Release Notes:
Irene grew into a full scale band quite
spontaneously in 2005. The members are all friends
from the local pub in Goteborg, Sweden. Some songs
that Tobias Isaksson (aka Bobby) had written just
couldn't wait to be performed live. The people that
did the first show had so much fun that they wanted
to stick around. By the autumn of 2005 Irene was an
octet with semi-permanent members. Shortly after
that the record label Labrador signed the band.
A critically acclaimed debut album called Apple Bay
was released in 2006. It was an upbeat, super-short,
24 minute tribute to the 60's sound with most
instruments recorded live. Apple Bay has been
licensed in The USA, Australia, Thailand and Taiwan
and distributed via Labrador's associates in
countries all over the world. In the spring 2007
tours of England, France, Spain and Germany made
Irene aspire to take their music to a new level. The
result was an almost perfectly executed, timeless
pop trip of 27 minutes titled Long Gone Since Last
Summer. Although the album is due in Sweden less
than one year after the debut it displays a band
with brand new qualities. The members of Irene
remain beach crooners, lounge punks and next door
nice guys.
