Club 8
»The People's Record«
CD-LAB130

Club 8 has travelled to Brazil for inspiration, bought records made in the 70’s in Western Africa, used a percussion player from Cuba and hooked up with producer Jari Haapalainen (The Concretes, Camera Obscura, Ed Harcourt). The result is unique mix of Swedish pop melodies and African rhythms - undoubtedly one of the most unique, captivating and catchiest pop records of the year!

CD: €15 - VINYL: €17

The Radio Dept.
»Clinging To A Scheme«
CD-LAB105

The long wait is finally over! The Radio Department’s ”Clining to a scheme” is without doubt this year’s most eagerly anticipated Swedish indie pop album. It’s been four long years, but a simple press on Play and you’ll know it’s been worth every second. “Clinging to a scheme” combines the best components from their previous albums “Lesser matters” and “Pet grief” with soul guitars, P-funk, cut/paste-beats and 70’s futuristic orchestra sounds. Breathtaking!

€15

The Radio Dept.
»Heaven's on fire«
CD/Single-LAB129

A sample from Thurston Moore and The Radio Dept. is back with cracked beats, funky English soul guitars and hazy synthesizer hooks.

"Best pop song of the year so far? Quite possibly. It's a free song from the endlessly ace Radio Dept. GET GET GET" NME Radio!

€5


Sambassadeur
»European«
CD-LAB126

The single ”Days” set the direction for the new Sambassadeur album ”European”. It’s irresistibly catchy, folky and yet exquisitely luxurious in its appeal - you’d picture the band performing the song barefoot under crystal chandeliers. Exquisite!

CD-LAB120

“Into the Clouds” is effortlessly magical, locating the heart and soul in the pristine beats and loops to create a song that is at once both timeless and futuristic. The perfect starting point for the rest of the world to fall in love with The Sound of Arrows.

€6

The Mary Onettes
»Islands«
CD-LAB125

The Mary Onettes’ critically acclaimed debut was described as the perfect mix between A-ha and The Jesus and Mary Chain. Now they are back with a grandiose new album. Imagine a Swedish equivalent of The National on a diet of speed, Planet Earth DVDs, and 80’s guitar pop singles and you’ll have a vague idea of how amazing this is.

€15

»Tomhet, idel tomhet«
CD-LAB123

"This is Swedish pop at its absolute best; lush, gorgeous and impassioned." IT'S A TRAP. Labrador’s only band singing in Swedish return with a brilliant ten track pop album produced by Jari Haapalainen (Camera Obscura, Ed Harcourt, The Concretes).

€15

Little Big Adventure
»The Hateful Eye EP«
CD/EP-LAB122

He studies on technical college, he named his band after a PC game from 1994 and he writes eccentric pop songs about hate. So yes, we love him! We're very happy to announce the debut release of Labrador's latest signing Little Big Adventure's.

€6

The Legends
»Over and over«
CD-LAB118

The single "Seconds away" was described as 'The noisiest pop single to ever come out of Sweden' when it was released this winter and created a huge buzz worldwide - staying at no.1 at Elbo.ws for nearly three weeks! "Over and over" is a brilliantly modern mix of white noise, 60’s girls pop, indie, ambient and krautrock. Hypnotic washes of distorted synthesizers and sweet bouncy melodies echoes under walls of feedback and crushingly loud shimmering guitars. The album includes contribution from Club 8's Karolina Komstedt, The Mary Onettes' Philip Ekström, Tralala's Liane Moccia and more.

€15

The Mary Onettes
»Dare«
CD/EP-LAB121

Grandiose new single by The Mary Onettes. Written in isolation and partly recorded in a church "Dare" still ends up their most uplifting song to date - imagine a Swedish equivalent of The National on a diet of speed, Planet Earth DVDs and Go-Betweens singles and you’ll have a vague idea of how wonderful this is!

€6

Suburban Kids With Biblical Names
»#4«
CD/EP-LAB107

Suburban Kids with Biblical Names in 2009 produce their music with chaotic playfulness. Each song usually goes through a large number of completely different versions and re-makes, perhaps ranging from slow country to uptempo afro pop, before the band is pleased and the song is finished. It’s definitely not a time efficient way of working. But, it does seem to make wonders for the final result.

