The
most common way to describe music is to compare it other bands, so please
forgive me if I mention the bands which came to my mind when I heard this
great album. The first bands which came to my mind are Goldfrapp,
Portishead and Stina Nordenstam. Yet they don't have to fear any
comparison to this bands, first because they surely are as good as the
beforementioned bands, and second because they are in one way completely
different. The music and instrumentation is very simple, you wont find any
samples, synthysizers and other electronic means in their music, so the
listener wont be distracted from Karolina Brobäck's awesome both fragile
and intense vocals, only carried by Adam Magnussons guitar, basist Ola
Hakansson and drummer David Augustsson. As you can guess from their names,
they are all from sweden, Göteborg to be more precisely. The band was
formed in 1997, by the initial three members Hakansson, Augustsson and
Magnusson. All three of them played in a Heavy Metal band before they
formed Canidas. After some time they were joined by the former punk-
vocalist Karolina Brobäck. So you can see that also their roots are
completely different to the other bands on this site. In October 2001,
they released their debut LP "Golden", and now they are eager to go on
tour and present their new LP to the rest of the world outside of Sweden.
They already have a concrete picture of the concert arangements, so they'd
like to experiment with lights, scents and want to offer matresses for the
listeners, so that they can completely loose themselves in the
soundscapes. They would like to play as support for Sigur Ros or maybe
Radiohead or Massive Attack.
