Over the years, quite a few Friday Bridge songs have been remixed to a splendid result. But is it Art? are about to release a compilation of the remixes digitally, on Spotify etc.

The compilation is called Do You Know How To Spend It? and the release date is set for late January 2010. We would like to add a couple of new remixes to this compilation. Therefore, we're asking you to make a remix of Horror of Horrors off our latest album, Bite My Tongue.

You will find remix files and more info here:
http://butisitart.org/Friday_Bridge_rmx_competition/

We want your submissions before 18 December to be able to announce the winners before Christmas.

Looking forward to hearing what you come up with!

Yours faithfully,
Friday Bridge and But is it Art?

I don't write much about music. In fact, I try not to know that much about music, either. You know that joke about music critics being failed musicians, well, it's striking how often it's the other way around. And sadly it is the underlying cause of much horrible, cold, "clever" music that's as filled with pointless injokes as a piece of first-year art school art.

ANYWAY.

But I will write a little thing on one of my favourite albums. It is a magic record. In fact, it is the best album in the world every night between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. At all other times, it's Hounds of Love. So it's not that hard to remember.

Anyway.

A Walk Across the Rooftops.

Did you know that i was originally conceived as a sort of demonstration record for Linn Electronics?
No, neither did I until a minute ago. I try to stay away from facts like that.
But it's what All Music Guide says.
Now you say, but doesn't that remove the magic?
Au contraire, my friend.
In the proud eyes of the Technician when he hears the absence of annoying digital distortion in the mid-highs, you'll find magic.
Of sorts.

But it's not important.
It's in the lushness and sparseness.
The sorrow and the cautious hope.
Scotland.
Youth.
Night.
Shop windows.
Rooftops.
Brilliant.

Why won't they team up with MySpace so that it could be automatically posted here?

So we were listening to the new Kiss album, like you do, and thought you'd be interested in some of our initial feelings, thoughts and opinions surrounding it:

It's not very good.

In other news, we've been recording with guitar pop side project This Year's Model all weekend and have now created something quite splendid. We think. A little teaser (first two songs in the player) is to be found at the This Year's Modelspace.

Friday Bridge are now on Posterous, making use of this blog tool's phenomenal ease (this is not sponsored, I just feel it's quite brilliant) to post a bit of whatever that's inspiring to us, pictures, pictures and pictures, mixed with a friday bridge mp3 or two and the occasional text entry.

This is the bathroom at the FB headquarters at the moment. We are doing some renovation but it takes a lot more time than expected...

Thanks for the support, darlings, at the Cosy Den festival last Friday! We had a great time, hope the same goes for you. Stockholmers who missed this event, can see us at Sweetness (Bonden) on the 24th September. Please come - it will be back to disco de luxe, after our (quite successful, non?) "real music" experiment at the festival.

Here's some of it:

"Agebjörn's trademark sparkly synths and Moroder-esque bassline form a billowy disco bed for Ylva Lindberg's airy vocals. A nice jam to kick off your weekend dance party." - Pitchfork

"This is some silky smooth music. Very dreamy and flowy." - DANGER! DANGER!

"Sweden is chock full of amazing talent, and Friday Bridge is no exception. They've just released a new album called Bite My Tongue. Fans of Sally Shapiro will love the remix we have to share with you today by the man behind it all, Johan Agebjörn. I also hear a bit of Lykke Li in their material as well. Great indie electro-pop!" - HardCandy

"The remix of Friday Bridge’s “This Case Is Closed” (from the band’s new Bite My Tongue LP) delivers more than 6 minutes worth of fantastic “Shapiro-esque” bliss." - La Cinta


The track can be downloaded for free from But is it Art?.
