Well, yes.....finally we are releasing our second album "Marit and the drums" in a number of European countries via Groover Recordings/The Other Music.
Ten songs as a result of three years struggling with weird beats and Marits vocals. The result is great!
Tricky melodies and grooving bass lines. Soft rhodes and evil synthesizers on the top of dirty beats. A "Scandinavian Lounge" in the dark shadows.
The Phunky Drakes - Swedes Malte Frisk and Daniel Sandberg - formed just before the rise of the new millennium and we debuted with the funky and highly acclaimed twelve inch "PD Beats" through Swedish label Eloge. Soulful club smash hit "Guilty" followed in the summer of 2000.
Since then we have released records on labels in both Europe and the USA and you're able to find The Phunky Drakes in record boxes owned by producers and DJ's from all over the world. We've been receiving props and shout outs from people of great musical magnitude such as Bo Williams and Mateo & Matos. The music has also been remixed by Sweden's finest; Hkan Lidbo, Spnka NKPG and Martin Venetjoki.
On the debute album from 2003 "Phunky Drakes presents: After School Special" Marit Ilis teamed up with her vocals. Today she is a full meber of the band and the creative center.
The album was embraced by swedish media, getting great reviews in a wide variety of swedish daily newspapers and music magazines and is given a lot of airplay in swedish radio.
Please note that all tracks from the new album are avalible for licensing!!
