It’s been a while since I heard from Gocart System, ever since they released their first EP here on Meadowmusic. Thankfully they are back with a new one, called “Across the Nation”.
And yes, it’s the same crazy playfulness, jump between genres and with contagious songs. Here’s one that could be a modern lo-fi version of early Velvet Underground, another a disco flirt, and, well, you tell me. I recognize the music, but at the same time I don’t.
On Spotify you can listen to both EP:s as one release, or you can head over to Myspace and listen there. Here’s “Heavy Rotation”, and also the video to “Always Been the Same” from the first EP:
In November I presentedGocart System here on Meadowmusic. You could then get a taste of their upcoming EP. Now they have finished their debut EP “Always Been the Same”, and I’m happy to tell you that they wanted to release the EP here on Meadowmusic!
Below you can download and listen to the entire EP “Always Been the Same” full with their imaginative, playful pop music. If you liked the songs before, I’m certain that you won’t be disappointed now.
Sometimes I’m asked if we’re not soon going to run out of intesting new Swedish music to write about. We do have the ambition to a new artist every day (even if we also present new albums with the artists.) I think I have a pretty good overview and I normally answer that there are tens of thousand great artists in Sweden that deserve more attention. There is a lot of listening to artists and sometimes I get extra happy from a new discovery.
Like when I found Gocart System. Their apparently straight pop songs didn’t fool me. This is really joyful. Retro flirting songs run away and become something completely different. Like in for example “Always Been the Same” where they start with a “No One Lives Forever”-intro and then runs off to all kinds of directions.
This is imaginative pop that’s inspired by many sources, so at the moment I’ll stick with the label “Gocart System”.
This autumn they will release their debut EP on their own label Lashiec Records. Listen to two tracks here:
