When we started releasing music by Guds Pengar in late 2019, it was the start of a new era for Rama Lama. After previously almost exclusively having put out music in English with an “international” sound we opened the door for music in Swedish with a more traditional alternative Swedish sound. Guds Pengar was simply just too good to skip out on and in retrospect this opened our minds for signing acts such as Gula Blend, Per och Olof, änsendå, NOVA BLAST and JERKA.
It’s always extra special connecting with music in your native language but we’re also so glad that our Swedish releases have often found the way to an international audience - with Guds Pengar being on rotation in radio in the UK, Gula Blend being blasted on radio all over in Australia, änsendå getting attention from international Youtube accounts etc. etc. It feels like underground acts that sing in Swedish is really booming at the moment and there’s just so much good of it to dig in to, some that we would like to recommend are Det Jordiska, Skiftande Enheter and Levande Död.
Ok, enough side tracking. Before we started releasing Guds Pengar, they had “semi-released” a great EP just on their Bandcamp. This EP has now been remastered and it’s going to be released all over the shop on August 5th (the day before they play Fools Gold Malmö). To make it extra substantial and for it to never hide in the shadows again we’ve also pressed it on a CD that also includes their great debut album. First single ‘Komet’ is out now, it’s a song even more relevant now than when it was written almost 10 years ago, using the same metaphor for the climate crisis as the movie 'Don’t Look Up' (who obviously must have stolen the plot from Guds Pengar).
