David Gray and Coldplay are just two examples of the "invasion" (as MTV is calling it) of folky/rock UK bands/singer-songwriters with meaningful lyrics... I like Coldplay's album as well and it's hard to believe they've only been together 2 years... cool stuff. jess www.jessicaweiser.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2000 13:18:51 -0500 From: "Alvin @ Home" Subject: RE: boxing day and CDs >re: what is boxing day...it's canada's busiest shopping day. the day after >christmas, when everyone shops 'til they drop. or if you're in retail, >works 'til they drop.

Imagine a trip-hop version of Swedish medieval songs about evil spells, deceit and violence, sung by lead singer Emma Hardelin. Behind her mesmerizing, haunting vocals lies a lush tapestry of modern sounds, featuring keyboards, guitar and electronic textures, that create a complex musical bed for the singer." --- CMJ New Music Report "the band have excavated the dark side of the Swedish tradition to bring forth haunting melodies and lyrics filled with blood, guts, and doomed maidens." -- ?? "In the Swedish lyrics, a fleeing pregnant woman is slashed to death by a werewolf, and a handsome young man barely escapes the clutches of a horny mountain troll. Just in case these stories are too nice for you, caterpillars devastate a river valley, a girl's lover is pulled from her arms and hacked to death by her seven brothers, and a tax collector is beheaded and sent to Hell." -- ?? "Named for the dogs that guard the gates of hell in Swedish mythology, Garmarna sings ancient folktales about misery and death and regret and monsters and everything else that would toment you while sitting in an igloo with a howling storm outside and the nearest Prozac a hundred miles away by dogsled." ---Dirty Linen "Playing a unique blend of Scandinavian folk music mixed with heavy guitar and electronic weirdness, they groove and drone, and trance out, taking the listener about eight levels deeper into the subconscious than any other band Ive heard in years." -- Playboy "Once youve lifted your jaw off the floor at the way ancient and modern fit seamlessly together, youll find yourself completely hypnotized." -- Wired Yahoo!
