Moonbabies At The Ballroom (AHA!088)
CD $10.00 
New album from Swedish duo! The Moonbabies third full-length
album "At The Ballroom" is their finest work
to date. Swedish duo Ola Frick and Carina Johansson started
their career in the late nineties honing their songwriting
craft. The first album "June and Novas" was
released 2001 and the follow up "The Orange Billboard"
from 2004 saw them make some major leaps with releases
in the US and in continental Europe. The new album contains
the track "War On Sound" (which first appeared
on the War On Sound Mini-Album, that was featured on popular
US TV show "Grey's Anatomy" as well as the Grey's
Anatomy Vol. 2 CD collection), plus 10 new songs, the
best of their career.

Moonbabies
- The Orange Billboard (AHA!059)
CD $10.00 
"Indie pop has relied happily on the hug'n'kiss of
melody and charm for plenty a year, and the formula has
yet to fail. Still, it's heartening to find some curious
souls willing to plug that sweet sentiment into greater
stylistic wanderlust and groovy electronic adventurism."

 “ The Orange Billboard” is the sophomore album
by Malmö, Sweden’s Moonbabies. The duo comprised
of Carina Johannsson and Ola Frick weaves a tapestry
of sound bringing together elements as varied as Yo La
Tengo’s atmospheric pop, The Postal Service’s
laptop cinema, My Bloody Valentine’s lulling crush,
The Notwist’s melancholy electronica, Stereolab’s
vintage twinkle, The Beatles’ “A Day In The
Life,” Azure Ray’s haunted shadowplay, Sonic
Youth’s desire to push farther, Måns Wieslander’s
melodic pop sensibility, Kate Bush's outstretched wings,
Stars’ heart-on-a-sleeve, and Broken Social Scene’s
kitchen sink. Integrating these influences with shared
male and female singing and a lush sound-world Moonbabies
have created a marvelous record. You may very well buy
a record as good as “The Orange Billboard” this
year, but you will NOT buy one better. Seemingly coming
out of nowhere, this is the biggest surprise of the year.
This is the record you’ll want to tell friends
about. This is the record you’ll put on your year-end
Top Ten list. Here they are, the Moonbabies – your
new favorite band.
