Top 10s for 2004: Niklas Åström (And the Sound)

Mates of State (US), The (International) Noise Conspiracy and Isolation Years are the first acts confirmed for next year's Umeå Open.

Sadly, Isolation Years has been forced to cancel their planned Swedish tour with Grand Drive as recording obligations are taking longer than expected and are being given the highest priority. The band plans to reschedule the dates for spring around the time the new album is due out.

I'm sad to do it, but a week has passed so it's time to bid farewell to the mp3 for the new Isolation Years single "Nurse hands". As mentioned before, the single will be officially released on November 24 via NONS/Network Entertainment Group and it should be getting regular airplay on Swedish radio any day now, if it isn't already. Thanks again to everyone behind the scenes for making this happen - I'm thrilled that I'm able to offer exclusive new music through this site, especially when it's from a band that I'm a huge fan of.

Today it is my great honor and privilege to bring you and exclusive mp3 of the brand new Isolation Years single "Nurse hands". The single will be officially released on November 24 via NONS/Network Entertainment Group and will be accompanied by a video from director Andreas Nilsson of the band Silverbullit. Check out the artwork here. As mentioned before, the new full-length album is still being mixed and should be out in February. IY has long been one of my favorite bands, so I am obviously very excited to bring you this new song. Huge thanks to everyone behind-the-scenes who made this possible! Don't forget, IY is also touring Scandinavia later this month with the UK's Grand Drive:

11/24 - KB, Malmö
11/25 - Herrgår'n, Linköping
11/26 - Sticky Fingers, Göteborg
11/27 - Nalen, Stockholm
11/28 - Klubb Söndag @ Strömpis, Örebro

Guess what? Isolation Years isn't the only band offering hot new tracks at IAT today. We've also got yet another new song from Peter, Bjorn and John and their new album "Falling out". Today's song is called "Tailormade" and was produced by fellow Planekonomi artist Paddington DC. Needless to say, it sounds great, so be sure to check it out.

Isolation Years will soon be releasing a brand new single entitled "Nurse Hands" on November 24, the first from what will be the group's eagerly awaited third album. A video is in production with director Andreas from Silverbullit who also did worked on clips for TSOOL and The Knife. The still-untitled full-length has a tentative release date set for February next year, but they're still busy mixing it, so anything could happen. Look for samples and new press pics and so forth soon. Otherwise the guys will be hitting the road in November for a few dates around Sweden alongside Grand Drive from the UK. Dates:

11/24 - KB, Malmö
11/25 - Herrgår'n, Linköping
11/26 - Sticky Fingers, Göteborg
11/27 - Nalen, Stockholm
11/28 - Klubb Söndag @ Strömpis, Örebro
