At the same time. Ironville are standing on the tip of their toes creating extrovert music for introvert listeners. More of everything. Accordion and trumpets. Strings and choirs. Singing birds and broken promises. Open your mouth wide and sing! Fill up your iPod and run as far as your legs can carry you. Or as far as you can get in 27 minutes. On december 2nd, 2009, seven man strong Ironville released their album debut. "Welcome to Ironville" is released on their own label Hare Tracks with distribution by Playground Music. The album is produced by Ironville and renowned Swedish singer/songwriter/producer Markus Kruneg�rd. Recordings were made in Studio Cobra with Martin Ehrencrona (Konie & I Are Droid) as sound engineer. Mastered by Andreas Tilliander. Ironville are Olivia, Emelie, Henrik, Joel, August, Marit and Samuel. One half of the band come from Norrland in the northern parts of Sweden, and the other half originate from Stockholm. Some nice press quotes for "Welcome To Ironville" below - see some more in our blog. Sonic 7/10.. Koncentrerad klackspark- Stockholmsband tr�ffar r�tt p� debuten. Ljudet av en helt�ckande indieklubbkv�ll. K�rlek, kriser, f�rtroliga samtal, eufori, vemod, utspillda glas, inbjudande dofter och svajiga r�ster huller om buller i ett enda kakafoniskt Elephant 6-myller. Efter�t �r man helt slut men k�nner sig ocks� egendomligt st�rkt d�r man beger sig hem�t i den ensliga natten. (...) �ven om s�ngen p� sina st�llen �r lite skev och kanske demokratiskt uppdelad i �verkant - �r detta ingen vidare belastning f�r Ironville. Det passar rentav bara in i den allm�nna stimmigheten; i livet, st�mningarna, k�nslorna och m�nniskorna som skildras i l�tar som "Night Out", "Roses" och "Sweet Perfume". Dessutom l�ter det p� det stora hela, fantastiskt. - Pierre Hellqvist Groove 5/5.. Den torra faktadelen: Welcome to Ironville har producerats av Markus Kruneg�rd och mastrats av Andreas Tilliander. Hare Tracks �r bandets egen etikett. Albumet �r bandets f�rsta. Medlemmarna kommer delvis Stockholm och delvis fr�n Norrland. Den flummiga intrycksdelen: �h herregud vad roligt! Falsks�ng har inte k�nts s� h�r fr�scht sedan K�nn ingen sorg f�r mig G�teborg. En dramatisk m�ngd olika instrument har inte k�nts s� h�r bra n�gonsin. Valstakt och marschfeeling har s�llan varit mer klockrent p� en popplatta. S�g har alltid varit ett underskattat instrument. Skevt p� de r�tta st�llena, absolut eget och sjukt inspirerande. Den korta sammanfattningsdelen: Jaa! MER! - Anna Gustafsson ELLE - Kristins spellista.. Markus Kruneg�rd har producerat Stockholmsseptettens debut som �r en energichock av fioler, charmigt opolerad s�ng och popl�tar i valstakt. -Kristin Lundell i ELLE Helsingborgs Dagblad 4/5.. Markus Kruneg�rd har producerat Ironvilles skiva, men han har inte l�mnat n�got tydligt avtryck. Tur �r v�l det, f�r annars hade varken de soliga str�karna p� "Roses" eller de upprymda handklappningarna och bl�sinstrumenten p� "Don't you wish" f�tt ta plats. Det tar allts� inte l�ng tid innan Ironvilles v�rme n�r mitt hj�rta, trots ett bandnamn som skvallrar om en h�rdhet. Maniska och mulna "The woods" utm�rker sig bland l�tar som annars g�r i euforins tecken. Med ett hamrande piano i fokus avslutas en debutskiva som b�rjar med franskdoftande str�kpop f�r att sedan �verg� i n�got som skulle kunna vara signerat en lite mer ostrukturerad Frida Hyv�nen. -Nadja Nilsson N�jesguiden 4/6.. Markus Kruneg�rd-producerade Ironvilles debutskiva pr�glas av r�sterna fr�n flera olika vokalister, alla sm�skeva och halvfalska. Vilket utg�r en uts�kt kontrast till den mjuka musiken. Diskreta fl�jter, bl�s och l�gm�lda gitarrer ramar in den i grunden ganska enkla indien, som ibland g�r sm�skumma utflykter till skenande m�rka, mer komplexa jaktmarker. Elina Wessman SvD 4/6.. Ironville, som oundvikligen kommer att uttalas som j�rnvilja, �r en grupp klar�gda kvinnor och m�n, och �ven om jag aldrig tr�ffat n�gon av dem skulle jag �nd� gissat att de b�r anoraker d� och d�. Om du inte vet vad det inneb�r har du inte lyssnat tillr�ckligt mycket p� brittisk indie fr�n slutet av 80-talet. Lyckosamt nog finns det fortfarande initierade bibliotekarier som just Ironville, som hittar de fina, melodi�sa bitarna av genren och l�gger till lite nutid. Andreas Tilliander och Markus Kruneg�rd �r ocks� inblandade, och kanske �r det d�rf�r som det till och med g�r att dansa till den h�r naiva, str�kfyllda, n�rdiga popskivan. -Elin Unnes itsatrap.com.. Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby decree that ironville's forthcoming album "Welcome to ironville" to be 2009's second exceptional release, the first being Livaventura's "...And they slept with their eyes open". Keep in mind that order here is unimportant as that Livaventura record won't be out until April and ironville's debut has no official release date yet (spring?), but I've heard them both and am confident in my appraisal. Hopefully you already saw the video for "Roses" as created by band member Henrik �hberg (aka Tv�rv�gen) -- if not, please remedy that straightaway. And download the song, of course! The lyrics are full of neediness, but the delivery keeps the desperation at bay by being quirky, not cloying. It's a discussion, not an ultimatum, at least not yet. And the string-heavy arrangement is a welcome respite from all the generic guitar-based crap I sift through on a daily basis. Actually, that's one of ironville's finest qualities -- it's not just a matter of having an armada of instruments at your disposal (which they do), it's about using them judiciously. I can't say for sure that it's the band's own doing or the invisible hand of producer Markus Kruneg�rd (Laakso), but I don't really care because the result sounds so fantastic. Keep an eye on these guys for sure. -Avi Roig
