Lasses Komet release new album

Formed in 2002, Swedish pop outfit Lasses Komet blend various elements of music such as indie, folk, afro, pop and funk to create their own unique sound. The band’s frontman and songwriter Lasse Brahme, who has previously shared a studio with Jason Diakité and Måns Asplund in Lund during the late nineties, built up the momentum of the Lasses Komet project, touring extensively after the eponymous debut EP.

Going on to drop their debut album, titled Kass Tajming in 2005 the band looked like they were riding a wave of hype and on the way up. However, this period sparked the end for Lasses Komet after the oxygen seemed to run out and the outfit dissolved.

After the long hiatus, the Malmö-based band made a comeback with their highly anticipated reunion. Armed with a new sound and fresh sonic styling, they’ve returned with a new album seventeen years after their last. The new record, called Inget var så pinsamt som vi hade hoppats, shows a band that seemingly never took a break from writing and playing together.

Featuring eight new original compositions, on their new album they deliver a laid back, easy listening indie folk vibe full of bright harmonic structures and a sound drenched in sunshine. Intricate guitar leads and breezy instrumentation and percussion pair perfectly beneath Lasse Brahme’s chilled out vocal style which spins catchy and memorable lines on a charming new record from a band that has reunited to craft something truly worthwhile.
