The Absents and the start of something new
It has been far too long since we talked. After finishing up a tour in
Germany last year which included supporting Placebo, we had to think
things over. We had to dream it up again. We made a few difficult
decisions - one came from within the group itself. Magnus left the band
after being United's bass player since the start. Sometimes you want
different things in life. United wishes him all the best in the future.
Magnus was replaced by Arvid who really fits the new line up.
Another decision was to start working on new material for the next United
album. The band has spent several months bashing it out in the rehearsing room
and began recording the new songs this summer with the production
assistance of Carl-Michael Herlöfsson - who also mixed Slick.
The band has prepared 20 new tracks. The songs were recorded in Decibel
studios in Stockholm where artists such as Pink, Ed Harcourt, Kelly
Clarkson and Trettioåriga kriget have also worked. No release date is
yet set.
"Patrik":
We know that the songs will stick out. They are weird rock tunes - and we
haven't forgotten how to be pretentious! We are really proud of the
result so far and the songs will be ready early next year.
United wants to thank you so much for all your love and support. Please
keep visiting our web page - you all give us valuable fuel to keep doing
better and braver music. You can also visit us at myspace/united. We'll
post as often as we can.
We will soon drop new stuff here so keep your eyes and ears open.
Speak soon and all the best.
United
