Almost a year a go the second album of the Swedish band Emerald Park ‘For Tomorrow’ has been released. Strangely enough the album has not yet been reviewed by Gothtronic. That’s a shame, cause this music may not be ground breaking, ‘For Tomorrow’ is absolutely worth listening. Especially fans of bands such as Death Cab For Cutie, Arcade Fire, Pulp and White Lies may appreciate this album. Although these five Swedish musicians never reach the extremely high level of Pulp and Arcade Fire, we can say they made a consistent and enthusiastic album. An album filled with catchy and not too heavy indie pop songs. Too bad for Emerald Park we already know this music from Pulp, Editors and Arcade Fire, otherwise you might call this original. Now Emerald Park can be called a welcome addition to this genre. And luckily enough they do have enough quality for that difficult task. Not because every song is a small piece of art, but songs as ‘The commonfield’ and ‘Lights of Sunday’ got the right to be heard. Even though they’re released almost a year ago.....

Hi there,
It's been a while since we wrote here. That's because Tobias, Daniel and Mattias have been busy writing songs and Martina is pregnant (the child is to be born late this summer).
So in September we hope to present  to you a newborn child and some new songs. How about that!

Found this in a blog today:

"‘Lights of Sunday‘ by Emerald Park is another fairly acoustic, indie song, which I have been listening to a bit earlier this year. Again, something to listen to while walking slowly, at night, to no particular destination. And again, I identify with it as reflecting how I have felt at times.
He’s tired of himself
I don’t think sleep will help
You’re weary and you sleep
‘Cause you’re tired of yourself
When you’re sorry for yourself
You push your friends away
And when you push your friends away
You feel sorry for yourself "


Thanks to 272 Records "Lights of Sunday" also gets airtime in the US.

It's added it to the new 2 hour Acoustic show called THE ACOUSTIC LOUNGE, it airs everyday from 5:30am to 7:30am Pacific Time, so tune in if you'd like to hear Emerald Park on the radio. Smash 679 claim to have a very dedicated following of listeners and are currently in the top 35 Alternative and top 20 Modern Rock stations on the site and rising fast. They do close to 1,500 to 2,000 listening hours a month.

Emerald Park � For Tomorrow (cd Af Music/Danse Macabre)

Posted on 14 Apr, 2009
More or less 4 years after their debut-cd comes the new full length from Emerald Park. This Swedish band is a new name and thus a discovery for me. Their music covers different new-wave grounds without being totally new wave at all. There�s also a touch of pop running through their songs. �For Tomorrow� sounds like the offspring of Prefab Sprout, Everything But The Girl and even The Cure. The song �Pasadena� perfectly stands for this comparison and is without a shadow of a doubt one of the main pieces of their album. In a more pop-rock style comes the very efficient �Open�-cut. The male-female vocal duo on �Ume� is also noticeable while the more into ballad style �V�rnhem� reminds me vaguely of Simon & Garfunkel. A few songs are also more refined through the addition of violin parts. That works pretty well on the �Istanbul�-song. The only reproach I could make is that several songs remain a bit too soft, but globally speaking Emerald Park tries to inject some fresh breeze in the wider fields of pop and wave music. �For Tomorrow� is a honest release with some decent songs!

Current mood:  focused
Some 6 months  after the release of "For Tomorrow" the record is reviewed in [sic] Magazine in Belgium. This is a review written by an author that really has listened to the record, probably many times. Thank you Brett!

"Emerald Park are one of those wonderful, contradictory surprises – a band that sounds both unique yet familiar. Their incongruous nature is expanded still further. Emerald Park seem innocent yet knowing, their songs instant yet memorable and their records lo-fi yet well-produced."

Read the entire review at:
http://www.sicmagazine.net/articles/261/emerald-park-for-tomorrow

Next month a previously unreleased song will appear on an Af-Music compilation. It will be free to download. Stay tuned for details about that.

/Tobias
