Bottenhavet Sign to Fuzzorama Records; Debut Album Coming Soon
Once upon a however many years ago, respected Swedish fuzz purveyors Truckfighters signed Skraeckoedlan to their label, Fuzzorama Records, and their picking up Bottenhavet now reminds me of that perhaps because like Skraeckoedlan, Bottenhavet — from Stockholm — also have some aspects of sound in common with Truckfighters to begin with. But the style overall hits with its own impact, and while Bottenhavet aren’t necessarily as proggy as either Truckfighters or Skraeckoedlan at this point, they’re just putting out their debut album now. Give these things some time, hmm?
There’s no audio from the LP as yet and details are minimal — I’ll be interested to find out when the time comes if Bottenhavet recorded with Niklas Källgren, as Fuzzorama bands often do, especially for their first releases on the label — but a new single will be out right after Halloween called “Våg,” and one assumes more info will be forthcoming at that point. Fine. If you’re up for a little minimal-effort digging, while Bandcamp lasts you can check out a couple of tracks from their page that I’ve embedded below, as well as a quick announcement/teaser/promo for the record to come and the single that will arrive ahead of it next week.
Also noteworthy is that Bottenhavet play Truckfighters Fuzz Festival #4 at Debaser/Bar Brooklyn in Stockholm, which is held Nov. 10-11. More info here. I wish I was going.
Everything seems to be in order, then. I’ll let you off with a warning this time. Next time there might actually be new music to check out. Heads up from the Fuzzorama newsletter:
