Channeling their inner Rick Astley, Swedish band Club 8‘s new disco-tinged-whooa-oh-ohh track I’m Not Gonna Grow Old is basically what happens when you take the signature Labrador twee song and inject it with a hint of the 80’s. It’s simply, a delightful pop tune that is perfect for your summer soundtrack. I guess we should of seen this coming from Club 8, as the duo’s remix of Amanda Mair’s House was one of my favorite songs of last year. The song is off the group’s 8th album – Above the City which is set to be released off Labrador on May 21st.

Check out this song, it’ll brighten up your day.

Song of the Day: Doctors & Dealers – Trouble

Toronto – It’s rather odd to write about a Swedish act that’s not signed to Labrador, but Doctors & Dealers is a one person band out of Stockholm. Sparrow Lindgren’s music is not your typical Swedish twee material, but rather dances along the lines of cabaret meets Regina Spektor meets the black of night. What does that even mean? I don’t know. Her third album, Every Sinner Has A Future will be released June 28th off Bluesong records and is produced by Gordon Raphael, the man behind the Strokes. This track, titled Trouble, a track off the album and was previously on an EP titled Trouble. Featuring pianos, saxophones, tuba and Sparrow’s soft, playful voice it’s got a great unique sound to it. Reminds me of the scene from season one of Gossip Girl where Blair strips and dances in a burlesque bar. Check it out
