It's simply not possible to know all the bands and records and so it takes a coincidence if you discover a band that you've never had on your radar. That's what happened to me recently when I was looking for Scandinavian guitar bands on the internet.
One of the results was a band that simply calls itself Studio. It is a band that was founded almost twenty years ago by two art students, Dan Lissvik and Rasmus Hägg, in Gothenburg, Sweden. They have only recorded one album, West Coast, which has been unjustly overlooked.
The two Swedes seem to love herbaceous trance states, which they play themselves into in extremely long sessions. On the one hand, the songs, carried by guitar licks, are strongly orientated towards krautrock, but leave enough room for meandering rhythms, borrowings from new wave and meditative scenes. In better times, their songs would have been remixed and much better known.
