New album from Swedish duo! The Moonbabies third full-length album "At The Ballroom" is their finest work to date. Swedish duo Ola Frick and Carina Johansson started their career in the late nineties honing their songwriting craft. The first album "June and Novas" was released 2001 and the follow up "The Orange Billboard" from 2004 saw them make some major leaps with releases in the US and in continental Europe. The new album contains the track "War On Sound" (which first appeared on the War On Sound Mini-Album, that was featured on popular US TV show "Grey's Anatomy" as well as the Grey's Anatomy Vol. 2 CD collection), plus 10 new songs, the best of their career.

the orange billboard Moonbabies - The Orange Billboard (AHA!059)
CD $10.00 buy
"Indie pop has relied happily on the hug'n'kiss of melody and charm for plenty a year, and the formula has yet to fail. Still, it's heartening to find some curious souls willing to plug that sweet sentiment into greater stylistic wanderlust and groovy electronic adventurism." (All Music Guide)

“ The Orange Billboard” is the sophomore album by Malmö, Sweden’s Moonbabies. The duo comprised of Carina Johannsson and Ola Frick weaves a tapestry of sound bringing together elements as varied as Yo La Tengo’s atmospheric pop, The Postal Service’s laptop cinema, My Bloody Valentine’s lulling crush, The Notwist’s melancholy electronica, Stereolab’s vintage twinkle, The Beatles’ “A Day In The Life,” Azure Ray’s haunted shadowplay, Sonic Youth’s desire to push farther, Måns Wieslander’s melodic pop sensibility, Kate Bush's outstretched wings, Stars’ heart-on-a-sleeve, and Broken Social Scene’s kitchen sink. Integrating these influences with shared male and female singing and a lush sound-world Moonbabies have created a marvelous record. You may very well buy a record as good as “The Orange Billboard” this year, but you will NOT buy one better. Seemingly coming out of nowhere, this is the biggest surprise of the year. This is the record you’ll want to tell friends about. This is the record you’ll put on your year-end Top Ten list. Here they are, the Moonbabies – your new favorite band.
