Bjorn Kleinhenz was born in Stuttgart, Germany in the early summer of 1981.
After a few years there, his family moved to the deep forests of Smland,
where Bjorn and his twin brother took their first careful steps towards
becoming musicians. After playing in numerous bands through his childhood
and teen years Bjorn started writing his first songs as a solo artist when
stranded on Ireland for a few months in the fall of 2000. He immediately
started recording when he came back to Sweden and has been releasing records since then.
Up to now he released 2 albums, a split EP two 7s, a bunch of tapes and
CDRs as well as participating on a few compilations. 3 years ago Bjorn started
to run a small record label with a few friends in Gothenburg, Johnny Brttom
Records. In 2004 he did about 60 shows somewhere around europe,
playing solo or helping friends out like Laurel Music or Boy Omega.
His music sounds like a long deep sigh, as if he digs out all his emotions, his
feelings and dispread them just in front of us. damped arrangements, a doleful voice and here and there a little bit of sunshine. Floating melodies and moony moments.
Songs that grow and grow vast and not causeless have been
compared to Elliott Smith and Will Oldham. It would just be too easy to see
in Bjorn Kleinhenz nothing but the new Northern Singer/Songwriter
Sensation. To be just that, his design of contemplation is too close to the less
geographically obvious heroes in adagio, just as The Jayhawks, Canyon or Early Day Miners. Closest though to his own melancholies.

hey b trying to get to leipzig for w.end so if not this time than next hope all is well..Mx M:Soundtrack presents: Donnerstag, 22. Mai 2008:: @ 9 p.m. Castanets (US-freakfolk) + Alina Simone (US/Russia-singersonwriteraufrüssisch)
Castanets is American music drowned then reborn clear-eyed and wet with sea spray. Castanets is murderous nights and the 10 west sunset and crying gulls. Castanets is Raymond Raposa. Castanets is Raymond Raposa alone, walking through the dark and crowded dancefloor, singing bare voiced (rangy, high, cracked and real) with acoustic guitar. Castanets is delta heart, Nashville hands, outer space brain. Whats on their radio? Harmonia? Dirty Projectors? Waylon and Willie? Castanets is going to look you straight in the eye and tell you some of these friends of mine, how I miss them so.. http://www. myspace. com/castanets Alina Simone bridges the gap between golden-throated pop princesses and the more substantive reigning queens of indie rock, but to mark her as derivative is grossly unfair--the woman simply has body. Simone integrates the great tradition of spoken work into the body of her songs, giving free-flowing verse the appearance of form;Miss Simone, seems poised to claw her rightful place among the guitar-heavy rock goddessess of the world. http://www. myspace. com/alinasimone

Saturday Looks Good To Me (USA) + The Black Atlantic (NEL)
Polyvinyl Records ist ein Label der Superbands: Of Montreal, Aloha, Headlights, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Architecture In Helsinki, Mates Of State und 31 Knots - die Armada im Indieschen Ozean ist hier zuhause. Mit an Bord: Saturday Looks Good To Me. Die 6 Musiker aus Michigan verstehen sich selbst als Popband. Da sieht man wieder , wie frei auslegbar dieser Begriff ist. Die Musik von SLGTM vereint 60s Pop mit Indierock, straighten Rhythmus mit frickligem Drumming, einfache Instrumentierung mit orchestralen Arrangements und umgekehrt. Gegensätze ziehen sich bei SLGTM nicht nur an, sie verschmelzen miteinander, und das macht die Band zu einem tollen Erlebnis. Tiefe Wasser sind still und wunderschön. The Black Atlantic sind die perfekte Ergänzung zu SLGTM. Traumhaft gespielte Popsongs, dazu eine große Stimme, erzeugen eine beeindruckende Mischung, die ein wenig an Copeland und die früheren Jimmy Eat World erinnert. Mit The Black Atlantic und Saturday Looks Good To Me wird Euch der Samstag nach der Show definitiv gut stehen, wenn ihr mit strahlendem Lächeln allen erzählen könnt, was für eine tolle Show ihr erlebt habt.
Hej Björn, wunderschön ist sie, deine Musik :)... immer wieder. Wenn die Hasenschaukel mich freigibt, werde ich dich am Freitag mal mit ganzer Band anschauen kommen. Freu mich schon ganz doll:)) Bis dann, Anja

Schönen Gruß von Sogh
