Ass "My get up and go just got up and went" HEAD 007
This is the follow-up to his astonishingly assured, eponymous selftitled debut. It finds him hacking through the folk undergrowth, his fluid dynamic underpinning a stark melancholy which simmers throughout. It’s a real treat, and a chance to hear the whispered charm of a subtly disarming performer. To paraphrase George Clinton - free your mind, and Ass will follow…
Dieter Schöön "Lablaza" HEAD 006
A voice filled with seemingly dead easy confidence, a character trait that all in all is the foundation of the whole record.
Ass "Ass" HEAD 005
Over the past years Andreas Söderström has played bass with multi-awarded pop genius Jenny Wilson, trumpet and lap-steel with the international renowned electronica-project Tape, and harmonium, key harp and guitar with contemporary folk/rock-combos as Barr, Pallin and Blood Music. Now is the time for one of Sweden’s most brilliant music minds to do his own thing: Ass – Andreas Söderström Solo, after a decade of talented but neglected living room recordings.
Yttling Jazz "Oh Lord, Why can't I keep my big mouth shut" HEAD 004
“Oh Lord, Why can’t I keep my mouth shut”is simultaneously the most respectful and the most disrespectful jazz-album that has come about in Sweden during the current century. With open referrals and even commentaries to his sources of inspiration and darlings; Charlie Mingus, Duke Ellington, Ornette Coleman, Don Ellis, Nino Rota, Lars Gullin, Ennio Morricone, Joe Meek, Jan Johansson and others, Björn Yttling and his men have blasted the prevalent framework of what jazz should sound like; and that regardless of what side you claim to belong to.
Gul 3 "Singlar 2005" HEAD 003
”For Gul 3 improvised music has always been connected to conceptual ideas, written music and graphic notation; our influences from classical music, jazz, noise and Fluxus orientated minimalism are brewed down to ONE musical unity”, as the trio themselves proclaims.
The Well "Original Soundtrack" HEAD 002
This is the soundtrack to Kristian Petris featurelength documentary about Orson Welles.. The film is a road movie, of sorts, where Petri travels through Spain, following in Welles footsteps, in search of clues and answers about Welles relationship to the spanish culture.
Goran Kajfes "Headspin" HEAD 001
It’s a sensual and extremely inviting world of sound that opens up, where the most slippery funk and the meanest industrial noise meets doomsday dub, Miles Davis "Filles de Kilimanjaro", Balkan sadness and the most luscious electronic tricks you can imagine. The producer David Österbergs loops and electronic rhythms brings Bugge Wesseltofts productions to mind but this is a much more spicy piece of work.
