Söder, (ex Tuk Tuk Rally, Åka Bil, Inferno etc) have released a digital single June 18, 2012 on Spotyfy. If there will be other releases Im not aware of yet.
The first track “Vad skall du bli”(What will become of you?) probaly makes one or two old punks to raise their eyebrows. It is a cover on Ebba Gröns “Vad ska du bli” from the 1979 single Totalpop.
After the lead singer of Ebba Grön, Joakim Thåström´s release of the mellow acuostic record “Skebokvarnsv. 209”, Thåström showed that the old punk energy can be transformed into acuostic ballads, so why don´t transform one of Thåströms older songs, like “Vad ska du bli?”, because the song in itself is brilliant, and so is this mellow coverversion. This is the ultimate soft song to play coming home from the bars and clubs in the early morning. It such record. It will probably work both with brought home company and when your drunk and alone. The voice of Söder sounds like a mix between Thåström himself and Stefan Sundström, but better. It fits the brilliant mixed acoustic guitars and bass. In a time when everybody wants to release singer songwriter shit, this is so much better that it all. The non cover song “En sorgsen song som gör mig glad” (A sad song that makes me glad) is even more mellow and sad, with some stroke of Mudhoney´s “Endless Yesterday” in it.
This is a brilliant single release from the Beatbutcher label that beat any of Major record companies tries to release a good song.
Worth buying (Spotyfy downloading), YES!!!
Note that Stefan Sundström done Ebba Gröns "Mona Tumbas Slimclub" in the same manner some years ago, and Nike and Gurra did "Vad har jag gjort" in the mid 80ies. Compared with them Söders song is better.
