Taken from Pixie Carnation's Myspace: The product of two years of musical experimentation has culminated in what is now Pixie Carnation , a Swedish based, and yet very American sounding band. From the time that childhood friends Ola Pålsson and Tobias Hellkvist reconnected a few years ago there was an instant artistic connection, and it was only a matter of time before their sound and the band's lineup became what it is today. Despite it taking about a year and a [...]