€6

The Sound of Arrows
»M.A.G.I.C!«
CD/EP-LAB119

The Sound of Arrows has gathered a young chanting school class, a girl singer from Tokyo and a handful of well hidden un-cleared samples which they’ve mixed with bouncy analogue synthesizers, soulful guitars and orchestral instruments over a hundred recording channels. The result is a marvellous mix of old TV shows for children, old school hip-hop, new disco and timeless pop hits!

€6

Pallers
»Humdrum«
EP 12"-LAB117

“Humdrum" was produced in Spain with a view over the Mediterranean. During one week of constant sunshine they created the darkest and finest electronic music we’ve heard in a long time. This is dance music for the lazy, the blazers and for the slightly depressed.

€9

The Legends
»Seconds Away«
CD/Single-LAB116

After two years of absence The Legends return with the noisiest pop single to ever come out of Sweden.
”Seconds away” balances perfectly between the unbearable and pure loveliness.

Pelle Carlberg
»The Lilac Time«
CD-LAB115

We're very happy to announce the arrival of Pelle Carlberg's 3rd and undoubtably best album to date - "The Lilac Time". Pre-order this gem of a record now and we'll make sure you'll have it in good time for the release date (August 27).

The first single "1983 (Pelle & Sebastian)" was a seductive breeze of a melancholic Swedish summer, borrowed percussion from Rio de Janerio and late nights with Love's "Forever changes" in the headphones, and the rest of the album follows the same lovely path. Pelle has managed to write his finest melodies to this date and his lyrics are so full of exact everyday observations and wry humor it’s close to deadpan.

€15

The Sound of Arrows
»Danger!«
CD/EP-LAB114

The Sound of Arrows treat their own songs like remixes and will present their releases almost like mixtapes. Their approach to music bare some similarity to Saint Etienne around “Foxbase Alpha” or The Avalanches, but they never end up sounding like either. The future of music can not be compared to anything - this is The Sound of Arrows!

€6

Club 8
»Strangely Beautiful + 5 bonus tracks«
CD-LAB037R

The last of three albums in Club 8’s productive peak between 2001 and 2003 is by many considered their best album to that date. Includes the noisy and Northern Soul-inspired single “Saturday night engine” which was a clear forerunner to The Legends ”Up against the Legends”.

€15

Club 8
»Spring Came, Rain Fell + 5 bonus tracks«
CD-LAB022R

A start of a new era for Club 8. ”Spring came, rain fell” was the first album they recorded on their own in the now famous Summersound Studios which they share with fellow band Acid House Kings. The album sparkles of experimental lust with songs & sounds ranging from dub and electronica to smokey trip hop and folky- and acoustic pop.

€15

Club 8
»S/T + 2 bonus tracks«
CD-LAB018R

You could tell directly from the opening track that this was another move in a new direction for Club 8. “Love in december” is breathtaking, soulful pop imbued by dark Scandinavian winter atmosphere and bittersweet melancholy.

€15

Club 8
»The Friend I Once Had + 6 bonustracks«
CD-LAB004R

With a glittery mix of jangly guitars, bossa nova and sophisticated, melancholic pop melodies, ”The Friend I Once Had” was a big step forwards for Club 8. Their debut album ”Nouvelle” may be regarded as a twee pop classic by some, but the band would happily bury most those songs under a rock. This is the album they wish was their debut.

€15

Sambassadeur
»Final Say«
CD Single-LAB112

Glamour, french sixties, dance-pop, Miami Vice-percussion... Sambassadeur's upcoming single »Final say" is an eclectic mix of influences from the past and snapshots from the future. "Something's lost and nothing's gained, this is my final say" states Anna with a voice that would make Francoise Hardy envious.

»Final say« is backed by the brand new track »Crooked spine«. It's one of very few songs guitarist/songwriter Daniel have sung since their debut album, and possibly the best he’s put his vocals on to date. Imagine a collaboration between early Jesus and Mary Chain, Abba and Carol King produced by Phil Spector and you’ll have a slight idea of what this little gem is all about. Exclusive for this single!

