Read the press release:
Martin Abrahamsson i Vapnet om nya skivan:
”Döda Fallet
När jag startade Vapnet var det till viss del en reaktion mot rockbandsnormen, det fanns en poäng i att ha en sättning med fyra blåsare, en gitarrist och en sångare. Då kunde folk fortfarande bli besvikna över att vi inte hade en riktig trummis. Nu bryr sig ingen om det.
Alla tidigare inspelningar har gjorts hemma hos mig och det viktigaste instrumentet har varit min dator. Vapnets nya skiva är annorlunda, den kan nog klassas som en traditionell popskiva. Låtarna spelades in tillsammans i en riktig studio och vi har använt oss av många akustiska instrument: stråkar, vibrafon, orkesterpukor, cembalo och så vidare.
Vi spelade in Döda fallet på detta sätt av flera anledningar: dels så hade vi redan börjat spela med en trummis live och dels så hade jag börjat hata att sitta vid datorn. Men det var även ett försök att hitta en väg bort från den ständiga positioneringen inom popmusiken.
Jag känner mig så trött på hur gamla modernistiska värden fortfarande håller ett stenhårt grepp runt popmusiken och -kritiken idag. Samtidigt som Mojo-kulturen slentrianmässigt hånas så dyrkar journalister fortfarande samma idéer om ”det nya och det unga” En trend ska avlösa en annan, och vid varje skifte ska vi anstränga oss för att det ska kännas nytt och meningsfullt. Fortfarande är det några år från sextiotalet och framåt som präglar hela synen på hur musik skall bedömas och utvecklas. Men för mig är alla strävanden efter ”moderna utryck” retro i sig själv. Det är en nostalgisk längtan efter en tid då framtiden fortfarande existerade.
Jag trodde att jag kunde kliva bort från detta när jag lämnade datorn och lämnade över till ett klassiskt inspelningsförfarande. Att det var ett sätt att släppa trenden och plocka upp gitarren. Men det vi har gjort är att fullfölja den förutsägbara cykel jag själv föraktar, eftersom den elektroniska trend vi har sett de senaste åren naturligtvis kommer att få sin akustiska motreaktion.
Men jag väljer att se det här som ett första steget, en medvetenhet. De senaste åren har mannen med gitarren varit en tacksam slagpåse, någon jag har själv raljerat över och försökt distansera mig från. Samtidigt kan samma män köpa sig ett carte blanche genom en laptop eller analogsynth, Det är som om att man har glömt bort att det inte är gitarren i sig som är problemet.
Lite om skivan vi spelade in:
Mattias Glavå spelade in oss, han har spelat in andra skivor som vi gillade så vi frågade honom. Han var inte så överdrivet trevlig, det var skönt. Inspelningen var kanske inte alltid avslappnad, men det låter som att den är det i alla fall.
Låtarna är sig ganska lika, lite fler går i moll. Jag har även försökt att begränsa antal ackord och tonartsbyten. Skrev dock vissa låtar, som Plötsligt händer det inte och Stockholm, sett snett uppifrån innan jag fick den idén.
Jag tänkte länge att texterna var mina sämsta på den här skivan. Men när jag korrläste dem i häftet så såg det ändå rätt bra ut, jag kanske har fått högre krav. Min målsättning är att inte skämmas så mycket, så jag härdar mig genom texter som jag skäms lite inför. Det är därför jag använder ordet ”kärlek” i alla fall två gånger och ger en låt titeln Det rör inte hjärtat.
Om förra skivan på många sätt handlade om att vänta så handlar den här mera om att komma fram och upptäcka att det inte heller är lätt. I Inga fåglar och Jag såg bara dig strävar jag efter att nyansera bilden av kärlek. För den ses ofta som lösningen på ett, eller alla, problem, men vi vet ju att det inte fungerar så. Snart går du inte själv och Jag lät bara sanningen gå är däremot ganska onyanserade, olycklig kärlek är ju oftast det.
Foto på framsidan är taget vid Döda Fallet. Det ligger i Ragunda, en bit från Östersund. Vi åkte förbi där i somras.
Vapnet idag är Martin Hanberg, Anna Modin, Martin Abrahamsson (Östersund) och Stefan Strömberg, David Hansson och Philip Gates (Kungälv). ”

> For a new and modern music business
Hybris has, together with 6 other labels, founded an organisation called The Swedish Model. We think good stuff will come out of it. It's a new way of thinking more than anything else, a platform for new ideas and new business models. Where exactly it will all lead us, we don't know, but we're sure it's to a bright and better place. The future is in our hands.
---
The Swedish Model is a newly created cooperation and discussion platform consisting of 7 Swedish independent record labels. We have a common
agenda. We want to restore focus on the music. We believe in the future. We are doing this because we want to bring forward good music and will do
this as long as there are creative people. The creative will not stand and fall with an economic model or a physical product.

