Shaped in 1995, Golf club 8 became among the pillars of Sweden’s pop scene having a string of melodic, eclectic albums. Users Karolina Komstedt and Johan Angergård experienced previously worked collectively in the music group Poprace, and their fresh group — which started as a documenting project before developing right into a full-fledged touring music group — explored from bossa nova to trip-hop. Pop usually remained at the guts of Golf club 8’s audio, though, and Angergård produced additional efforts to Swedish music by assisting run a well known indie label, Labrador Information, and logging amount of time in several different rings. Komstedt and Angergård documented their 1st three tunes in 1995. After fielding gives from several brands, the two made a decision to partner with Siesta, a Spanish label, for the discharge of their debut solitary, “Me As well.” A full-length recording, Nouvelle, adopted in 1996. Both produces sported an cartoon twee pop audio, however the band’s second recording — 1998’s The Friend I Once Experienced ­– found Golf club 8 extending their wings by incorporating components of dance music. Twelve months later, the music artists headed overseas to create their live debut in the CMJ Event in NY, which spread Golf club 8’s music to a fresh continent. Now liberating albums on a global level (and touring to get them, as well), Golf club 8 continued trying out different influences through the entire early 2000s. A self-titled recording made an appearance in 2001 and gained evaluations to Portishead’s function, while 2002’s Planting season Came, Rainfall Fell was a lot more experimental and digital, credited in no little part towards the construction from the band’s very own documenting studio.

Released in-may of 2010, the record proclaimed the very first time Membership 8 caused an outside manufacturer (Jari Haapalainen). Because of their next record, 2013’s Above the town, Angergård was once more in the producer’s seat. Using purposefully out-of-date documenting technology and checking out some fresh styles, the recording was their most assorted and sonically interesting outing to day. Angergård remained occupied within the next couple of years, to the idea of liberating two albums in 2015 (Eternal Death’s self-titled debut as well as the Legends’ It’s Like). Later on that same yr, Golf club 8’s ninth recording, Pleasure, premiered. Before saving Angergård wrote 30 tunes; he and Komstedt select eight to record in synth-heavy, Euro-disco-influenced style.
