Blue Foundation released a new single, the first one in over 2 years: Enemy. Sounds different… The full song is available on the band’s myspace page, with another track (Watch You Sleeping) from their new album, Life Of A ghost, set to be released on September 24.
Blue Foundation will be on the road across Scandinavia this fall. More info on their website.

OK, this is kind of a shameless plug… Angryape offers a free download from Prince Valium’s latest album Andlaus: Crying Hearts. My better half wrote the lyrics and sings.

Ungdomshuset, in Copenhagen, was an artists and activists squat since the 80s. In March of this year, the municipality decided to give it an end, evicted the occupants and destroyed the building.
Users and supporters have since protested, sometimes violently. At some point a support concert was organized, Blue Foundation participated, playing an unreleased song that I can’t get out of my head: Voices. The video is neat, too.
Update: This song is part of a mini-album called Dead People’s Choice.

We don’t have much about Faroese and that’s a shame, because they have such a high cool people ratio over their population. So there…
Teitur is one of them. He has already released two albums, won a few music awards, opened for folk stars, enough to give this 30 year old’s name all its meaning (teitur means happy in Old Norse).
Teitur decided, for his third album, to drop big major (Universal), big recording studios, … and to sing in his native language. The interesting result is Káta hornið, released in Scandinavia only by the local label Tutl.
