Ever since their debut appearance on the Festival Rydal in
2004 we have been waiting long and patiently for the FONT─N
debut fireworks. Now the wait is over, and the warm August
summer night finds Swedes Jesper Jarold and Johan Melin firing
off their extraordinary longplayer unto the world. Featuring
the vocals of one of Sweden's strongest new generation singer
songwriters, El Perro Del Mar. Their music is hard to pidgeon
hole. As if they don't acknowledge any archetypes or rules at
all. It's liberated pop music. Free-wheelers of the frustrated
desillusioned longing soul skies.
Letter from the label curators and producers of FontΣn
"Aktionskammarn":
"We have known Johan Melin for some time now. Having played
together in different constellations during the Nineties not
only did we know that he was a very special person with the
biggest of hearts, we knew he was a sequencer acrobat and a
true breakbeat wiz-kid. But we did not really know what he was
capable of until he hooked up withà
àJesper Jarold, of whom we at first knew very little except
that he had been involved with some of the finest bands in
Gothenburg throughout the years. Yet it did not take long to
realize the creative master-mind of his. Jesper is a
brilliantly innovative guitarist as well as a fantastic
multi-instrumentalist and composer.
Together they now form FontΣn and from the moment we first
heard their work we were literally stunned. Believe us when we
say: we still are.
It is therefore with immense honour that we are able to
present you with their album "Aktionskammarn" û a sparking
fountain of an album which blends JohanÆs 16-bits-mind and
JesperÆs golden analogues into a perfectly indescribable
universe of melody and rhythm. The music of FontΣn is
regardless of time and space, regardless of boundaries and
conceptions and regardless of rules and regulations. Just as
great music should be û impossible to categorise.
"Aktionskammarn" is a playful and fickle journey through dark
techno and maniacal melodic pop, via melancholic folk music
and disturbingly euphoric dub, down to deep choral
psychedelia, jazzy hip hop and back again. Words like eclectic
and unique may have completely lost their meaning by now but
there simply is no other way to go about describing this ever
so beautiful album."
(Executive producers Philip Granqvist & Sarah Assbring aka El
Perro del Mar)
