think you know about my very real, very visceral dislike of animal collective
― lex pretend, Sunday, 19 October 2008 23:35 (4 years ago) Permalink
i think his voice fits perfectly, nice n languid. don't think he sounds that much like robert smith.
― stone cold all time hall of fame classics (internet person), Monday, 20 October 2008 00:00 (4 years ago) Permalink
i definitely prefer studio's instrumental tracks to their tracks with vocals. but for me it's so much the singer's voice itself, it's just that the presence of vocals make the tracks feel more ordinary somehow... i think i agree with lex when he says it works against the music. i definitely can't experience the same level of escapism with "west side" and "self service" as i can with "out there" and "life's a beach".

he's got a nice voice overall but he's kind of like the waterboys guy in that he slips back and forth through blatant imitation of other vocalists (smith, shaun ryder, bernard sumner..)

Known for their Balearic rock edits on their own imprint, Parlour are now set to do a mix for Information that consists only of rare and unreleased tracks from their long-time friends Frak.
Frak were present on the Swedish experimental synth scene throughout the late '80s and early '90s, and released a swathe of material. Most of this only saw the light of day on cassette, with the group bridging out to vinyl in the later stages of their career. Parlour have had a long-term connection to Börft, who released Frak's work originally, and are set to compile some of the rarer cassette-only material as a mix on Studio's Information label.
Parlour have spent hours going through all of the old Frak tapes, and have compiled the highlights into a continuous 57 minute mix that spans new beat, acid house and more minimal synth workouts. Spotters might be unhappy that no tracklisting will be contained, but with Frak anonymity was certainly part of the point and the compilation serves as a great introduction to their cassette-only material from 1988-1992.
Tracklist01. 57.30
Information release Frak - 88-92 Extended Tempo Mix by Parlour on 17th November.

I tend not to talk up the long "Origin" as much as the long "Self Service", perhaps partly because talking up the long "Self Service" confers dorky music cred points. The long versions of both sound a lot more like each other than the short versions, so they're... not interchangeable, but they stand at the centre of the record as twin attempts to totally marry the group's pop song side with tantric longform grooves. Both kinda veer off into the latter completely in their second half with marvelous results.

The long Self Service has that great trancey synth hook that pops up about half way through and is absent from the short one.

glad you guys like it. i don't think they were talking too much shit. whatever they said about the scene there, they seemed to really admire embassy, and they're buds with tough alliance (who they called during the interview to see if they wanted to drop by; their studio is down the street). boat club isn't really on the map.. the AF guys are also friends with TA (and good friends with Boat Club) but they only know studio dudes as acquaintances. no one said anything specifically, but i think if there is any sort of artistic rivalry, it's between studio and air france. the week i was there, the only tracks outranking studio's on the (something like) swedish iTunes was the entire AF ep. but, again, no one said anything, and that could all be over now... everyone i talked to when i was there thought the world of jens lekman, as a person and a performer.

Yeah the comment about "singing into flowers with the record playing" sounded like the kind of shit you talk about your friends.
Now I'm imagining Gothenburg gatherings where everyone's friends with everyone else except Studio and Air France, qwho kind of circle eachother awkwardly, knowing that only one of them can occupy the mutually desired structural position in the friendship circle.

Ha! I'm delusional if I think I'm going to be the gatekeeper of cool here and change lives with all the great songs (that's right, "West Coast" wasn't the only thing I put in the folder) I brought straight outta heaven (cue Clinton's "celestial choirs" bit from the primaries). I don't think that's going to happen.
I should've mentioned that they could tell I don't dig that stuff (amazed I'd never heard "Fade to Black" in its entirety) and asked for a few of my own picks.
The thing about playing music with people who have no big interest in music -- I have plenty of experience here, others must too -- is eventually you just get sick of faking smiles and shoving stuff out like "oh yeah, that's a pretty cool song, I remember that one." People deserve your honesty, not paternalism like "here's something you might like," which they rightly read as "something you might understand" with a pat on the head.
To preempt: "no big interest" doesn't mean lack of real raw intimate passion etc. It just means without broad curiosity, ie not getting five albums a day through Google Reader feeds. Which is exhausting :p

― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 31 March 2009 15:52 (4 years ago) Permalink
perro can get in the way at times, but she is also the reason some of these songs work so well. i think i just like it when she isn't going through the indie-pop/twee motions, like on "change of heart" when she aims for golden-era stevie nicks and actually gets kind of close. or any of the other songs where she goes for kate bush vibes and again it works most of the time.
her vocals are clearly different than the guy from 'a mountain of one', but similar in that they can make or break this type of song-based balearic stuff. it also reminds me of the tiedye and studio remixes of that rubies song, for obvious reasons

Swedish duo Jesper Jarold and Jahin Melin are the guys behind the Fontan project, and whilst they're relatively fresh as far as recorded output is concerned (with only a single for Information and a remix of A Mountain Of One preceding the album), they've been working on music out of their hometown of Gothenburg for a number of years. Jesper was previously in a band with Studio's Rasmus Hagg, and comparisons can definitely be drawn with the sunkissed Balearic style of their good friends and studio mates.