€5

Johan Hedberg
»5-spårs EP«
VINYL 10"-LAB110

Labrador proudly presents the solo debut from Johan Hedberg of Suburban Kids with Biblical Names. »5-spårs EP« (mean »Five track EP« in Swedish) is nothing less than brilliant - a splendid mix of electronica, world music and pop. Welcome to the sound of a true pop genius.

In the summer of 2007 Johan Hedberg bought a computer with an installment plan. This new gear gave him inspiration to do some productions on his own with the motto "fast production and no turning back"

»5-spårs EP« will be released in a limited edition of 500 copies on 10” vinyl. »Var Dig Själv", the second track from the five-song EP, manages -- like Dungen, Vapnet, or Hello Saferide side project Säkert! -- to transcend the unfamiliar sibilances and Germanic consonants, in this case through bright melodies and lo-fi electronics" PITCHFORK MEDIA

Sambassadeur
»migration«
CD-LAB0106

In 2003 and 2004 Sambassadeur lead an explosive Swedish pop movement of home recording artists who surprised our country by not only achieving overnight indie fame, thanks to the MP3 spreading kids, they eventually actually reached the sales charts. With »Migration« they enter a new epoch.

This time Sambassadeur chose to record in benifit of a proper studio together with producer Mattias Glavå (Dungen, Broder Daniel, Håkan Hellström). The first single »Subtle Changes« showed a new, more luxurious direction. It was an immediate success. With it’s disco hi-hats, swooping strings and orchestra drums that enhance their deceptive melodies, it was only a matter of days before the single was playlisted on national radio in Sweden and reached #9 on the Elbo.ws blog-chart.

»Migration« is a sparkling pop album, where breezy vocals meets deceptively sunny arrangements that perfectly wraps up the some of this years most heartfelt melodies.

€15

Club 8
»the boy who couldn't stop dreaming«
CD-LAB0108

Club 8 returns in the grandest of ways with their sophomore sixth album. "The boy who couldn't stop dreaming" is pop music at its most profound, balancing perfectly between sunshine and melancholia. Twelve songs that’ll make you sing along about death while dreaming of summer days. A glorious return to say the least!

Extra track and a tacky badge ...
Everyone who pre-orders »The boy who couldn't stop dreaming« from the Labrador shop will receive a free badge and an exclusive, previously unreleased bonus track. The bonus track will come in MP3 format on the release day.

CD: €15 - VINYL: €17

Irene
»long gone since last summer«
CD-LAB0104

Most of us would have guessed it'd be impossible to top the sing along-qualities of »Apple bay«. Well, guess again. Irene is back with a new album exactly one year after the debut and they've surpassed themselves in every possible way.

»Long gone since last summer« is a timeless collection of evergreens in elegant arrangements and crystal clear production.

€15

The Mary Onettes
»s/t«
CD-LAB0103

Long awaited debut album from Sweden’s best new band. It took them two years and three labels to get here, but if that’s what they needed in order to produce what must be one of the finest Swedish debut album ever, it was worth all the wait.

These ten songs sound somewhat like a modern version of A-ha dressed in black mixed with early The Jesus and Mary Chain on an arena. You'll love every little second of it.

€15

Pelle Carlberg
»in a nutshell«
CD-LAB0101

Pelle Carlberg, former lead singer of Edson, is back with a brilliant new album. In a nutshell is full of his characteristic sharp, wry humor and heartfelt folk-pop. Carlberg writes equally catchy and intimate pop songs with an ease rarely seen since Belle & Sebastians early years.

€15

The Mary Onettes
»void«
CD/EP-LAB0102

Sweden's finest is back with three amazing new songs that make us remember the days of The Smiths - when every song on every single was equally important. »Void« sounds somewhat like a modern version of A-ha dressed in black mixed with early The Jesus and Mary Chain on an arena.

The EP contains two brilliant exclusive tracks that will not appear on the album.

€6

€22

Loveninjas
»the secret of the loveninjas«
CD-LAB099

»The secret of the Loveninjas« is the finest dancey pop you’ll hear
this year. It’s Shop Assistants, Pulp and Chris Montez’s A&M years
through a soft disco filter. Oh, how much you will love this album.

