OMFS! – “Skaka”
April 12, 2011 By: Pär Berglund Category: Indie, Rock
“Loud, quiet, rough, emotional.” it says in the description to OMFS!’ album “Skaka” on their Bandcamp page. And to describe the difference between this new album and the last one “Hemma”, then under the name One Man Freac Show, I’d like to use some of these words: louder, rougher, more emotional.
It feels like the band has left the club scene and is up on the big arena scene, and instead of focusing on catchy tunes they go for the big emotions and gestures. At least on this album. They have already released a single, “Fara”, from an upcoming album and is hinting that they are getting out of the arena.
As usual it’s very interesting to explore some of Fredric Johansson’s and his bandmates’ great creativity and if you’d like to listen to this album and earlier works you can do this on their Bandcamp page and on Spotify. OMFS! also has a site and a Facebook page.