winterhwila is so, so great! not beachy like studio, more mountainy or something. land of the dragon unwinds neanderthaler's awesome slow-build to takeoff with the sweetest spaghetti balearic jam imaginable, the hummed vocals are just too much! i'm having trouble not just listening to this album again and again, and as much as i love west coast, if studio became full time producers that would be a-ok with me after hearing this

Got it recently. On sale here. It's an incredibly sprawling record. At times dreamy, twee, gypsy, grooving - you name it. Something to dive into and get lost in. The first part of the final track, epic diptych "The Ship", has the atmosphere of Bowie's "All the Madmen", while the second part takes Can's "Mother Sky" as a template and rocks the album off to a wonderful finish.
― willem, Friday, 10 July 2009 20:38 (3 years ago) Permalink
it's good. more guitars than studio and maybe better vocals.
i have to say i prefer the vocals on studio's stuff so much more, even though i really really enjoy the instrumentals on winterhwila (which comprise like 85% of the album anyway). they definitely ruin "early morning" and "the bridge" for me though, which is a shame because i do love the rest of it

I've listened to the album a couple times through, and "a bit dull" may be a fair description. I was expecting more pop rock songs in the vein of Early Morning, but the album is more low-key and primarily instrumental. I like their vocals. Also, I don't know if I would say that Fontan has more guitars than Studio, and I def think Studio's guitar plaing is better.

y'know Taken by Trees is touring with El Perro Del Mar. One album produced by Rasmus, the other by Lissvik. If only those guys would be on tour with them. I'm going to see the show but I'm not expecting it to come close to the beauty that is captured on the studio versions.

Bought this on a whim last night, and while I was initially upset at myself for my disgusting lack of restraint in spending money on music, I knew it would all be well after I listened to it, and (halfway through the last track) I can say all is better than well.
This is a damn near perfect album, if not a bona-fide perfect album.

This is my favourite review of a review of mine, ever:
StudioYearbook 2[Information; 2008]
Pitchfork gave it a 7.8.
I'm thinking the main takeaway from the above-linked review by Tim Finney is that this album failed to help him make any progress with a girl he was interested in. I might be reading a little too much into it, but that sounds about right. He played her a Kylie Minogue remix that's on this, told her it would blow her mind, and then she said "it sounds like the Gypsy Kings," which God Bless, is about the most withering put down of all time. I don't know why you'd lead off your review with such a crash and burn tale, other than to say "I've got blinders on for this stuff; maybe it's a problem to the point where it's ruining my ability to interact with others." In which case, it's kind of a ballsy move to say "this is me, I have no balls." But I still have a feeling I'd rather read her review of both the album and the incident.
I wonder if she'd say what I suspect: girls like boys who like boy music.

its def not bad, but its like... just another remix. i guess its kinda interesting in that there's a bit more paranoia seeping into the blissed out studio sound.

i like this remix!
how do people feel about that tiedye remix dan lizzvik did on the italians do it better 'solid gold' compilation? not sure i love tiedye when they do vocals but the song is rad and his voice is still more tolerable than a lot of what's on yearbook 2. also the combination of studio + tiedye makes a lot of sense, starting to think that they could give studio a run for their money if they ever release an album

It seems you are working mostly as a solo artist nowadays. Is there more material to be expected with Rasmus Hägg as Studio?
– We do some remixes from time to time, but I work mainly as a producer for other artists right now. Studio is on hold at the moment, but kept in consideration.
How about the remixes – there is a Lissvik remix of a Tiedye song coming out on the Jolly Jams label – any others to be released in the near future?
– Not sure about release dates but here's some: Steve Mason - Just A Man (Studio remix), Arp - Pastoral Symphony (Studio remix), Bear in Heaven - You Do You (Studio remix), Foals - Miami (Lissvik remix), James Yuill - First in Line (Lissvik remix) and Architeq - Odyssey (Lissvik remix).

Where did the news of the Korallreven remix come from? I really like what I've heard of Korallreven - their track with Taken By Trees suits her voice perfectly, and the Nhessington's remix of "Loved-Up" is one of the dreamiest, sunniest things I've heard in a long time.

First MP3 sample from the Young Galaxy/Lissvik album - "Peripheral Visionaries". (I wrote the press release.)
This song features back-up vocals by Swedish pop-singer Hanna Lovisa, with whom Lissvik and YG are collaborating for another album.
― sean gramophone, Thursday, 11 November 2010 20:54 (2 years ago) Permalink
Hannah Lovisa used to be in Cat5 who released a decent if frivolous album in 2006. Both her and the other member, Christina Roos, have some pretty good stuff up on their Myspaces - I really like Christina Roos track "To The Sea", plus they're both rather pleasing to look at.

There were two other Lissvik demos going around in 2010 (as well as "Practice"). They were called 23 and 72.

Those guitar bursts in "Life's A Beach" are very similar to "Up The Beach". I don't think they are post rock janes addiction but this could have been intentional.
