Brothers of End – The End

Releasedate: 01-03-2010; Label: Playground Music
By: Nina Mende

Brothers of End are Mattias Areskog, Bengt Lagerberg and Lars-Olof Johansson Ståle.
They have known each other since they were about 15, when they grew up in the town of Jönköping and taught each other how to play music. Since then Lasse and Bengt have been playing with The Cardigans, while Mattias have been working as a journalist and playing with Swedish artists such as Consequences, Marit Bergman, Friska Viljor and Anna Ternheim. Two years ago their ways crossed again, on the back stage camp of the Swedish festival “Storsjöyran”, after a show with The Cardigans. They decided to start something new, and by all means try to redefine what they thought music should be all about. In October we released our debut album, “The End”, in Scandinavia and now it is also released in France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria & Switzerland.

“The End” includes slow indie music with surprisingly pure vocals accompanied by little music only. No super effects and blasting music, this album is kept simply, clean and pure, just like Swedish nature. Slow and thoughtful you float through the album like a little boat in the little waves of a calm ocean. With “The End” Brothers of End definitely created something different. With eleven songs the three Scandinavians show you how basic music should sound like. This is an awesome album and I surely do hope it is not the end of Brothers of End .
