   About A Smile and a Ribbon


FINALLY! Our debut album The Boy I Wish I Never Met is out now on Shelflife Records. The album comes as a multipackage containing a vinyl single with four new songs ("Then I Felt Your Cheek", "Miracles", "Holding Hands", "Sugar Daddy"). Buy the album or download the title track "The Boy I Wish I Never Met" through Shelflife's homepage. You could also order the album from the excellent web shop Fraction Discs in Göteborg or if you live in Malmö visit Rundgång, Konst & Musik or På Besök.

ABOUT THE RELEASE: "A Smile and a Ribbon is Rebecca Mehlman and Martin Lindqvist, a Swedish combo who was more-than-willing to take the unlucky fate of Rebecca's failed relationship and set it to music. The result is bubblegum pop most sanguine. But watch out, this sweet spoonful of sugar might give you a toothache if you're not careful. The Boy I Wish I Never Met is a pure P!O!P! album that draws influences from 1950's girl bands, 90's twee, and a whole lot of quirky personality. Its a not-so-innocent look at childhood fancy and lost love."

- Shelflife Records, September 2007.
