Sibiria was founded in 2002 by Martin Abrahamsson, Martin Hanberg and Erik Laquist. All three contribute with the songwriting. The drummer, Eric Ramsey, has been a member since January 2006. The debut album "Norrlands inland" was released in September 2005. Hallands Nyheter wrote: "The first swedish band in a long time that deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence as The Smiths". The second album "Inom familjen" was recorded in June 2006 during one week at a summer house outside of Strömstad on the swedish west coast. It will be released November 15th.

Even though the band members are located in three different towns far away from each other, the city of Östersund, where Martin and Martin grew up and where Erik is born, is important for the band's identity. The title "Norrlands inland" referes to that landscape and the song "Kastalskolan 9E" is a frank reconciliation with people and memories from the school which the title has taken it's name from. "Emil", the last song on the new album, deals with the loneliness that geographical distances can bring.

Although the distances between the four band members and the strong connection to Östersund is two things which imprints Sibiria, the lyrics range from a variety of subjects, such as love, hate and friendship. But we shouldn't talk so much about the lyrics. It's the music that is important, even if Sibiria sings in their native tongue, which is the most natural thing to do even if a lot of people see at as a statement. Why sing in english when it makes the listeners and yourself less engaged?

There has always been a melancholy touch to Sibiria's songs, even if the band sometimes come up with sprawling pop punches such as "Ljusdal" and, from "Inom familjen", the new single "Det har varit svårare". On the new album the recording process was far more important than on its predecessor. Since Sibiria's three song writers make their music in diferrent places and times and the distances makes it impossible to rehearse, the feeling of still beeing a band playing together was important. Therefore the recordings were made in a week at a summer house on the swedish west coast. If you listen carefully you will here the warmth and love that these days and these songs recapture.

TA HELG





Aug 12 2007 9:31 AM

Popklubben Ta Helg! lämnar snart en lyckad säsong
bakom sig. Efter sju kvällar med god stämning och bra
musik lägger klubben ned. Men om det inte är med
flagga i topp som vet vi inte vart den har tagit
vägen.

Till säsongsavslutningen presenterar vi stolt: Montt
Mardie!
David Pagmars alter-ego har släppt ifrån sig ett
prälband av ljuvliga soulpophits de senaste åren,
såsom klassikern "Highschool drama" och högst
radioaktuella hitsen "Set Sail Tomorrow" och "1969" .
Plattorna"Drama" och den sensate dubbeln
"Clocks/Pretender" har släppts av inflytelserika
ettiketten Hybris och består av vacker, självfylld,
drömsk pop som med all rätt hyllats.
Ena halvan av senaste alstret var en duettskiva där
David delade låtarna med artsirer som Jens Lekman,
Hello Saferide, Vapnet och Andreas Mattsson från
Popsicle.

Med sig till Östersund och Marité har Montt Mardie ett
band på nio personer som gjuter ännu mer liv i de
soulstompiga små mästerverken till låtar.

Säsongsavslutningen äger rum fredag 17/8 och kommer
även att bjuda på en avskedsspelning med Penny Century
innan Östersundsbandet först drar på englandsturné och
sedan flyttar ut i stora världen igen. Samt ett
euforsikt dansgolv i vanlig ordning naturligtvis.

Bakom skivspelarna finner vi musikkonnesörerna Petter
& Olle Arbman
