Strange Swedes Envelopes are back with a new single on Brille, co written with Jim Steinman. It's called 'Party' and is more of their excellent skewed, wonked-out indie pop with floppy tongue & lolloping ears. A fun cross between Pixies & the Knife (even the pagan headfuck sleeve is very Knife-esque!) is the only possible way to describe this tune. Cute Euro-quirk flourishes mingle with hypnotic, chunky basslines, hyper-space guitars that whirl round yr head & eccentric boy/girl lyrics that just scream off kilter Scando-delight. Their earlier gear was more toytown & unhinged but they've still got a fair degree of individuality. So therefore I look forward to their album with keen ears. 7" only............

Hailing from Stockholm, Malmo and Paris, Envelopes are a five piece brought together by a shared love of skewed, lo-fi pop.
Their unique vision of modern pop music draws on Pixies, B52’s and Talking Heads, while sounding like no-one but themselves.
Available on limited edition 7” vinyl (1000 copies). Taken from Envelopes’ forthcoming sophomore album ‘Here Comes The Wind’.
Produced by Envelopes and Tore Johansen (Franz Ferdinand, Cardigans, New Order). •Widespread ress from Q, Uncut, MOJO, NME, Plan B, Artrocker, FACT, Clash and many more.
