JJ Band – Live I Kungsten 12″
Discreet MusicWhile working on his solo albums, JJulius put together a live band consisting of Clara Flygare (Standard) on drums and vocals, Gustav Danielsbacka (Incipientium) on guitar and Mattias Rörström (Happiest Place Records) on bass. The all star incarnation debuted in Gothenburg in October 2021 and the following year the group recorded a couple of songs in Kungsten. The heavy ballad opener ‘500 spänn’ sort of evokes the spirit of prime time Felt while the angular UKDIY bizarro blast of ‘Sorg I Göteborg’ and the late era Skiftande Enheter noddings of ‘U2″ shows a more energetic side. The galloping, life-affirming instrumental closer ‘Vargen’ is one of those epics you could easily see the band expand and just doing longer and longer versions of live until it finally takes over the whole set. 45rpm white label 12″ with risograph paste-on sleeves and insert. Mastered by Lasse Marhaug.
