You might know that there is music for every mood you are in. Seldom enough there is music that fits when your in a good mood and in a worse atmosphere. A band that fits in both moods comes from the Netherlands. Bombay is the project by Mathias Janmaat a multi-instrumentalist located in Amsterdam. He's on the scene during many years and this is the first record I recognized him. Deeply based in the tradition of Grunge he adds a lot of low-fi ingredients to his powerful sound. Their songs works with powerful drums and a mighty bass. Their songs are different in their structures and moods. Sometimes dark and gloomy and if you give them a chance you might find a great new band.

Low-Fi

Yesterday The Swede featured the superb low-fi songs of Birds of Hell that made me remind to another artist that was close to this kind of music. Billy Childish is one of these artists that plays his kind of music for long long years. Making less compromises in his way of music. Listening to Birds of Hell I came back to a collaboration Billy Childish did a few years ago with Holly Golightly. It's good to hear these songs again and not a too bad start into the new week.

And this is another song by Holly that I've almost forgotten.
