West Coast

This is the first full-length album by Studio, finally given a full-fledged release after a limited release disappeared from the racks last year. This is a schizophrenic musical project by Dan Lissvik and Rasmus Hägg, based in Gothenburg, Sweden. West Coast will appeal to fans of the new slo-mo Italo disco and is the missing link between The Cure and Lindstrøm touching on Can, Neu, Happy Mondays and The Smiths in their creation of an Afrobeat-dub-disco-indie-pop adventure. With nods to Balearic and Madchester, this collection of strung-out, dreamy electronic pop music already sounds like a modern-day classic.
