Los países nórdicos y más concretamente Suecia viven un momento dulce (un momento que se remonta ya a más de una década) en lo que a proliferación de proyectos de pop electrónico de calidad se refiere. El enésimo ejemplo es Ashbury Heights, dúo formado por Anders Hagström y Yasmine Uhlin. Esta nueva sensación llegada del frío es una de las recientes incorporaciones más acertadas y con más futuro de los últimos tiempos en Out of Line. Tras su firma a principios de 2006 con el super-sello alemán de la escena independiente, se han hecho esperar más de un año antes de publicar este su esperado debut, ‘Three Cheers for the Newlydeads’. La pareja puede estar orgullosa de su primer trabajo oficial, ya que su escucha es como una gran bocanada de aire fresco en un género como el synthpop, tan congestionado últimamente por aburridas propuestas de medio pelo.

En su discurso no hay nada especialmente novedoso que llevarnos a la boca, es más, existen muchos guiños a bandas que más o menos todos conocemos. Podemos encontrar referencias en las que se adivina el romanticismo de Elegant Machinery, el histrionismo y contundencia rítmica de Welle:Erdball, o la alternancia de voces masculinas y femeninas que utilizaban The Human League. Su secreto reside en la forma de mezclar todas estas variantes más que en el fondo. Hablamos de un synthpop ochentero, descarado, directo, de bases muy marcadas y apabullantes melodías con gran amplitud de miras que oscilan entre lo frívolo y lo oscuro. Para obtener este brillante resultado se han apoyado en John Fryer, conocido por ser miembro fundador de los legendarios This Mortal Coil y sobre todo por sus labores como productor de artistas como Nine Inch Nails, HIM, o Cocteau Twins.

    Yourslut: Yes, my purpose of life. I joined the band just to torment you. You who I had never known, seen or knew existed ;) And by the way if Anders has so bad taste in women, then it's interesting that Yaz joined since she was his girlfriend at that time ;D I thought you liked her? chemicalproject & Dirty_Mistress: I don't take him serious :) I was not happy with the gig in Finland so I understand if he noticed it and I'm not happy with the Blutengel remix either by the way, we only had a few days on us to do that one. I am always thankful for constructive criticism since I know that I have much to learn. But I will make it clear once and for all Yourslut. I will NOT leave the band just because some ppl don't like me. Music is my life and I will not stop doing it. And you shouldn't doubt Anders. He lives for music as much as me and he choosed me for my talent. So if you question HIS intention for bringing me in the band, then you really shouldn't listen to us.

    @ Dirty_Mistress: There's actually no point in having any kind of discussion with that guy, it's not worth wasting energy. I just hope Kari will not take him and his nonsense seriously (@Kari: please, honey, don't! ;) ).

    Surely that's the only reason why Kari is now part of the band...-.- ...Fine, we've established the fact that you don't like her but stop insulting her pls...again there's no reason for that. Give some constructive criticism instead. Calling people names is not constructive and has nothing to do with their music, which is what matters....

    Well she has no talent at all. Anders just has a crush on him so ofcourse he had to ask her to join the band.. Oh god Anders has a bad taste in women. I saw Ashbury Heights here in Finland and Kari Berg was a cow. I hope Anders realizes it too.

    @Yourslut: Yaz decided to quit the band on HER own. It´s not Kari's fault and she did not destroy the band in any way. If you don't like her voice that's okay. However it's not okay to call her ugly, a slimy monster or whatever rude, uncalled for and unpleasant thing that comes to your mind. It has nothing to do with her being part of the band or talent as a singer. In fact it's just incredibly childish and not to mention mean. Kindergardeners have higher standards than you do. If you don't like it, stop listening. There is absolutely no reason for you to behave like a childish asshole...People...unbelievable...-.- ...On a happier note...I <3 the City Nights Remix you guys did for Blutengel. Even though Anders doesn´t seem to be very happy about it (blog myspace). Excited for the album and the studio diary is entertaining...^___^

    If I am a troll then KatiBerg is a slimymonster who has destroyed one of my favorite synthpop bands because Anders just likes her.

    Thank you so much for the vid! I hope you keep us up to date on the album, I get sorta disappointed when I come here and see no new Myspace entries or anything (ignore Yourslut, he's a troll).

    @ Yourslut: What does being 'hotter' have to do with anything? If you actually think that it's significant in this particular case then I'd have to say that this is the most ridiculous idea I've heard all week.

    A video diary, cool :) Maybe the earlier version of Shades of Black mentioned in the video would be a neat track to put on a bonus disc for the new album?

    Yasmine had better voice and she was hotter than you are.
