Nanook of the North

For those in hope of closer contact with their inner eskimo, Nanook of the north is always willing to lend a helping hand. While hanging out at a party in the suburbs of Stockholm, friends Mattias Olsson and Olle Soderstrom heard Nanook playing strange songs about his travels from Alaska to Taby, Sweden. Good golly were they fascinated. Here was a red cheeked inuit young man who would always see beauty in the worst possible surroundings. They both caught on to his annorak with their hands and would not let go.They convinced him to record the songs in Mattias' home studio, Roth Handle, providing an arsenal of gadgets and toys (guitars, organs, horns, Optigan, Omnichord, Stylophone, theremin, etc.)The Taby tapes is their first album, released anno domini 2004. Many musical guests include Pea Hix (Optiganally Yours/Physics/Tit Wrench), JFRE 'robot' Coad (Aspects of Physics/ Physics/Lesser), and a cast of gladitorial female singers, like Camela Leierth, Karin Engstrand, Irma Schultz, Malin Olofsson, Jennie Lobel, and Akaba.
