Total devotion and an esthetic that 
is defiant and consistent. Håkan 
Engström has listened to "Tape Hiss, 
Hit or Miss And Sometimes Even 
Bliss" and likes what he is hearing.

Wobbly country and a rock-style as if
it was rolled straight over a 
roughed-up nailcarpet, from a 
Stockholmer that used to play with 
Burek V. The music is not quite as 
lo-fi as the coquettish title may 
suggest – but you shouldn´t let 
yourself be fooled neither by the title 
nor the brutal distortion that on some 
songs pushes the music close to 
Dinosaur Jr; Mats Grönmarks music 
is way more personal than that. It´s in 
his odd phrasing, in his 
unconstrained relation to the 
unsteady rhythm, in hans total 
devotion as a singer; an esthetic 
that is as defiant as it is consistent. 
Has Mats Grönmark a soul mate it 
would probably be Kevin Coyne.
