What you say No-one has reviewed Tonad by Erik Levander yet. Give us your opinion on Tonad by Erik Levander. What we say This record left our Phil feeling happy. Some of you older readers may be remember the name Erik Levander as he released a track on the terribly sadly defunct Whiskey 7" series along with that Bauri dude. It was the Swedish concept 7" you see. That aside we have a new CD in by the Levander chappie on Neon records of Sweden in a cutesy edition of just 500. It comes in a lovely printed case as the artwork ( I greatly approve) and musically it's full of fizzles and warm tones. Some crunchyness and crackles....  avant garde melodic electronica. Rather pleasing I thought. What the label says: An ordinary computer is transformed into a digital transmigration of soul. Dense, detailed, progressive webs of struggling sine waves, digital jars and brittle stuttering chords. Brought to life. Breathing and talking. Erik Levander has an approach to harmonies and melodies, that along with the underlying melancholy, creates a general impression, wich might bring thoughts to the shoegazing pop era. This 24 year old Swede suggests emotion as the spine of binary codes.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
