Top 10s for 2005: Samira Englund (My Enemy)

Kent
The hjärta och smärta EP
RCA

If someone told me seven years ago that Kent had released an EP that contained a children choir on it I would surely wet my pants, since like most Swedish people my age, I was once crazy in love with Kent, but just like a lot of the initial fans, my adoration ceased quite some time ago. Although, compared to most people, I think I stuck with them quite a long time into their career, yes, I even thought 2002's "Vapen & ammunition" contained quite a few good tracks. But with their last album I finally decided to give up on them, and if I ever had got a Kent tattoo, I would now have spent my savings to remove it. Not even the children choir sounds any good (Kent manages to ruin this super safe device by overusing it). I wouldn't call the music on this EP (or Kent) horrible, but compared to their former self, I find this very difficult to appreciate.

Swedish indietronica act My Enemy will be doing a CDR ep on Yellow Mica Recordings entitled "Roo", due out at the end of September. At around the same time, their main label Vapen & Godis will release a new CD-single with remixes from Johan Fotmeijer and Tommy Eld as well as a cover of "Cambodia" by Kim Wilde.

In other Vapen & Godis news, the label will be putting out Tommy Eld's debut EP later this fall along with a new 7" split featuring Cyndee Lee Hulko and Don Agbai.
