Björn from electro band Slagsmålsklubben and Tjompa from indie rock band The High Fives have a child together which is called City. And last month the duo City released their EP “Ex-Files”, six tracks with retro dance-pop with messy, unpolished vocals, which is of course the way to do it if one would produce dance pop. It’s summer vibes and party time.

Things have been happening fast for The High Fives. They started out 2006 in Katrineholm, Sweden, in 2007 they toured all over Sweden and played at Hultsfredsfestivalen, they drank black absinth and turned a hostel upside down, and now in November 2008 they release their debut album “Work of Art” (Show Me the Money/Wonderland Records).
And their music runs pretty fast too. It’s indie pop/rock with a lot of energy with nice melodic hooks, and the latest addition to the band with two brass players emphasizes this even more. (extra pluses for saxophone solos). A party atmosphere I would say, positive and happy, and with this as a starting point I’m sure they will continue to get a lot of attention on their concerts and gather faithful crowds.
The third of November the album “Work of Art” is released, but you can get a taste of it here by listening to two great tracks from the record:
