Golden Kanine

Sweden's Golden Kanine started off as a loud guitar based indie-rock band but went on to experiment with more diverse instruments and a more intimate approach. Their debut album "Scissors & Happiness" incorporated a wall of snares, mandolins, trombones, banjos, guitars, fuzz bass guitar, pianos which combined the sonic noise of indie rock with the delicate feel of lo-fi and the more danceable parts of folk music, it received rave reviews in Germany & led to the band signing to Glitterhouse.

What they say about their new album:
"One ill conceived remark about having a new album out next spring during a concert launched a year of febrile work. Few of the songs were in place, rehearsed and tested in public, actually only three, I think. The rest were dug up from under piles and piles of old rubbish and polished into shine while yet a couple were written as we went along. Some of the songs not finished but seconds until stepping in front of the microphone in the studio. The initial idea, or ideas, was to be faster, more intimate and darker and to have a rougher approach to recording than what we have had before. These ideas coincided well with our friends Mattias Larsson and Henrik Hoffer which took on the immense work of recording the album. Mattias was a friend of ours since some time back and we knew his strengths as an engineer and producer but with Henrik it was more of a gamble. We knew of him and his band previously but had never recorded or played with him before. The guys committed themselves with great devotion and we spent many great hours in the two studios in which the album was recorded. The title of the album was actually intended for a side project but sounded great as an album title as well so we went for that instead. The title itself derives from the idea of sudden misfortune and how to deal with such."
