Only one week to go before the release, meet the band through an interview and an exclusive playlist !<\/p>\n

First of all, could you tell us a bit about the story behind the band?<\/strong>
\nBack in 2006 Johan and Olov shared a flat in Gothenburg and overdosed on old indie vinyls (which was practically all they had in the flat…). At some point they decided to start a band only in order to release a 7\u201d in 100 copies and keep 99 copies under their bed. They explained the idea to Andreas over a cup of coffee (who at this point was mostly releasing house 12\u201d-singles and djing) and he reluctantly agreed to join. Anyhow, the 7\u201d was released a few months later and still resides under Olov\u2019s bed… We never even gave away that 1 copy. It\u2019s actually a really good single!
\nWe started doing some live shows and played several times at clubs run by Lina. One thing led to another and after a few months she had joined the band. No one really knows how it happened but it was a good thing.<\/p>\n

How would you describe your band and music in a few words?<\/strong>
\nDystopian indie afro… on a beach.<\/p>\n

What’s the best thing about having a single released on Kitsun\u00e9?<\/strong>
\nKitsun\u00e9 is one of those labels we always wanted to work with and through some fluke we made contact a few months ago. And we always wanted to see what we look like as cartoons! We look like monkeys… which is cool! We love monkeys.<\/p>\n

What would be your dream place for a concert?<\/strong>
\nBob Stanley\u2019s apartment or grand canyon.<\/p>\n

What’s the funniest thing that happened to you on the road?<\/strong>
\nBesides the usual stories of 11 people in a camper or sleeping on the floor of a Berlin ATM with homeless people it\u2019s probably the look of utter confusion and contempt we always get trying to order vegan food in France.<\/p>\n

What are your plans for the coming months?<\/strong>
\nWe\u2019re finishing our album, playing some shows, hanging out in our country houses in Sweden and enjoying summer in general. And then it\u2019s autumn and mild depression.<\/p>\n
