Reflections of Darkness - Music Magazine - SOCIAL AMBITIONS

Since their last release - the single "Innocence" - the Swedish trio has evolved into a duo with founding members Anders Karlsson and Mikael Ekelund still present. Their newest achievement is a single entitled "The Strip" and it contains two tracks of retroistic electropop á la early New Wave.

In the words of the band themselves: "The Strip' is about being on your way to, or from, something important. It is a road with two lanes. One of them you own - it is your choice, your lane. It fills you up. It makes you strong. Invincible. The other lane is the path you want to avoid, but you know is there waiting for you."

The B-side "Midnight" is a dark song that fills the void ending up in the wrong lane or direction leads to. It might be described as something Vince Clarke and Martin Gore might cook up after a weekend in a dark basement after the cat died. Or as something Robert Smith might record after a trip to the supermarket. Once you listen you'll understand... The debut album is still in production but will be ready for release this autumn.
