Dica do leitor Érico Prado Klein, que escreveu para o site falando sobre a Labrador, de Curitiba. Direito do release da banda: "Mais do que qualquer outro cachorro, o Labrador consegue ser ao mesmo tempo doce, barulhento e destruidor. Inspirada pela personalidade do cão homônimo, a Labrador surgiu, em Curitiba, na metade de 2010. Misturando a riqueza melódica do pop inglês com o peso e a energia do rock americano, a banda acaba de lançar seu segundo single, "A noite dos nossos dias". E "Deserto", a música de estreia, foi eleita uma das cinco [...]

Svenska Sambassadeur, som senast var aktuella 2010 med skivan Migration, spelar in nytt material, berättar deras skivbolag Labrador Records på sin Facebook-sida . En singel ska dessutom dyka upp redan innan sommaren.

Formed in 2008, Pallers are a blissed-out electronica duo who make "Dance music for the lazy, the blazers and for the slightly depressed". At the helm of this musical ship, long-time friends Johan Angergård ( Club 8 , Acid House Kings , The Legends) and Henrik Mårtensson build an ever shimmering mosaic of sounds in which every element is integrated with such ease it almost seems effortless. Pallers - Humdrum The duo's monumental debut album The Sea of Memories was produced and recorded during three years' time [...]

Johan at Labrador had the following to say about a new release out of Gothenburg Sweden from the Ekström brothers (both from The Mary Onettes), officially being released on November 9th: "Philip called me up a day in September 2010. He was working on songs for the third The Mary Onettes album as far as I knew, so I was surprised to hear he had written two songs in Swedish that he wanted me to hear. He sent "Kristallen" and "Juni berättar" over … and I was instantly blown away of their verve and beauty! I immediately pleaded [...]

Acid House Kings - Heaven Knows I Miss Him Now ft. Dan Treacy Om ungefär två veckor släpps Acid House Kings nya singel Heaven Knows I Miss Him Now. Det spännande med denna är att det är en nyinspelning och alltså inte samma som från skivan Music Sounds Better With You . Med på denna nyinspelning finner vi Dan Treacy, från Television Personalities, på sång som får låten att bli som ny. Texas Bob är även med och spelar gitarr. - Television Personalities fortsätter att vara ett av mina absoluta favoritband JUST NU [...]

Pallers är Labrador-mannen Johan Angergård och Henrik Mårtensson. Tillsammans skapar de smygande snygg elektronisk popmusik om än i det anonymaste laget. Det låter som om en ledsen Johan Duncanson svalt en liter lönnsirap och stundom översköljs av toner signerade ett snällare, mer lågmält The Knife. Vilket naturligtvis inte är helt fel, men likt lanseringstexten som förkunnar att skivan spelats in i Kapstaden, Miami och Spanien, så känns det en aning krystat. Ett modest groove går genom hela fullängdsdebuten The Sea of Memories, en långsamt eskalerande skapelse som tog tre år att färdigställa. Det är drömskt och fint enligt [...]

I våras släppte Labrador första singeln med deras nya artist Amanda Mair. Nu är det dags för singel nummer två - Doubt . Lyssna ovan och ladda snart hem. Den "släpps" 31 oktober men kommer garanterat att ges ut tidigare än så.

- 2005 var vi det första indiebandet någonsin att göra en karaoke-dvd. Att vi nu följer upp det med att vara det första med ett album som en iPad-app är något jag är riktigt glad över, säger Johan Angergård i ett pressmeddelande. Appen som givetvis innehåller bandet senaste skiva Music Sounds Better With You , bjuder så klart på en hel del annat i och med det nya formatet. För att följa upp karaoke-dvd:n; en karaoke-sektion och annat innehåll är foton, videor och biografier av bandmedlemmarna. Appen (albumappen?), går att köpa på iTunes . [...]
Labrador Records will release the new Amanda Mair single "Doubt" on October 19.
The Sound of Arrows are a duo consisting of Stefan Storm and Oskar Gullstrand, two twenty-somethings from Stockholm, or as some may put it, the mecca of pop music. Their story began as most others do. They came from the same town, met through mutual friends, had similar interests and musical taste, dabbled with electro-pop... But it was after trying to make a Christmas song by sampling a Children's choir from Youtube their musical project really started to evolve. This was back in 2006. The Sound of Arrows - M.A.G.I.C [...]

