What a shitty one today is. My throat is sore and I’m more tired than ever, so will most likely miss the Michael Møller concert at Louisiana tonight. Bummer! Went to a birthday Tuesday evening and spent parts of the evening chatting with a 50 year old attorney. By that I obviously don't mean that there is anything wrong in being either 50 years old or an attorney. But at some point we (of course) ended up talking about music and must admit I [...]

Bakers At Dawn - Mad World [Tears For Fears] | zs
Yesterday was bad; in far too many ways. Wanted to write about it, but who really wants to read depressive shit? Personally I’m all right, but hate so much being a witness to things falling apart. I probably ought to be old enough to understand this by now, but I've always thought that life was all about being happy together; not hurting each other! Mad world? Fucked up world if you ask me! + bakers at dawn – mad world (Tears For Fears cover) [...]

Quick post on Sweden's "Bakers At Dawn" (or Marcus Sjöland) and his fantastic acoustic track "Undefined" from his 2009 album "You must hide your love forever". The song has a familiar style of guitar work that wouldn't feel out of place on a José González album. Arguably a more approachable track out of the 15 on the album that is freely downloadable on Peppermill Records ( here ) but it has such a comfortable feeling I had to have it on repeat for a few days. Sjöland is described as a music fiend (works in a record store, makes lots [...]
Don't watch this video, if you don't like watching people kissing. + love
The mailbox is still a mess, so my plan today was to bring out the broom and start sweeping. But my back is killing me and I've spent the first 30 minutes at work lying on the floor (far less painful than walking, standing or even sitting in a chair). So I guess the only right thing to do is to get some work done and then head home. Or simply wait for the damn painkillers to start working!
As mentioned yesterday ; the world has been really busy while I was away, but today I’ve been (and still am) trying my best to check updates, mails und so weiter. I swear. Someday I’m going to find out what is so fabulous about of Montreal . Unfortunately new track Coquet Coquette doesn’t quite provide the answer either! + Coquet Coquette Swedish one man project bakers at dawn is working on a new album (or more [...]

J-Fur and I recently finished watching season three of Dexter (I know we are way behind but that is what having just basic cable does to you). If you aren't familiar with the show it is about a man who works for the police but is also a serial killer. Pretty thrilling stuff. Anyway, during season three Dexter is in the process of getting married to his girlfriend Rita. During one episode Rita is trying to get Dexter's opinion on which type of cake to have, hazelnut or chocolate. Dexter choose the hazelnut. [...]

Bakers At Dawn - Undefined Swedish sleeper pick off the yvynyl Under the Blankets mixtape .

Ok, gotta admit, this is really lo-fi, even for me (and Lord knows I do tend to love my lo-fi), but the Malmö, Sweden based musician Bakers At Dawn aka Marcus Sjöland's new album You Must Hide Your Love Forever is actually really good! The album, which is free for download in its entirety from label Peppermill Records , provides song after song of experimental, melancholy acoustic goodness. I've provided you all with a few of my faves, plus the great new video [...]

Thanks to a recent post by Swedesplease , the premier US blog focused entirely on Swedish artists, I've discovered a new netlabel. The label: Peppermill Records . The post covers Bakers At Dawn , a Swedish artist that in the past year or so has released a few items on a FensePost favorite, Series II Records . Their latest finds the band diving headlong into a more experimental sound than the folk-pop on the Series II releases. "Mesmophone" finds Bakers At Dawn diving headlong into a more experimental sound [...]
I was shocked (shocked, I tell you!) to find out that the Malmö based band Bakers At Dawn have a new record out. It's called You Must Hide Your Love Forever and is available as a free download from Peppermill Records here . I haven't had a chance to absorb the whole thing, but as usual I'm fairly flabbergasted by the band's consistently great experimental lofi pop. After The War Bonus: Love And the video for [...]

« You Must Hide Your Love Forever « , voilà encore un album qui m'aura accompagné durant l'été. Bakers at Dawn , nous vient de Suède, avait déjà sorti un très bon album en 2008 téléchargeable légalement et gratuitement depuis son site myspace. Tout cela me rappèle un certain Elliott Smith dans les compositions et la voix... Bonheur garanti ! [MP3] Bakers at Dawn - The Instrument [...]

das feine label series two records aus columbus, nebraska, hat nachgelegt und nimmt sich nun auch der 3"- sparte an. das können vier bis sieben track eps sein, und allesamt sind sie voller charme und mutmachender elexiere. irgendwo brauche ich das derzeit auch, mal sticht die sonne brand und anderentags weinen die himmel. so schnell wechseln meine manisch-depressiven phasen sonst nicht. musikalische aufheller setzen kontrapunkte gegen die unregelmäßigkeit. die kleinen scheibchen sind wie immer limitiert und es sollte zugreifen, wer über zwei finger verfügt, denn die genügen zur internetbestellung! im katalog enthalten sind nun vier eps (+ [...]

Bakers At Dawn occasionally forwards me their new songs. I try never to let the opportunity to write about their music pass by ( here , here , here ). I like that Bakers at Dawn are continually adding to and refining their sound. Unlike other bands that I write who polish their pop until it shimmers and sparkles, Bakers at Dawn have a rough hewed experimental pop sound that may be more satisfying in the long run. It'd be much too simplistic to just write this off to regional influences, but their certainly does seem to [...]
The jury is still out on the concert tonight . I’m meeting a friend in Copenhagen for beer(s) and shawarma, and the mission tonight will be selling him the idea of going. But he has fairly decent taste in music, so shouldn’t be that hard…I hope! + Cleo Malone – The Way Down + The Imaginary Orchestra of Mr. Kite – The Mapmakers Dream We Had Faces Then [...]
