THE PEOPLE'S RECORD
CD/Vinyl-LAB130
Club 8 has travelled to Brazil for inspiration, bought records made in the '70s in Western Africa, used a percussion player from Cuba and hooked up with producer Jari Haapalainen (The Concretes, Camera Obscura, Ed Harcourt). The result is a unique mix of Swedish pop melodies and African rhythms - undoubtedly one of the most unique, captivating and catchiest pop records of the year!

2. Isn't that great?
3. Shape up!
4. Dancing with the mentally ill
5. My pessimistic heart
6. Back to A
7. Like me
8. Be mad, get ill, be still
9. We're all going to die
10. The people speak
JESUS, WALK WITH ME
CD/SINGLE-LAB113
Club 8's critically acclaimed album "The boy who couldn't stop dreaming" is pop music at its most profound, and the most personal, honest and beloved song in the whole collection is "Jesus, walk with me". The title track is backed up by four brilliant, exclusive tracks - two brand new songs and remixes by Jimahl and new Labrador signees The Sound of Arrows.
01. Jesus, walk with me
02. What I'm dreaming of is something I could have
03. Take me home
04. Jesus, walk with me (The Sound of Arrows remix)

THE FRIEND I ONCE HAD + 6 BONUS TRACK
CD-LAB004R
With a glittery mix of jangly guitars, bossa nova and sophisticated, melancholic pop melodies, ”The Friend I Once Had” was a big step forwards for Club 8. Their debut album ”Nouvelle” may be regarded as a twee pop classic by some, but the band would happily bury most those songs under a rock. This is the album they wish was their debut.
01 - Everlasting love
02 - All I can do
03 - Someday
04 - I wish you'd stay
05 - Holiday
06 - The end of the affair

STRANGELY BEAUTIFUL

SATURDAY NIGHT ENGINE
CD/EP-LAB039
Club 8 actually haven’t released a single since
1998. But when they write an indiehit like "Saturday night
engine" we just have to release it as a single. With loops
slightly out of beat, distorted organs and guitars, and a chorus
that sticks like a wintercap, everbody who's listening to anything
more indie than Mark Knopfler should love this song.
01 - saturday night engine
02 - I have no better plan
03 - so tied up
04 - giza
05 - people who would go for you
06 - sometimes I felt like a loser

summer. 5 glittery guitar songs in a joyful summer mood. All recorded
in the famous Summersound Studios.
01 - things we share
02 - mornings
03 - you and me
04 - don't stop the night
05 - sounds from the gulfstream
SPRING CAME, RAIN FELL
CD/VINYL-LAB022
»Spring came, rain fell« is Club
8´s most diverse, exciting and very best album so far.
Dub, C-86, triphop, chill out, 80's and bossa
nova are all mixed up here, but without ever losing focus on those
wonderfully Scandinavian and melancholic pop melodies.
The fact that this album is released just six
months after their gorgeous 3rd self titled album just proves that
this is Sweden's most creative and talented popband right now.
01 - we're simple minds
02 - spring came, rain fell
03 - spring song
04 - close to me
05 - baby, I'm not sure if this is love
06 - the chance I deserve
07 - I give up too
08 - friends and lovers
09 - teenage life
10 - karen song
11 - the girl with the northern soul collection
12 - we set ourselves free
CLUB 8
CD/VINYL-LAB018
Jazzy guitars, slow hip-hop beats, analogue
synthesisers and heartwarming female vocals ending up with the
a sound somewhere between Leonard Cohen and Air.
A glittering masterpiece!
01 - love in december
02 - boyfriends stay
03 - she lives by the water
04 - the sand and the sea
05 - falling from grace
06 - hope for winter

10 - i don´t need anyone
THE FRIEND I ONCE HAD
CD-LAB004
If »April and May« by Eggstone
is the ultimate spring song, then this album is a good runner-up
for the title as summer album.
01 - everlasting love
02 - all I can do - someday
03 - I wish you'd stay - holiday
04 - the end of the affair
05 - summer rain
06 - calcutta

08 - better days
09 - Karen
10 - missing you
11 - the best of seasons
12 - my heart won't break
MISSING YOU
CDs-LAB003
We love it. Love it love it love it love it.
Just like we love Saint Etienne, Baxendale and the Gilbertos. This
is dance music for tender hearts. And one hell of a hit single.
01 - missing you (radio edit)
02 - the friend I once had
03 - missing you (remix) |
