Spoon The Chrysler - Cold War Classic (SKIV-003)
CD $10.00

Domestic release for The Chrysler's second album, with 5 bonus tracks. 'Cold War Classic' is the second full-length release from mysterious Swedish folk-pop band The Chrysler, recorded in a little cabin outside Katrineholm, Sweden; an album filled with hope, agony, and clarinets. The band’s debut album 'Failures And Sparks' was well-received by music writers, who have compared The Chrysler's enigmatic, bonfire folk and baroque, jangling pop to The Byrds, Neil Young, Simon & Garfunkel, Nick Drake, The Band, Belle & Sebastian, The Velvet Underground, Lambchop, and Norway’s Kings Of Convenience. Guest appearances by Laakso vocalist Martin Krunnegard and Swedish songstress Britta Person. As with their debut album 'Failures And Sparks', released in late-2005 by Galaxy Gramophone/PLG, the U.S. edition of 'Cold War Classic' will be augmented with five bonus tracks, the songs from their Blue Gold and First Blood EPs, including their cover of Bob Dylan’s "Changing of the Guards".

"Sweet music, with a touch of evil" explains The Chrysler, out of the quiet, into the quieter…

Isolation Years - Inland Traveller (SKIV-001)
CD $10.00 buy

Inland Traveller is the debut album from Scandinavian quintet Isolation Years. The band, from Umeå in northern Sweden, employs a wide array of traditional folk (accordion, saw, mandolin) and rock instrumentation (vocals, guitar, bass, drums) and filters their songs through an elemental and psychedelic spiritualism. The band's unswerving attention to depth and detail within a song, along with vocalist Jakob Nystrom's haunting voice and arcane lyrical imagery, recall some of finest psych-folk bands on the planet. Is he singing about alien abduction or Armageddon...or just winter?
