Inden svenske The Field virkelig begyndte at opleve den medvind, som fulgte hans 2007-album From Here We Go Sublime , udsendte han og deltog på forskellige EP'er. Heriblandt finder vi også Are You Scared To Get Happy? , som er en kompilation fra det Stockholm-baserede indielabel Friendly Noise . Friendly Noise var et lille kollektiv af selektive og kvalitetsbevidste mennesker der, i løbet af deres levetid, udsendte i alt tre kompilationer. Den første blev døbt Friendly People Making Noise (2003), den anden Are You Scared To Get [...]

In Stephen Fry's latest Sunday night series, Last Chance To See , our erudite, ubiquitous hero goes off in search of endangered species. In this week's episode, Stephen was off to New Zealand on the trail of the kakapo, a "fat, flightless parrot which, when threatened with attack, adopts a strategy of standing very still indeed." The kakapo also seems to have a predilection for shagging hapless TV cameramen, as the following clip illustrates perfectly. Seldom has the expression 'love hurts' rung quite so true! Action Biker - Love [...]
Some days the weather makes the find for you, too calm, too well lit, a bit windy, a bit nervous, controlling the experience. We all know that as an individual, we don't stand a chance against nature. So why even pretend that we are doing something. What happens is going to happen, what the people say about what happened is a silly misunderstanding that they could have somehow been important to the outcome. "He seemed like such a nice guy", "She was always so forgiving", "I always suspected there was something going on...". Those lines are all bullshit. The end [...]
The Anglo/Swedish duo The Dreamers has released a new and free two track single on the fine Friendly Noise label. I last wrote about the band when they released their beautiful debut album "Day for night" in 2007, and this is their first release since then. Kevin Wright and Sarah Nyberg Pergament , who are the two members in The Dreamers, have meanwhile been busy with their own projects, – Sarah has released her debut as Action Biker with [...]
(photo half-inched from the London Popfest Flickr page) I saw that Action Biker the other week, at a pub in Hoxton (or was it Shoreditch? I'm seriously not in any danger of collecting a "Knowledge" Green Badge any time soon) as part of the London Popfest (great job Marianthi! ). If you've read this blog for any sort of time you'll know that I'm a big fan of Sarah's so it was great to finally see her in action (biker). And what a set! It was a mixture of the new and the [...]
It's one of my favourite places on the 'net, yet I barely understand a word of it. Swedish-language music and popular culture website PSL is such a boon for me because it's full-to-bursting with specially-filmed live performances of individual songs in all kinds of unlikely places by a multitude of top artists and bands. This month alone PSL-shot promos have appeared on the site by M. Ward, The Ladybug Transistor, The Weakerthans, Hanna Hirsch, Skansros, David Sandström Overdrive, and Tobias Fröberg. (Spike and me once met Tobias Fröberg in the bar after a gig where he'd [...]
Pic: Henrik Dahlberg Ya había posteado algo de Sarah Pergament o más facilmente conocida como Action Biker , la formula es sencilla, electrónica sofisticada, el infaltable pop que se acomoda a todo y una insinuadora melancolía que por momentos me recuerda a los sonidos de fondo de Ghost In The Shell , combinar todo lo anterior no sería difícil para alguien que empezó a componer desde muy pequeña, el año pasado Action Biker lanzo "Hesperian Puisto" el disco que tiene el mismo nombre del vídeo que esta abajo, [...]

photo by Matthew Craig 1. Action Biker - "Refridgerator" (mp3) "I can't sleep tonight/ The fridge is making noise/ But I don't want to make it stop/ It goes on and on and on and on." Gothenburg-based Action Biker is Sarah Nyberg Pergament. Wait, the 8-bit video game? Yes, sadly another 8-bit allusion. Be that as it may, Pergament utilizes glumly curious expressions, which are often laden with a quaint timbre. "Refridgerator" brings to mind the playful and breathy melodies of Saint Etienne. Each breeze of resonant synthesizers waft her studiedly [...]
Just why are there so many great Swedish bands out there? It's a question that's troubled musicologists for decades. Or perhaps it hasn't. But still, it's an incontrovertible fact that there are quite literally oodles of ridiculously talented types hailing from that particular part of Scandanavia. Take the relatively obscure Kissing Mirrors, for instance. Now, it's quite possible that I'd never even have got around to listening to this band had it not been for the fact that Kissing Mirrors is one of the many projects who blog favourite Sarah Nyberg Pergament AKA Action Biker has contributed to [...]
The Voom Blooms - "Anna" Once again I'm late to the party. Like really late. (They were listed as one the best new bands of 2006-2007 in Rolling Stones magazine, for Christ sake) Oh well. Doesn't make it any harder to enjoy their gritty yet very catchy indie-pop. Action Biker - "Love For Sure" One-woman indie-electronica from Sweden. I'm not particularly impressed with the album ("Hespirian Puisto") as a whole, but this sweet song is pretty hard to resist. Friendly [...]
Under the project " Action Biker " named after the C64/Atari game, Swedish electro pop chanteuse Sarah Nyberg Pergament makes lustrous music self described as "baroque on synths". Raised by both classical schooled musicians as parents, her musical interests hampered and flourished along with her notable influences and musical similarities to Young Marble Giants, Broadcast, Francoise Hardy, Saint Etienne, Stereolab and The Human League; for creating the basis of her textured synths, tapping drum machines and lush vocals in assembling this dreamy, wistful analogue drone. Her debut album titled Hesperian Puisto , takes its name [...]
"Squeal!" *frolic* "Yessssssssss!" This is what happened in my house this morning when my post arrived. The Dreamers ' debut album Day For Night had finally dropped on my doormat. I swooned and clapped when I first heard about The Dreamers because I already knew I loved Swedish wonder Sarah Nyberg Pergament (aka Action Biker) who is one half of The Dreamers. The other half is English songsmith Kevin Wright, who has gone by the recording name of Mr. Wright and was in the band Always on El Records. High pedigree indeed! [...]
