Ballistic, Ebbot and Mollgan together with the singer Cecilia Dumbuya form the hip hop group Middlesex. This summer they released the singel “Integritet” (“Integrity”) where they present a soulful hip hop and where Cecilia’s soft voice sits nice in the hooky choruses. There’s a good variation from the straight beats in “Integritet” to the backbeat in “Mistah Mistah” to “Det är vackrast när det skymmer”, which kan described as a beautiful hip hop ballad.
The song “Integritet” is a comment from Middlesex on the debate around personal integrity which started last year in Sweden with the FRA law. Mistah Mistah is also critical about society but the band states that they have no direct ambition to be political, but that they have strong opinions and that they can just as well write about love, if that comes to mind.
Here below is the video to “Integritet”, and “Mistah Mistah” to listen to and download. As a bonus they also give us the track “Fotografier” where they are joined by Peter and Annelie.
I think that we’ll be hearing about Peter Dahlin a lot more in the future. He presents a pleasant indie pop with strong melodies and on top of this his bright, sensitive voice. When I listen to his earlier EP “Out In the Snow” (Peter Dahlin and Sleeping Beauty, 2005), it reminds me a lot of the light and happy feeling from the music of Belle & Sebastian.
Underway is a split EP together with Thor Rutgersson, to be released in the first half of 2009. Another interesting project that Peter is involved in, is the live club MaydaySticky. He runs this together with Mattias Dristig since 2004, and it all takes place in Sticky Fingers in Göteborg. Once a month four independent artists performs, and the selection of artists is based on different themes for each club night.
