New Kirurg hassles Drunken Sailors


I found these guys last fall when I was pseudo doing the Sweden posts, before that just kind of fizzled out completely.

Definitely a favourite.

So a few more basement sessions of "add a tad embarresment and blend in a cliché or two", and we have a little new material. "Do Him Well" is stunning through all its contorted 'drunken sailor' presentations, and "Chedallion" is quite clowns on the third floor of a heroin hotel meets Excepter...absolutely fabulous breakdown at the end of its eerie, screamy, synth deployment.

Kirurg - Do Him Well

Our local record store has a Swedish shrine right now. A Scandinavian map is the headline, Sweden coloured with a distinctive pastel highlight. It is adorned with recent album highlights from the land of immaculate pop - oh, the collective consciousness.
