スウェーデン/ストックホルム拠点のオルタナティヴロックバンド Abstract Crimewaveが、10/4にChimp Limbsからリリースするニューアルバム『The Longest Night』より、先行シングル 'Flyga Fram'のMVを公開！
ディレクターは Martin Forslund。
Abstract Crimewaveは Björn Yttling (Peter Bjorn And John), Joakim Åhlund (Caesars, Teddybeas)の2人組。
元々は Smileとして12年前から活動してましたが、有名バンドメンバーらによる同名の新バンドが現れたことによって生じる混乱を回避するために Abstract Crimewaveへ改名してます。
'Flyga Fram'は同郷のサイケロックバンド Dungenから Gustav Ejstes、Amasonから Nils Törnqvistが参加。
“When we started writing ‘Flyga Fram,’ we both pretty much instantly had Gustav (Dungen) in mind for the track. Even just the main melody at its core had this sort of hippie, 70s vibe to it, which is something Dungen are obviously masters at. Once he was quite literally on board, we got him to record his vocals and flute parts from a boat that he was on at the time, on vacation just off the coast of Croatia. I myself was on a tiny island in Italy, and my wife and I actually recorded the backing vocals there, while Björn was back in the studio in Stockholm working on the drums with Nils from Amason. I think that makes it a Europop tune, right?” – Joakim Åhlund
