EMERALD PARK - For Tomorrow

Emerald Park was formed in Malmö, Sweden as Emerald in 2001. After some quite successful years on the demostage, EP released the full-length album "Sadness Within" (produced by Stellan Colt). In this time the band did many live shows, amongst them openers for Maria Mc Kee, Luna & Clem Snide. A follow-up single named "My Star" (produced by Carl Granberg) was released a short time after. The band’s second full-length album, "For tomorrow" sparkles from the speakers in one nice flow and one catchy tune follows the next like beaded (pop) pearls on string. Songs like "The Commonfield" or "Pasadena" combine the best of ARCADE FIRE, SUNWHEEL and THE CURE. The rest of the album reveals influences from bands such as STARS, BELLE & SEBASTIAN, DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE, NEW ORDER or PULP. The first single "A higher loss", already raised the bar in June. The full time album however, produced by Moonbabies multi instrumentalist Ola Frick, easily jumps that bar with audible confidence.

The music business is sometimes quite confusing - confusing for all those ambitious musicians, who struggle for support, but even more confusing for the numerous trend detectors, who are sent bustling through the clubs by the major labels. But sometimes everything is nice and simple like the pop literature of the day after tomorrow: an innovative internet label meets Sweden's best sound export since 'SHOUT OUT LOUDS' in the world wide web. Country boundaries are meaningless in the 21^st century and the world will listen to new songs, which it shouldn't have missed from the beginning (as compiled from the bands website).
