We’ve patiently been waiting a long time now for a follow-up to Yamon Yamon’s wonderful EP “Days Like Television” but today the waiting is finally over! We’re very proud to present Yamon Yamon’s debut album “This Wilderlessness” to you!
Physically “This Wilderlessness” is released in Scandinavia through Border Music today, the rest of Europe through Al!ve Distribution and as always we’re shipping worldwide from our very own e-store! Our Japanese friends can also order the album from Linus Records in Tokyo.
Digitally it’s available on Bandcamp and soon it’ll also be on iTunes, Spotify, Gogoyoko and all other digital distributors you can think of.
By coincidence we’ve also managed to dig up a few remaining copies of Yamon Yamon’s since long sold out EP “Days Like Television”, and also some nice T-shirts! Look for them in the e-store.
This Wilderlessness, the debut album by Yamon Yamon is now available for pre-order in the e-store.Order it now and get it in your mailbox on the day of the Swedish release date, January 27!

The release date for Yamon Yamon’s debut album has been set! It’ll hit the stores in Scandinavia by the 27th of January and the rest of Europe the 29th. It’s called This Wilderlessness and if you have ever had a crush on either the experimental pop scene from Chicago or Swedish indie-rock with addictive guitar hooks, you will love this album. If not, this is the band that will lead you down that road.
The first single The Darker Place is released today. Download it for free, including B-side You Are So Clothes To My Heart, at Bandcamp or stream it at Spotify. Either way, tell them how much you liked at myspace.com/yamonyamon and stay tuned for some release shows and touring dates.

Tenderversion is having an addition to the family! Solander (a.k.a. Fredrik Karlsson) is just now finishing up his debut album Since we are pigeons that we are very happy to present to you early this fall. The album will be available through Border in Sweden/Scandinavia, Al!ive in G-A-S/Europe, digitally via Bandcamp, iTunes and shipped worldwide by Tenderversion.
Solander might be an unknown name for you, but in fact Solander has existed in various formations since 2005. Making music for the short movie En död kråka (A dead crow) in 2006, contributing music for the film Hata Göteborg (Hate Gothenburg) in 2007 and releasing three EP’s spread out during these years.
In Solander Fredrik Karlsson is backed up by various people mostly from the Malmö underground scene (a.o. members of the bands Fredrik, Vit Päls, Audrey, Scraps Of Tape, Testbild!). It might be in form of a string quartet, an indie rockband or sometimes only by a single cellist. All of this is mere different kind of angles of what Solander sounds like, you never know. But what we do know, is that Solander’s music is based on strong melodies and thoughtful lyrics, a widespread variation of instrumentation, and a hunger to explore new paths and different ways to perform the songs.
In October Solander will be touring Sweden and also join Scraps Of Tape for a tour in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. More shows will be added and more countries covered later this year.
Check out the new video from Audrey. Taken from their latest album The Fierce And The Longing and directed by Tony Hultqvist, we present to you Black Hearts.
