LB9 is a dance act that I created in 1999. Back In Town was part of my second album, Mist, recorded in 2003 and is a 90s dance song influenced by the likes of ATB and Eiffel 65. Today the track has finally been released on all of the major streaming and download platforms for the first time, joining my previous release Breathe, also first recorded in 2003, both issued on the label Poppy's House. Listen or download below, and for more information contact me at richardstuartturner@hotmail.com
Introducing the brilliant Esther with her new single Savage Love. Stockholm-based Esther (Lennstrand), who incorporates the vibraphone into her electronic pop music, launched in 2019 but only last month released her excellent debut album Fragmentality, which features a lot of lovely and unusually structured electronic pop songs.
Two and a half minutes of pop perfection, Savage Love has twinkly laidback production almost reminiscent of Zero 7 at times, but with an urgency and quirkiness usually only found in Swedish indie-pop. I saw Esther supporting The Cardigans in London last month – the band hand-picked her as its support act so you knew she was bound to be good – and good she was; such a talent on the vibraphone, and this delightful track interpolates Satie's classical masterpiece Gymnopédie No. 1.
Throw in a video full of charm and you can see why renowned Swedish radio station P3 has been playing it a lot.
Esther has also toured with Lykke Li, Kite, Amason, bob hund, Deportees, and Miike Snow.
