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".

The
Chrysler - Failures And Sparks
(SKIV-002)
CD
$10.00 
Galaxy Gramophone's U.S. release of The Chrysler's debut
full-length, Failures And Sparks, includes five lovely
bonus tracks. Considered a country act in their native
Sweden, The Chrysler's rootsy psychedelic revery is shaded
in eerie noir atmospheres. With Failures And Sparks The
Chrysler have assembled a shrine to their influences:
The Everly Brothers, The Band, Simon & Garfunkel,
The Velvets, and Neil Young. "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
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?
