BikerBoy
My relationship with Hybris started with their first releases, among them was this girl who blew me away, she called herself El perro del mar. Since those days they have continued to release records that I like. Quite weard though, I think their best releases have been those made on cd-r. But I guess that is just how it goes, can not say I did not shead a tear when I heard what Sibiria had done with their lovely songs. This is what happens when you have pressure and expectations on your shoulders? Or is it the fact that you get to have a producer and a studio, I do not know.
But what I do know is that the music that Peter Lundbergh makes as BikerBoy, it is great! I had read about the release, it was said to be “like a Morrissey on speed”, hmm I thought. Then I downloaded the mp3 on their webpage, it was called “Heart”. Now I have two. And now I also have the cd-r, named “Heart”. It is the first song on it, there you can not really hear the Morrissey similarities. A great song though! Click on the link at the end of the post and hear for yourself!
The second song continues in quite the same spirit, still I can not find my Morrissey there. Well, somewhere in the background, far, far away. Then the third song comes, “you live your life, like the worst case scenario, you think you are so lycky now, but just wait, just wait…”, now Morrissey has left his guitarguys at home and started doing music on his own with a big fat stamp on it called “sweden 2005″. The fourth song is like a song that was made for “You are the quarry”, but it was number 55 and only 12 made it.
So yes, I agree with those who said that you could hear some Morrissey in there. But in this case it is not bad, not at all like with the horrible Boys! But not the best I have heard, but still, Heart is a great song. The EP lives on just by it if you ask me. A bit sad to say so, I had hopes for this one after hearing it. Well, these things happen. Download the song and make up your own mind, if you like what you hear, buy the record.
ps. how many times did I write Morrissey? Feels like I did it all the time. ds
