Annie’s story

Lindefelt — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 12:36:22 +0000

We recently got included in the soundtrack for a series of animated short films. This one is about two incredible Brooklynites – one with terminal cancer – and the downright immaculate snippets of dialogue they build, all 100% documentary. Another one, Q&A, is about a 12 year old kid with asberger syndrome. We are usually suspicious about digital looking animation, but this stuff is incredible.

NPR

Two hungover, fairly close look-alikes performed 3 Fredrik songs on american National Public Radio (NPR) recently. Here’s the stuff.

The gate opens…

F: So, we meet again!
T: Uh… again?
F: I met you before. Only then you were kind of small, and made of a weird plastic that people thought was really neat and scifi in the early 90s.
T: Oh, that was my kid brother ceedee. I am elpee. And there’s actually two of me. For the price of one.
F: Word. And who’s paying?
T: Shut up.
F: Shut what?
T: I said shut up. Do you also ask how much rent they’re paying at the supermarket?! And the colour of your cab driver’s underwear?
F: I don’t really shop at supermarkets.
T: But do you like underwear?!
F: I … guess I do.
T: There you go.
F: …
L: Who made the neat metallic logos?
T: It’s silver silk screening, jerk. Frida and Elin at FEJC made them.
F: I like them.
T: “Like” them?
F: …
T: Do you know how much work went into making them?
F: No.
T: It’s all manual, bigot. Open your mouths. Both of you.
L: What, me too?
T: Keep still. I’m going to separate you from your tounges.
F: But you’re a record.
T: TWO records, hareng’s piss!!!
L: Wait a minute. If you’re that guy’s big brother, why were you born after him? The release is on sunday.
T: I said bigger, not older.
F: You are out of line, even for a record.
T: TWO!
L: But we like you, both of you, attitude and all.
T: Yeah, yeah. Get lost.

Closure/Continuation

Lindefelt — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 20:25:24 +0000

The Trilogi release tour has ended. After 4 weeks of non-stop touring, we’re finally packing up and heading back to our budding, awakening hometown. For closure, we’re giving a final performance on thursday (4/3) at Babel, the old church of Spångatan, Malmö. Our very good friends Skeppet will also be painting the walls with their towering clouds of casual, otherworldly bliss.

By the way, we will be posting tour photos and info about the Trilogi gatefold vinyl shortly.

VISKRA

Lindefelt — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 04:56:00 +0000

This band rarely sleeps. The two of us and the past live constellation (Anja, Fred K, Jerker, Mikael) went up to Sweden’s darkest forest in february last year and recorded a short film with the Dutch new surrealist film maker Iris Piers. Here is a stripped-down version, featuring the album track and a large part of the snow-covered super8 images.

Tour, Stage 2

Lindefelt — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 08:24:11 +0000

Thank you and so long Europe. We’re taking all your fever dreams and head into the biggest snow storm America has seen in 90 years, leaving you with a long quote from Wintersleep’s Paul Murphy’s Postdata solo project:

“Beneath a paranoid cluster of falling stars, in the big black belly of the universe, old rotted out lumber and abandoned cars, bring your friends and family, flashlights, tape recorders. Random stacks of letters, pens, postcards unmarked, cellphones smashed and scattered, plastic body parts, acre upon acre, layer upon layer, photographs of jesus, brando, joan of arc, post it notes and stickers glowing in the dark, abstract grids and patterns in the shape of a ladder, how to books on life and why it does not matter, some say radiation, some say divine light, alien invasion, ain’t it about time, some great overwhelming nothing humming climb, climb, climb, we have gouged out the ocean with our toxic eyes, shrapnel, prophylactics, expired anti-biotics, empty spray cans, burned out rockets, heaps of soil and stench and garbage, centuries accumulative, death defiant, burning bright, beneath a paranoid cluster of falling stars.”

Tour, stage 1

Lindefelt — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 12:39:22 +0000

So far: 5km+ tunnels, frost, upside-down film, golden salamanders, ESTA, frog pose polaroids and schlarafenland.

Vinterbarn

Lindefelt — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:27:52 +0000

As screened last week at Singsang and Stereogum, here’s the first video from Trilogi, the album-opener Vinterbarn. It was a challenge to make something Fredriky that’s actually “bright”. But winter is both the brightest and the darkest time of the year so maybe it makes sense. Just like mind control.