€15

Loveninjas
»I wanna be like johnny c«
CD/EP-LAB098

Loveninjas started with a strict concept playing in ninja-masks, a
giant heart costume and writing lyrics about sex, japanese girls and ninjas (mostly all at once). The whole thing ended abruptly when they forgot their heart costume in Stuttgart after a gig this spring. After that they put their masks aside and wrote their best songs ever.

€6

[ingenting]
»mycket väsen för ingenting«
CD-LAB097

Labrador Records’ only band singing in their native language return with an album packed with a glorious mix of psychedelic folk, sunny 70's pop and sinister proggy overtones. A slightly schizophrenic and highly wonderful collection of songs that tastes of the Swedish country side as well as decadent urban night life and crushed dreams.

€15

Irene
»apple bay«
CD-LAB096

“I love you. I love you. I love you.” It’s almost impossible to talk about Irene’s debut without using ecstatic clichés. ”Apple bay” is an album without a single weak moment. This is twelve timeless pop songs, each one good enough to be a single anytime, any year. It’s an album that would have sounded just as good in 1962 as it will do in 2012. You'll love it!

€15
The Legends
»facts and figures«
CD-LAB093

Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for... The Legends »Facts and figures« is out today!

»Facts and figures« is the sound of complete opposites coming together perfectly. The Legends combine their love for heartfelt indie pop and soft 60's style melodies with the German precision of
Kraftwerk and DAF. Perfectionism is mixed with the naive curiosity and experimental lust of a beginner. A hate of dance floors combined with dance music...

CD: €15 - VINYL: €17
Irene
»little things (that tear us apart)«
CD/EP-LAB094

"Don’t you know, that it’s the crazy little things that always tear us apart? Du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du”. Like Bob Dylan on a Surpremes diet Irene’s very own Bobby stumbles ecstaticly over the words with an euphoria that makes you wonder if the man is overwhelmingly happy or totally miserable. 1:55 minutes of musical history.

€6
The Legends
»lucky star«
CD/EP-LAB092

The most eclectic single from The Legends so far. In »Lucky star« they borrow bits from every corner of the musical history and turns it into a 2 minute pop smash. Contains two non album tracks; a splendid remix by Jimahl and the almost Sarah nostalgic, jangly pop gem »This heart's not made of stone«.

€6

The Radio Dept.
»pet grief«
CD-LAB095

Ladies and gentlemen, what you´ve all been waiting for...

The Radio Depts first album, »Lesser matters« was called "a minor classic" by NME and voted one of the 10 best albums of the year in the same magazine. Now the very much anticipated follow up »Pet grief« is finally here. You'll hear from the very first chord that you're listening to The Radio Dept. Still, something has definitely changed. The mood is darker, more epic, grander and even more beautiful than ever. A major classic!

€15

The Legends
»play it for today«
CD/Single-LAB091

The Legends revolt against themselves, again. The new single mix 90’s techopop, dark DAF bass-lines and bouncy electro with The Legends’ unmistakable feel for brilliant pop melodies. »Play it for today/Blue lights« is a double A-side of the classic kind; two smash hits for the gay dance floor!

€5

Irene
»baby i love your way / to be with you«
CD/single-LAB090

”Baby I love you. Baby I love your way. Du-du-du-du-du-du-du. Baby I want you. Baby I want you to stay. A-ha…”

Irene write songs that sounds almost like clichés of pop songs. Songs about love and heartache, girl group-style rythm section, handclap, Beach Boys, soul, brass and songs that are evergreens from day one. The best new band of 2006 is already here!

€5

The Legends
»hide away«
CD/EP-LAB086

The second single from the critically acclaimed album »Public Radio« is arena rock transformed to gothic twee. Joy Division in anoraks could have been this brilliant! Besides the title track the EP includes four exclusive non-album tracks. »Catch the ease« and remixes by Les Espions, Project-X and Jimahl.

€7

Loveninjas
»keep your love«
CD/EP-LAB083

Loveninjas’ songs sound like classic schlagers that have been forced through a dirty indie filter and then had its lyrics replaced by pornographic manga. And you should know the live experience is even greater!

€7

Pelle Carlberg
»everything. now!«
CD-LAB085

»Everything. Now!« is an intensely emotional and straight to the heart kind of debut album from the former Edson singer. With his warm, characterstic vocals Pelle Carlberg presents eleven wonderful pop songs with witty, bittersweet lyrics so personal they seem to be taken directly from his diary.

€15

Pelle Carlberg
»riverbank«
CD/EP-LAB084

”They say I need a Hit song” Pelle Carlberg sings on the second track on his new EP »Riverbank«. And he probably won’t get any closer to a ”Hit song” than he is on »Riverbank«. The ”du-du-du” -chorus sticks immediately. But in opposite to most of his pop-friends and enemies around this country he has something to say and he does so with a great deal of emotion put in to it.

€7

Suburban Kids With Biblical Names
»#3«
CD-LAB077

There's not enough superlatives to explain how we feel about #3. Let's just say it's this years most eagerly awaited album for a good reason!

€15

The Legends
»public radio«
CD-LAB082

The Legends return in style! »He knows the sun« might very well be the song of the year. It manages to sound as if it was recorded in the very early 80's and it's highly futuristic at the same time.

CD: €15 - VINYL: €17

Sambassadeur
»sambassadeur«
CD-LAB071

The debut album from Sweden’s brightest shining hope exceeds every
expectation. Pure indie guitar pop, gorgeous lazy melodies wrapped around
fuzzy guitars and far away tambourines.

€15
Wan Light
»carmaline«
CD-LAB073

Songs like »The beehive kid«, »Airborne« and »That grim reality« are some of the best songs ever released on Labrador. The sound is desolate, melancholic and very different from most bands you hear today. This is music for headphones rather than dance floors.

€15
Sambassadeur
»new moon«
CD/EP-LAB070

With inspiration from The Go-Betweens, Velvet Underground, Magnetic Fields, Pavement and France Gall, Sambassadeur has created a sound which is unmistakably Sambassadeur. The music site Lemanchester described it like this: “After just one listen they songs feel like old friends and without any hesitation they take their place in musical history”.

€7
Acid House Kings
»sing along with acid house kings«
CD-LAB075

Showing untrendy will be the new trend for 2005, Acid House Kings return with a classic blend of 60's Motown and Bacharach, 80's The Smiths and timeless pop perfection.

Includes the singles »This heart is a stone«, »Do what you wanna do« and »7 days«

€15
Wan Light
»that grim reality«
CD/EP-LAB072

Five brand new tracks from your new favourite band Wan Light. The title song is definitely one of the best songs ever on Labrador. The EP also contains the killer track "Future world" which sounds like a Swedish version of Galaxie 500 being remixed by Postal Service. You must have this EP.

€7
South Ambulance
»south ambulance«
CD-LAB078

If Television Personalities had been melancholic Swedes who released records on Creation in the early 90's they might have sounded something like South Ambulance. It's energetic, happy-sad and most infectious.

Download "Die 5times times5" and find out for yourself.

Pelle Carlberg
»go to hell, miss rydell«
CD/EP-LAB079

Wonderful debut from former Edson singer Pelle Carlberg. This EP contains five songs based around a nylon string guitar, a couple of strings, diary-like lyrics and some of best songs Pelle has ever written.

€7
Sambassadeur
»between the lines«
CD/EP-LAB069

Good taste in music is spreading! Sambassadeur is another example of a great pop band which has been discovered by the indie pop audience long before they’d released anything. »Between the lines« has been an underground hit for months already.

Now it’s available on CD for the first time along with three other killer tracks.

€7
[ingenting]
»här kommer solen«
CD/single-LAB062

»Här kommer solen« is the poppiest song from [ingenting] so far. 2.20 min full of glittery guitars, tambourines, Beach Boys harmonies, glockenspiel and tambourines.

Includes one track not on the upcoming album.

€6
Labrador Kingsize Vol#2
»various artists«
CD-LAB052

Kingsize Vol# 2 contains the finest moments from the last two years of Labrador releases, so we probably don’t even need to tell you how great this compilation is.

25 songs - 78 minutes of splendid pop.

