Often described as "Sweden´s slowest band", this time Reverend Big O from Malmö explore the album formula rather than the pace. The album is put together as one long single breath and the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The music is rooted in 90´s shoegaze sounds like Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine etc. as well as post-rockers like Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Explosions In The Sky.

The main contributors on this album are Nicklas Nilsson and Jörgen Dahlqvist. Nicklas is also a member of The Bell, a band with several releases in Europe and the U.S. Their music have attracted considerable attention and several of their songs have been heard in American TV-series like The Vampire Diaries, Jersey Shore etc. Jörgen Dahlqvist is artistic director for one of Sweden´s leading performing arts collective Teater Weimar, Dean of the theatre academy in Malmö 2009-2012. He was also co-founder of the legendary Swedish record label A West Side Fabrication in the late 80´s.

This is Reverend Big O´s second full-length album and their first for 23 Seconds Netlabel. Enjoy

23 Seconds Netlabel proudly presents our fifth release by the versatile indie icon Alan Driscoll, more known as The Womb.
The album is called "How To Deal With People Who Refuse To Leave A Burning Building" and
is derived from a wide variety of styles, moods and genres. It is a journey through groovy feelings, laid back electronica, hip-hop, lo-fi depression, electro pop, rock, quirky electropunk, lovely dance tunes, rhythms and stripped back soulful music. You name it. But most of all, it´s a completely brilliant anthemic indie album with great lyrics, where the spirit of Alan Driscoll is the unifying link.

Don´t miss one of The Wombs
strongest albums so far. Stream or download your copy for FREE and please help us spread the word!  Official Site: www.alandriscoll.com/thewomb

DET MEKANISKA UNDRET
Official site & Blog

Have you ever wondered what all the people are listening to when they travel on public transport? That thought has crossed Andreas Österberg's mind many times, and in spring 2011 he ended up creating a soundtrack to the classic tram line 11 in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Gothenburg is well-known for its tram system, which covers most of the city, thus makes it the most extensive tram system in Sweden and Scandinavia.
Tram line 11 travels from the suburb Bergsjön, throughout the city and further out towards Saltholmen and the sea. A journey from one side of Gothenburg to the other.

The trip was filmed and the music he made is synced for the trip and tries to catch the atmosphere around the stops along the line. Ten great songs that represent the different sections of the trip. Each song also got an unique art work that breathes the part of town that you pass through.

23 Seconds Netlabel is based in Gothenburg and tram line 11 passes by right outside our window. So we are of course a little bit extra proud to introduce you to this artist and his brilliant and skilfully implemented idea.
The music is also available as a free download and on Spotify.