Allt er vænt sem vel er sænskt, segir máltækið. Svíar eru algerir snillingar í að gera grípandi popptónlist, og fátt virðist klikka sem þeir taka sér fyrir hendur á listasviðinu yfirleitt. Labrador Records er lítið fyrirtæki sem sérhæfir sig í að gefa út grípandi sænska popptónlist, ekki síst tónlist eftir sjálfan stofnanda fyrirtækisins, Johan Angergård , en hann er forsprakki hljómsveitanna The Legends, Club 8 , Acid House Kings og Pallers. Þess utan gefur Labrador út eðal poppsveitir eins og The Radio Dept. , Sambassadeur , The Mary Onettes [...]

"Stockholm Belongs To Us - A Labrador Records compilation picks up where the 4CD anniversary release "Labrador 100 - A History of Popular Music" left off. On "Labrador 1003 it was exactly one song from each release - this time we've allowed ourselves to deviate a bit from the concept. 22 tracks from almost as many releases from the year 2008 to 20113. A free 22 track insight into the wonderful world of Labrador, all yours for the time it takes to magically download. Up there with the best, Sweden is still pushing forward expansive indie styles and [...]
The wife's out, the kids are watching TV, I'm having a beer and enjoying that for once the computer is mine…aaaaall mine! Really tired tonight, but having a few things I'd like to post and share, so sleep is put on hold! Boxstr.net still isn't working. Will be quite interesting if they have the nerve to keep charging their monthly fee, but "at least" their support hasn't replied to any of my emails. Great, great service (can you spell sarcasm...s-a-r-c-a-s-m)...Fuc kers! On a far more positive note. Earlier today [...]
The folks at Swedish label Labrador Records aren't particularly modest* when it comes to naming their compilations. Back in 2007, they released a comprehensive compilation of their finest material in a four-CD set called Labrador 100: History of Popular Music . And this morning, Labrador has followed up that release with the 22-track Stockholm Belongs to Us that features highlights from the label's past four years. Unlike its predecessor, this compilation can be yours for the price of...your bandwidth. It features tracks from the likes of the Radio Dept., Acid House Kings, [...]

Swedish indie pop band Acid House Kings was formed in 1991 in Stockholm by siblings Niklas Angergård and Johan Angergård and their friend Joakim Ödlund. With immaculate taste in music stemming from a childhood of Elvis Presley, an almost complete set of Sarah singles and a 100% complete set of The Smiths singles, the band set out to define Scandinavian pop music. When the band released their first studio album, Pop, Look & Listen! , back in 1992, they allegedly decided on a 10-year plan to release an album every five years in order to [...]
Sorry for the lack of posts this week. I have a serious eye condition. Typing is a pain in ass because I can't see the screen clearly. I'm in the care of a doctor and a specialist, so I have faith that I'll recover eventually. My previous post mentioned Pictureplane. Today the mighty RCRD LBL offers the track for download! A perfect Summertime song by Acid House Kings now has a video (digital single came out 28, June). I meant to post this last week, but I felt I was listening to [...]

In the days leading up to the festival on July 15th, you can stop by ENS and see a P4K centric preview for the bands.

Pallers - Come Rain, Come Sunshine Första gången vi fick bekanta oss med Labradors Pallers var 2008 med EP:n Humdrum och sen så kom singeln The Kiss förra året (samt den där julsingeln ). Nu är det dags att bekanta oss lite mer: i höst kommer en hel skiva från Pallers, som består av han den där Johan Angergård som sysslar med hur mycket som helst och Henrik Mårtensson, och här är första singeln Come Rain, Come Sunshine. Var någonstans den ska placeras intill deras andra material är inte [...]