€15
[ingenting]
»ingenting är lätt«
CD-LAB057

Labrador's first band singing in their native tongue, Swedish. As it's taken us 7 years to find a band singing in Swedish that is good enough to sign, you might understand [ingenting] is a bit special.

€7
Corduroy Utd.
»oh eira«
CD-LAB060

Corduroy Utd. made their debut in 2001 at young age with the EP »Behind my back«. »Oh Eira« contains 11 energetic and infectious pop songs with resemblance to Dexy’s Midnight Runners, The House-martins, and a hint from 60’s garage pop.

€15
Laurel Music
»this night and the next«
CD-LAB041

This night and the next« is the debut album from Gothenburg’s Laurel Music. Their warm, laidback country pop sounds a bit like a more direct Kathryn Williams or Rosie Thomas. It’s a great album, and if you don’t believe us, just go to »Sounds« and find out for yourself!

€15

 Tribeca
»dragon down«
CD-LAB059

»Dragon Down« contains twelve highly addictive pop songs in crystal clear production with analogue synthesisers, groovy old school beats, and singer Lasse Lindh's smooth vocals on top of it.

 A truly wonderful follow up to 2002 years debut album »Kate-97«.

€15
Laurel Music
»dreams and lies«
CD/EP-LAB040

Laurel Music (with Malin from Douglas Heart on vocals) on CD! Three beautiful pop songs with a slight country touch; a bit like Stina Nordenstam or a more direct Kathryn Williams.

 2 songs are exclusive for this EP and will not appear on the forthcoming album »This night and the next« (out March)!

€6
Tribeca
»solitude«
CD/EP-LAB051

Tribeca returns with more hits! This is the opposite of organic sounds; analogue synthezisers, drum machines and guitars so twister they no longer sounds like guitars. And more than ever, highly addictive pop songs!

 2 songs are exclusive for this EP and will not appear on the forthcoming album »Dragon Down« (out April).

€6
The Legends
»up against the legends«
CD-LAB044

Amazing debut album by this hyped Swedish band. Some people say they play garagepop, some call their music Indie-punk-pop-soul.

Most agree it's one of the best things that has happened in Swedish music this year.

€15
Edson
»one last song for you know what«
CD/EP-LAB049

Edson just finished new album. It leans a bit more towards a 70's direction, like early Elton John or Carol King. In any case, it's their finest album to date and shouldn't be missed.

This 4-track EP contains 3 non album tracks.

€6
Wan Light
»let's wake up somewhere else«
CD-LAB056

Wan Light's songs are based on wonderful and catchy singer/songwriter songs, but with an electronic sound. Some say they sound like Mercury Rev, Neil Young, Flaming Lips or even Pet Shop Boys, but they're unique, really, and should be left without comparisons.

€15
Wan Light
»landmarks and houses«
CD/EP-LAB055

The first single »Get is straighter« was released late summer 2003 and gave the band some good attention on Swedish radio. Especially Radio Stockholm (Stockholm's largest channel) loved it and has played it at least two times daily ever since. Next single is »Landmarks and Houses«. For this single Daniel Krigh has made a very suiting and quite arty video which we believe you'll see more of.

This 4-track EP contains 3 non album tracks.

Compiled by Swiss DJ Olivier Rohrbach, the 14 tracks featured on this CD explore the various aspects of Swedish contemporary music in its deepest mix: from Scandi diva Monica Zetterlund to Jay-Jay Johanson or Titiyo along with promising Labrador acts like Club 8 and Mondial.

»From sweden with love« is the fastest way to pay a visit to Sweden, and in some ways like 14 vocal postcards from different points of Swedish sound.

Tribeca
»the sun always shines on tv«
CD/SINGLE-LAB029

This is the first official single release from Lasse Lindh's new band Tribeca. The song »teenage« was used as a radio-only single in Sweden and it did very well indeed.

A smash hit!

Tribeca
»kate -97«
CD-LAB025

Tribeca is the most innovative band in Sweden! An unlike blend of old school electronic instruments, guitars and cutting edge production. All done on their debut album.

This is the second time Lasse Lindh and Claes Björklund team up together. Last time they left the studio with the highly acclaimed Lasse Lindh album »you wake up at sea tac«.

