Tune Of The Week!
Ok So If You Look On The Right We Added A New Feature On The Blog Which Is Tune Of The Week, Every Week We Will Post An Mp3 By An Artist Who's So Underrated & Deserve Some Attention!
Electro-Infused-Pop !
So this week we start with "Kompis" formed by longtime Swedish friends Carl-Henrik Hallén and Daniel Nordh. This swedish electronica duo have all it takes to become a mainstream electronic charter but the lack of promotion killed all the chances. After releasing a random & rare demo-single "Clouds Instead Of Heads" they at last released a selftitled mini-album in 2005 containing 7 fine-electro-infused-pop songs, the first official single is "Go Down" a melancholic chilled out electro-pop track followed by the second and last single "In Somebody's Spot" a dark dancey tune with micro traces of R&B, if you're lucky enough to get your hands on the selftitled mini-album "Kompis" you will immediately connect their style to ppl like Royksopp, Mint Royale & Planet Funk. Angelic voices on the album are supplied not only by Kompis themsleves, but by guest vocalists Markus Hasselblom ''Go Down'', ''We Move'' and Hanna Gِransson ''Filthy Bills'', ''In Somebody's Spot'', who add some real class to proceedings. It's really hard ot decide which song is better than the other since the styles vary form a track to the next, Soo in "MP3 of The Week" i included the single along with another track from the album for your hearing pleasure. Throw your critic in the comments after u hear them, I wanna know what's in your head.
Tracklist:
1. Go Down
2. The Rider
3. We Move
4. Filthy Bills
5. Wigman
6. In Somebody's Spot
7. Compute This
Just a short notice concerning the name of the band:
*"Kompis" is a Swedish synonym for "Vنn" (=Friend). A good translation would be "Chum", "Buddy" or "Companions" (not romantically linked) etc.
