A De månbleka tingen
B Elektricitet
This is long overdue and I should have written a blog about this one long time ago. My favorite swedish synthpop-group, Mr Jones Machine, released a new album on the 30th March, named Monokrom.
De månbleka tingen was the first single from the album and it is also the first realease on vinyl from the band. It's not my favorite track from the album. It's a duet with Susie Päivärinta from swedish 80s icons Lili & Susie, that might explain why it was chosen as a single before stronger songs like Mannen i svart or Vit Citroën. But De månbleka tingen is still a good song and it still grows on me.
For me the main reason to buy this single is the b-side and the song Elektricitet. It's not on the album and unique for this single. A really good song with a lovely analogue sound. Definitely a new Mr Jones favorite for me.
