A little while ago the synth pop band Storbritannien released the EP Taiga, three songs where I’ve written before about the excellent starting track Domino. They were kind enough to give me an alternative version of the second song on the EP, “Min sista syn” (“My last vision”, a version that I like more than the one that ended up on the EP. Listen for yourself and compare here below, where you’ll find the original version as a video.
Furthermore, a couple of weeks ago they released a new song, “Vi” (“We), as a music video, somewhat different in the mood of what we’ve heard before from the band.

I wrote about the electro pop band Storbritannien and their EP “Krita” in the beginning of this year. After some delays with the follow-up to their EP “Krita”, they are now back again with the new single Domino. They are releasing it today and gave me the opportunity to publish it here on Meadowmusic.

This will probably be the last post in 2011, so I would like to wish all the artists and all you listeners that come here a happy new year! I’ll see you next year, and judging from the incoming stream of music, we have a lot to look forward to in 2012.

Here’s “Domino” with Storbritannien:

The sound from the early eighties’ electronica and new wave echoes very clearly from the trio Storbritannien’s debut EP “Krita”. In spite of the old references it feels quite fresh and in a way authentic, like if they were some kind of darker predecessor to Lustans Lakejer.

The EP cointains four good songs all with a little different character, in Swedish, but if we’re talking about hit potential they have created a great hook in the chorus of “Säg det högt”.

Apparently new songs are coming up, as they have recently finished the recording of a new EP. If you’d like to keep track of this and listen to all the songs on “Krita”, you can find Storbritannien on Myspace.
