New album from the Malmo-based trio of Marleen Nilsson, Anders Hansson and Magners Bodin. Following the critically-acclaimed `To Where The Wild Things Are' from 2015 and their haunting collection of soundtracks in between.

"Lush and enveloping, reminiscent of Curt Boettcher and Margo Guryan." The Wire "Fantastically eerie." Clash "Swedish exponents of dreamily lovely psych and lush, late-60s-style baroque pop." The Guardian Exposing the trio's love of all things retro with a nod to everything from Fun Boy Three to Orchestre Poly Rythmo de Contonou, while still roaming somewhere between an ambient Eno and Cocteau Twins at a late-night soiree.

A unique, individual sound: Longer, more plush and pampered; more hypnotic and haunting, mixing mellotron and affected guitar with a refined rhythm.

Electronic melancholy at its most evocative, riddled with super-memorable motifs and melodies that nestle in reflective echo.
