Never ones to do things conventionally, Envelopes have made their own mixtape/album sampler entitled ‘A Soup of Germs’.
Taking some of the best bits from their own forthcoming album ‘Here Comes the Wind’ (released early 2008) and mixing it with some of their favourite bands (B52’s, The Flaming Lips, Yo La Tengo, Neutral Milk Hotel), the resulting mix is a heady brew of odd ball pop and surreal fun.
‘A Soup of Germs’ is available as a FREE download from Envelopes
Envelopes return this September with brilliant new single 'Life on the Beach'. This is the sound of a solar eclipse, as filtered through a mescaline soaked B52s and some pretty surreal imagery. The groove is obese. Henrik and Audrey tell this tale of decadence and denial in tropical setting, surrounded by the swampiest drums and guitars you’ve ever heard.
Envelopes are a five piece who have made their homes all across Europe. Brought together by a shared love of skewed, lo-fi pop, they sound like all your favourite bands put together, whilst also sounding like none but themselves.
Living in Stockholm, Malmo and Paris the band fought geography, and won: spending enough time together during school holidays to home-record their truly special debut album ‘Demon’, released very quietly on the newly formed Brille Records in late 2005. ‘Demon’ which means ‘demo’ in Sweden, suggested Envelopes were certainly the coolest band to emerge out of Sweden and France via York, where they subsequently moved to rehearse and begin work on their album proper.
New UK live dates to be announced shortly.
Envelopes are:
Henrik Orrling (vocals, guitars, keyboard, production)
Audrey Pic (vocals, guitars, keyboard)
Fredrik Berglind-Dehlin
Filip Ekander (Drums)
Ulf Höglund (Bass)