With »kate -97« they push the limits a bit further. Tribeca and »kate -97« is 2002.

Ronderlin
»wave another day goodbye«
CD-LAB023

Ronderlin has produced an album crammed with glittery guitars, heart warming male vocals and tunes that will keep your mind occupied for days.

With a sound somewhere around Lloyd Cole, Nick Drake, The Smiths and Neil Young any fans of classic pop songs will love this album.

Mondial
»always dreaming of something else«
CD-LAB019

"Always dreaming of something else" is following the Swedish tradition of wonderful song writing and catchy refrains. Often with a dance beat, but sometimes with a more gentle, atmospheric sound.

The feeling is always soulful, urban and glittering. For fans of Pet Shop Boys, Saint Etienne and Everthing But The Girl. Or pop fans in general.

Club 8
»s/t«

Lasse Lindh
»you wake up at sea tac«
CD-LAB016

This is Lasse Lindh's first album in english. On his prior album, "bra", he was referred to as the swedish lloyd cole.

Now he's returned with 10 catchy, yet sensitive songs somewhere between Ron Sexsmith and Coldplay.

 €15
Leslies
»dear friend«
CDS-LAB015

This is the first Leslies release since 1997's "Of Today-For Today". Besides the main title you'll find four wonderful popsongs, ranging from casiopop to C-86. and Holland.

This 4-track EP contains 3 exclusive songs.

Lasse Lindh
»bruised«
CDS-LAB014

He used to be signed to EMI, he's played in front of thousands of teenage girls. Still, we love him.

His first album was the semi-acoustic Lloyd Cole-esque album "bra" sung in his native tongue. That was in 1998.

Now he's left EMI and recorded a new album, this time in English, for Labrador. Think Coldplay, Elliot Smith or Ron Sexmith with catchier songs.

 €7
Waltz for Debbie
»once upon a time«
CDS-LAB010

A good clean sweep for club pop glory. This is one heck of a hit single, filled with the stuff that dreams and especially well-made dry martinis are made of. Irresistable.

The only thing missing from this disc is the twelve-minute danceremix.

€6
Waltz for Debbie
»he loves Anna«
CDS-LAB006

Waltz For Debbie was formed in 1996 by Swedish youths Martin Permer and Annica Lundbäck. Since then, the pair have been writing fresh sounding electronic pop music in the vain of Dubstar and Saint Etienne.

True to the tradition of boy + girl bands, Martin is writing most of the songs while Annica is using her mesmerising voice to complete their music. And true to tradition, this is Formula 1 club pop for the dance floors as well as the lounge bars.

Catchiness to die for and beats to rock your boat, wherever you are.

€6
Cinnamon
»against the World«
10"VINYL-LAB005

Surely Cinnamon needs no introduction. This shiny vinyl 10" includes two tracks from their Vertigo album, and three previously unreleased songs.

Produced by the excellent Bertrand Burgalat and Jiri Novak, and with strings and brass arranged by the sensitive Louis Philippe, this record is as precious as they come.

€7
Chasing Dorotea
»s/t«
CD-SUMMER007

While buying magazines in a mall we noticed some truly wonderful music coming from the speakers. Gentle little songs with sensitive whispery vocals. We asked the boy behind the counter what it was. That boy was songwriter Christopher Sander and the wonderful music was by his very own; Chasing Dorotea.

Some people have compared him to Nick Drake, Red House Painters and Belle & Sebastian. And Christopher Sander certainly has the same obvious talent for letting emotions go straight from guitar and vocals to heart of the listener. Expect this songwriter to stick around for a good time.

€15
Aerospace
»the bright idea called soul«
CD-SUMMER006

Aerospace has toured the US and Sweden for almost two years, getting a very good live reputation, before they decided it was time to make an album.

Now their debut album »the bright idea called soul« is finally out, and it's every bit as good as you could ever hope for. It's a packet full of sunshine. Minty fresh. More harmonies, Sea Urchins guitars and fafafas than you can count.

 €15
Happydeadmen
»classics - a decade in pop«
CD-SUMMER001

Compilation with the best, and some rare tracks, by Sweden's very first indiepop band. Think Smiths or Lloyd Cole and you're quite close.
