MFMB - Sugar (Live at Sickan Studios)
Показать описание
DoP & Edit: Olle Enqvist
1st AC: Konrad Welinder
Music recorded and mixed by Joakim Lindberg
Studio version available on MFMB's third album "Sugar" out now.
After almost a decade-long hiatus, this year cult 6-piece MFMB announced their shock return to the scene with ’Six-figure Income', the closing track to their long-awaited album ”Sugar”. The followup to 2012's critically-acclaimed ”Colossus", ”Sugar" revives the dark and driven alt-rock the Swedes made their name with -equal parts rigor and finesse, wracked with nervous tension. This time around, however, a democratic approach to the writing process was decided on, with each member contributing equally to the sound and feel of the record. The result is unmistakably the sound of MFMB, but reinvented for these tempestuous times.
The making of the album is a story in itself. ”Sugar" is seven years in the making. It has been a bumpy ride. The tours following ”Colossus" took their toll, leaving them in a state of internal friction - infighting basically. Then when it finally came time to work on Sugar, when it was decided the process of composing songs should be a completely democratic one, tensions increased further. They were not always the best of friends. Priorities changed. Members quit, then joined again. It was never easy. We believe you can hear it on the album, how every song is a result of differing opinions fighting it out until they landed. In the end, it's MFMB, but ringing purer than ever before.
Opening up with title track, ”Sugar" recalls the bold and blistering stylings of their early work. A song about "the weight of existence and the deceptive allure of taking the easy way out”, it's an intense and propulsive opener and a warm-up for what is to come.
“This one just kind of fell into place, all by itself. It was very early in the process of making the new album, and we thought that maybe the whole thing would be this easy. Just let the songs finish themselves, it’s a cakewalk! We were very wrong. Sugar did however set the standard for the rest of the album."
MFMB have remained prolific throughout their hiatus, which includes Joakim Lindberg becoming one of the underground scene's most in-demand producers, working with the likes of Hey Elbow, Spunsugar, This Is Head, and many more.
MFMB are also notorious for their blistering live performances. The combination of dual drummers and two lead singers has given the band a distinctly raw and visceral sound.
