Purely by an act of complete coincidence here is the second band we’ve featured this month from Malmo. Not that Lampshade are completely Swedish, there are glints of light from other parts of Scandinavia, mostly Denmark. Their last album ‘Let’s Away’ came out in 2006 and featured the not inconsiderable talents of Damien Jurado. ‘New Legs’ was the second track and highlights Rebekkamaria’s kooky vocal excursions as well as her bands eccentric approach to music making. The effect is lively and amusing but most of all it displays the singers gift for writing a memorable tune. If you are intrigued perhaps you should track down the documentary called ‘Dreams Through Wind’ which uses Lampshade as its central theme. Some genuine Northern Lights here then. KD