Marit Bergman:
"My friend Åsa Jacobsson, who plays keyboard with me now and then, once wrote the top 3 list of her life, and it looked like this:
1. Animals. 2. Christmas. 3. Music.
Mine is quite similar:
1. Choir singing. 2. Christmas. 3. Don’t know.
Now you see why it was impossible for me to refuse the offer of recording a Christmas song with The Sweptaways. Hope you like it."

// 2007-09-05 / Hybris welcomes Rubies!
> Rubies single in October!
Hybris welcomes Rubies to our family of artists!
Danceable folk, bedroom disco, and lost love laments; these are just a few facets of Rubies. California-based trio, Rubies are three young ladies clad in fineries, beaming beautifully with mystical symbols adorning their cheeks. Simone Rubi (lead vocals, keyboards) entices the crowd while Terri Loewenthal (bass) keeps them dancing. Add Amy Cooper's shimmering guitar, the harmonies of all three voices and beats provided by machine or borrowed man. While it could be in a crowded avant-garde discotheque in NYC, a motorik infused warehouse in Berlin, or the pine-needle carpeted redwoods of Big Sur, the energy of Rubies will have you floating in colored air.
The first single will be released in october by Hybris in Sweden and House of Tellé in Europe. The album, due early next year, have helping hands from Eirik Glambek-Boe (Kings of Convenience) and his new group "Kommode", Leslie Feist, Karl-Jonas Winqvist (Blood Music), Dan Judd (Sorcerer), Lars Skoglund (Laakso, Peter, Bjorn and John), Maria Eriksson (The Concretes) and a small army of other talented folks from all over the world.

> Vapnet three UK dates
We are very pleased to announce that Vapnet will do a small UK Tour. Something pretty rare for a swedish singing orchestra. Vapnet can be appreciated by anyone with a weakness for fluent pop music though. That's what Vapnet plays: fluent pop, bound by no language.
The UK tour dates:
22/1 London - Tack! Tack! Tack! at The Social w/ Cat 5
23/1 Oxford - at the Cellar w/ Borderville and Jack Harris
24/1 Glasgow - at Sounds of Sweden at Nice n Sleazy
Drop by if you are in the London-Oxford-Glasgow area!

// 2007-01-03 / THE KID NEW SINGLE!
> The noble art of jealousy
Download now!
>>> www.hybrisfiles.com/mp3/thekid-thenobleartofjealousy.mp3 <<<
And then read:
The third single from The Kid's debut album "La Société Nouvelle" is no detour from their trademark of punk, goth and straigt on assault of beats, guitars, rythm and that dark voice of singer Mary-Anne going deeper by the second. This release contains a Radio edit by "The noble art of jealousy".
If you are swedish you will enjoy the description of The Kid's sound below. If you are not, go to Babelfish and be confused. Or just download the track and feel the music do the doomsday dance.
"Hur ofta planerar du ditt soundtrack till domedagen?
Jag gör det ofta och med stor glädje. Som ungdomskille var Wagner det givna valet. Lite senare någon form av metal. Och sedan dröjde det ganska länge tills jag fick chansen att höra The Kid första gången. Det var räddningen. För ifall domedagen kommer och jag har musik i öronen så vill jag absolut inte vara förutsägbar. Jag vill heller inte vara för pompös eller gotisk. Jag måste vara säker på att det blir kul de där sista ögonblicken. Så det blir The Kid för mig.
Gladhatisk självföraktsdisco.
Försedd med hundratals giftiga bashullingar. Gör sig alldeles utmärkta till synen av ett gammeltestamenteligt regn som sköljer en nation av pungrakat annonsförsäljarslödder från F12-trappan. Jag vet inte var jag har fått det där sista ifrån. Småländska bombnedslaget Mary-Anne sjunger aldrig om det. The Kid låter egentligen ganska glada. De rullar ständigt in små vinnarfanfarer i splittret, glittret och smattret från The Kids maskiner. Det är fint och ska säkert symbolisera något i stil med att det finns hopp. Men jag vet inte. Det är känns fullkomligt meningslöst att analysera The Kid. De är bara det efterlängtade ljudet av en uppsluppen undergång med ett beat."

