In Sweden we celebrate a holiday called Midsummer. It’s entails drinking schnapps, eating pickled herring, and dancing around a pole full for flowers and leaves. I know, it’s weird. But that’s what we do.
Anyway, for this years festivities I was in the Gothenburg archipelago and went to see the band playing. I was expecting bad Metallica covers but to my surprise they were actually really good. They’re called Endiamonds and have that Swedish West coast sound – a little TTA, a little Air France. Unfortunately their recordings don’t quite match their live performance, but we think this could be a gem worth keeping an eye on.

[...] “Absence” sounds like an ideal name for one of those ambient, new age, housetronica tracks from the early 90s, and the fact that it comes from a band called Endiamonds doesn’t really help that image. “Absence” is far from “Return to Innoncence,” or something like that: the track is a slice of summer-appropriate, hazy, coastal pop. It’s more like the absence of gray skies. [Discobelle] [...]

The maasai tribes in Kenya & Tanzania mix cow milk with blood and drink this for strength. Eating fish and drinking booze is not very weird.
Now you know.
