If any of you are (Swedish) record collectors than you might like to know that James Ausfahrt’s new vinyl-only release could well be your holy grail. I’ve written about his stuff here and here. The new one, Party For The Arty People, has just been released in Sweden and is only available from a small number of select local retailers.
What characterizes these songs as something different are the irreverent lyrics and the odd mixture of casio beats and guitar strumming. For instance “Lucy Ferocious” starts with a blast of electronic feedback and then quickly morphs into lofi bedroom pop a la Jonathan Richman meets Jens Lekman. Buy it here at Open Field.
P.S. I’ll be away for a week on Thanksgiving break. So you may not hear from me again until next Monday.
