Limited vinyl LP pressing. 2018 release, the 10th album from influential Swedish duo Club 8. The band has worked with field recordings, instruments from the Middle East and Asia and dusty old synthesizers to create meditative, hypnotic soundscapes on the album. Golden Island marks the duo’s biggest leap since they formed in the small town of Ahus in 1995. The album is a place somewhere between the real and the imaginary. It dwells on quietness and subtle moves created by odd instruments, field recordings and sampled voices creating embracing atmospheres pending from soothing to haunting. Club 8 was founded by teenagers Karolina Komstedt and Johan Angergard in their hometown of Ahus, Sweden in 1995. The duo started out as a Bossa Nova inspired guitar-pop band as heard on 1996’s Nouvelle then soon after moved on to create electronic dance music found on 1998’s The Friend I Once Had. Between 2001 and 2003, they made three chilled out indie soul albums and returned after a four year long hiatus with The Boy Who Couldn’t Stop Dreaming. Angergard served as album producer up until 2010 when the band enlisted Jari Haapalainen to work on the African-tinged The People’s Record that ended up on Under The Radar’s Top 10 list of 2010 years Best Albums. Johan returned to the producer’s chair with the diverse Above The City in 2013 and also served a producer on 2015’s album on sex & jealousy, Pleasure.
