The Goner is a band from Stockholm Sweden, First discovered on the Golden Apples last year via the Bitemarks EP out on Dying for Bad Music and available for free download. They have a new album out for 2012. “Hello Friend, Today I Will Sing Beautifully For You”
Daniel Westerlund has put together a mixtape which we play on todays show as the main feature. He describes it simply like this .” I called it SWEDISH DELIGHTS MIXTAPE. Some of the songs are new, some old, some forgotten, some unknown”
The band have a Soundcloud Page including thier latest tracks and they describe the music like this…”Here is a waltz. It could be about coast lines or long time friends or cabins on the hillsides resembling dying fires during night time. Or maybe it’s about something different altogether. – Surely it must be about ancient forests up north, covered in fog, during the summer of 2010? We hear you ask. It could be. We say and gesture towards the coffee pot. You seem slightly unnerved by our vagueness. But that’s alright. It’s still early. This time of morning we don’t have to regard everything in our lives with absolute certainty, wouldn’t you agree? We don’t say this out loud. But we think it. And you can see that. But you still haven’t touched your coffee. And we wonder why. Surely it must be about borrowing a friends bicycle and riding it all summer long? And at the same time pretending it’s really a tandem? We hear you ask. – It could be. Spring is coming. But you’ve been around for a while and you know better. There’s always time for doubt…”