// 2006-12-07 / HYBRIS SIGNS JUVELEN!
> JUVELEN & HYBRIS KICKIN IT 2007!
Hybris signs Juvelen!
Juvelen has been quite the Internet phenomenon here in Sweden the past four-five months or so. Being somewhat of an Internet phenomenon ourselves what could be more suitable for us than sign him to Hybris. Especially since we have loved the hell out of his music since we found his myspace!
>>> www.myspace.com/juvelen <<<
Juvelen, although having appealed to the masses via the Internet, is very much a live artist. Playing clubs like the Bon Magazine party in Berlin or opening for Tapes n tapes in Stockholm – Juvelen brings down the house wherever he goes!
Juvelen is so much love and devotion it blows our minds of how devoted we are to this loveable jewel. Enough about us going on about him, take it from his own words:
“Straight from the motherfuckin dungeons of pop! Born in a Stockholm basement some two years ago, rising from the ruins of compromise and time wasted, Juvelen signalled the start of something funky fresh. Finally the record will be set straight. The good name of pop music will be restored, and sexy will once again be the shit. You can’t really mention Prince as an influence these days, can you? Let’s just say its about songs of the heart, sung from the hip. May I kick it?”
HYBRIS & JUVELEN KICKIN IT 2007!

> THE SWEPTAWAYS RELEASE THEIR CHRISTMAS EP NOW!
Our faboulus choir The Sweptaways has made a Christmas EP for us. The EP stars the magnificent voice of Magnus Carlson(Weeping willows) on lead song and The Gray Brigade as backing band. Christmas don't come better than this! Order from our webhsop!
>>> www.hybrism.com/shop <<<
// 2006-12-01 / THE SWEPTAWAYS!
> ORDER THE SWEPTAWAYS ALBUM NOW!
The Sweptaways full length album is now available in our webshop. Shortly their Christmas EP will also be available for ordering. The Christmas EP has Magnus Carlson from Weeping willows on lead song and The Gray Brigade as backing band.
Listen to the song at our Christmas myspace page!
>>> www.myspace.com/godjul <<<
The Sweptaways are 30 ladies singing covers otherwise. As they put it themselves:
“We always long for the stage. We are a crazy lady in bikepants and plume swaying safely on high heels. We are a distinguished gentleman tipsy on portwine. We are dog and cat. We are lipstick and crocodile tears. We are women without borders. We like the cooling breeze. We like wearing things on our heads. Parrots, foilage, owls, high hats, turbans. We like pineapple, spandex, feathers, gold, pumps, green forests, love and respect. We hang in vines and do somersaults in a neat row.
We are one body with a gigantic heart and almost thirty brains. We are constantly involved in complicated choir-democratic processes. We almost never cease to surprise ourselves.
We are overgrown children from the Langley School who broke into the costume-closet. Our wardrobes are as big as our ambitions. We love fake hair and things that shine. We are magpies on the hunt for silver.
We like wings, birds and sounds from the animal kingdom. We preen in colors of the rainbow, tyrolean glee and tutti frutti, as wild animals, secretaries, clowns, politicians and all the countries of the world.
We are a happening. A festival. A package-deal. We are many surprises all in one. We yell hurrah!
with an uncomplicated relationship to singing technique and sheet music. We are a coverband, a band of pirates, a band of pearls. Call us a ladies choir if you so desire. We are the choir that everyone (in the choir) have been longing for. Here you go, close your eyes, listen and try to envision us. Open wide: say Ooh aah.”
The world is a happier place now that we have The Sweptaways. Can you feel it? Happiness is all around. Smile. Float. In. Heaven. Forever.

They are back! Last years monster hit makers Vapnet new EP is released! It is called "Thoméegränd" and is remixed by Kalle J, Suburbian kids with biblical names and Le sport. Indie dance mania!
The grandiose floorfiller "Kalla mig" is remixed by none other than Kaah/SLS. That´s pop magic spun around and around in a meta-pop way so meta that it makes us dizzy.
Download, listen and buy/donate!
HELL ON WHEELS - ALEXANDR (mp3-single and video)
The magnificent Hell on Wheels is back! They sound better then ever! Guitars get shaken and battered, drums are thumped and thumped again in terrifying fashion, speakers distort, rhythms speed and slow down, amps get stretched beyond endurance over the top of this glorious, coruscating, heartwarming confusion of noise and sex and humanity. Think it sounds unapproachable? No way. This is ROCK! Rock, as we understand it: vivid, colourful, full of hidden intricacies and tumbling delights, guitars as instruments of expression, songs sharp and sudden nonetheless, climax and anti-climax, thrust and counter-thrust, melody and countermelody. Some people call it pop. That´s ok too.
ANDREAS MATTSSON - The album is now out! It has been awarded with great reviews.
9/10 in Sonic, 4/5 in Expressen, 4/5 in Aftonbladet, 4/5 in GP, 4/5 in Sydsvenskan, 5/6 in SVD and a big heart in DN. Shot straight up to position 14 at the Swedish album chart.

