I'm From Barcelona Announce New Album and Remix Contest
 
I'M FROM BARCELONA
WHO KILLED HARRY HOUDINI?
NEW ALBUM OUT NOW

REMIX CONTEST ANNOUNCED FOR "MUSIC KILLED ME"

Quote:

"What the eyes see and the ear hears, the mind believes."
-Harry Houdini (March 24, 1874 - October 31, 1926)
I'm From Barcelona's new record Who Killed Harry Houdini? was released on Mute October 14, 2008. The sunny first single, "Paper Planes" - including the B-side "Motorway - was released August 19, 2008.

The band has announced a remix contest for the track "Music Killed Me". In addition to the winning remix being posted on the band's website and myspace page, the winner will receive free tickets to upcoming I'm From Barcelona shows. The deadline to submit remixes is November 3, 2008 and must be submitted through the band's MySpace page.

Their follow up to 2007's debut album Let Me Introduce My Friends, "Houdini" once again showcases the 20+ member band's ability to write pop that is as complex as it is colorful.

Inspired by escape mastermind Harry Houdini and his own experiences as a failed amateur magician, frontman Emanuel Lundgren and band locked themselves in the studio and escaped into songwriting. The result is a return to form as well as an exploration of new subject matters and musical territory.

Tracklist:
Andy
Paper Planes
Headphones
Music Killed Me
Gunhild (feat. SoKo)
Mingus
Ophelia
Houdini
Little Ghost
Rufus

I'm From Barcelona released their debut album Let Me Introduce My Friends on Mute in March 2007. Called "A brilliant pop record" by All Music Guide and given an 8.4 rating and "best new music" distinction by Pitchfork, Rolling Stone called Let Me Introduce My Friends "pretty damn charming." Lauded as "euphoric" by the New York Times, their first US appearance at Lollapalooza 2007, won them the honor of Time Magazine's selection for the #10 Best Live Performance of 2007.

I'm From Barcelona is based in Jonkoping Sweden. "Who Killed Harry Houdini" is co-produced by Emanuel Lundgren and Fabian Torsson.
