The individual Babies are no strangers to melodic transcendance, as their work in such groups as psych-pop wonderkinds Woods and chainsaw sirens Vivian Girls will attest to. Anybody with an ear for indie pop mayhem had best put their spending shoes on pronto, as these Babies are star children of an entirely different breed! Their songs are rollicking pop gems, pungent with sweet harmonies, raucous beats, tambourines, skyscraping guitars, the works. Summer dreams, psychic revelry, concrete heat, Babies are born!

KING KONG KOBRA (Sweden, Amsterdam)
Fuelled by häxblandning these four pretty boys will bring you rock, rock and roll Sweden is so famous for (The Hives, The Hellacopters, Rölling Stönes, but not The Kinks). You might even be able to pick up a copy of their debut LP, it’s a true gem!

You can order it in our webstore, or listen to a track right here.

Optic Nest is the mental brain child of Daniel ‘Fagge’ Fagerström – the man behind the amazing Swedish underground label Moptaco Dics and part of the great Skull Defekts, The Je Ne Sais Quoi and Chronic Heist. Already having released a hand full of tapes and vinyl on obscure labels such as Kassettbolaget Svart Pyramid and Hästen & Korset and the aforementioned Moptaco Dics, during the late summer of twentyten a mp3 stream crossed a number of European borders which Knife Slits Water released as the ‘Korriderna’ cassette.

Although visually dedicated to that magical zone called Swedish Summer, mentally the man is looking down to the lower regions of his counterpart, while the third corner of the triangle that is Korriderna is sequenced sound. The six songs on this cassette are humming, vintage synthesizer loops backed up with tucked away, droning, industrial drum rhythm. These layers are topped by panting, hissing and whispering vocals, old television samples and flanging, swirling melody. The analogue squeaks are as repetitive as those insane number stations from the cold war, and just as haunting – “Korriderna is everywhere and beyond”.