THE KID
They are back and they are on Hybris! This first single from The Kid is a slow creeping song that lights up the December dark. Our favorites Vapnet has made a sweet bossanovaversion of the original haunting melody. Two completely different songs, each unbelievably beautiful in their own way!
Debut album released on Hybris early 2006!
KALLE J
Kalle J is a young man that likes to bend and cut up things and put them together again. This is a dance meets pop masterpiece in five acts composed from we-dont-have-a-clue-how-many-other acts. It is the modern world of pop and Kalle J is your guide from now on. Keep up the pace, dance!

Lot's of things are happening right now at Hybris both headquarters. A sum up would be a nice idea, we thought:

SIBIRIA - Norrlands Inland (CD, 11 tracks)
The new TIAC single will be released this week! It's a two track CDR with the brilliant catchy radio tune called Illiterate I on it (also featured on the album). The B-side track is called Sidewalk.
And we also have the pleasure (and the privilege) to announce that the terrific first-rated one man-band called Montt Mardié has signed to Hybris! A single will be out really soon, and later this autumn a debut album will be released...
The future looks really bright and we are very excited about the release schedule this autumn. And again; a big welcome to Montt Mardié -- we really think you will like it here.

(Ok, this is not really hybris news, but we just had to let you know...)
Mattias and Kalle from Hybris are (together with Martin from the great mailorder Songs I Wish I Had Written, and some other people) founders of an enormous new project called Lovely Sweden. The idea behind Lovely Sweden is quite old, but we haven't had the time to start working on it since now. The idea is really simple: "Spread Swedish pop music to foreign countries."
This will result in, first, a compilation CD with only the best Swedish artists and, second, a website as a helping hand to show you to the right places, labels, people, artists and other essential stuff.
Please pay a visit on >>

Upcoming shows - Hybris artists on tour
(( El Perro Del Mar ))
Finally there's an LP coming out with Sarah. 11 fantastic songs collected from the first year with El Perro Del Mar and Hybris.
Sarah wrote this this about the CD compilation the other day:
Since the request for the earlier releases has been huge, a compilation of all the recording sessions (together with a new track) is scheduled to be released in April 2005. I’m sticking with my reluctance to making traditional album. Yet I thought it would be kind of nice to sum up the first recording year of El perro del mar with a plain compilation. No alterations or additions have been made on the tracks since I think it’s best to keep them in their original state. The way they were meant to be.
We are still working on distribution deals for the record. Please come back soon (or add your email to the newsletter) for information on when everything is set.
(( TIAC - Three Is a Crowd ))
TIAC is a new friend of Hybris. TIAC consist of Fredrik, former member of post punkers CDOASS, and Olle. They are making music that will make you want to dance. This spring we will first release a CD-R with TIAC and later on their proper debut CD. This is a duo that have the whole world just waiting for to pick them up.
(( Sibiria ))
Östersunds finest (nowadays; Gothenburg's finest) pop band, Sibiria, is in their small home studio! They're recording one of the best (and most awaited) pop records with Swedish lyrics in years (promise!). If everything goes as planned, a first single will be released this Spring, followed by the debut album in Summer 2005.
(( Vapnet ))
Vapnet is Martin from Sibiria, with vocals from Martin (also Sibiria). The first cdr/mp3 single was released in December 2004 here on Hybris. During the first or second quarter of 2005, another amazing Single/EP will show up. Download the first single from the Hybris3 section.
(( Hybris night ))
In just a few days Hybris will visit Club Heimat @ Landet in Stockholm. DJ: Hybris crew. Live: Vapnet & TIAC! Hopefully, this will be one of many forthcoming Hybris nights this year.
Heimat is Johan's (from Hell On Wheels) new club. Landet is the venue next to the Art School Konstfack, in Stockholm.
(( Upcoming shows ))
