Kool FM (Container remix)

My friend's got a name
Her parents called her sorrow
Her brother called her pain
Her sister deemed her shame

My heart's gotta name
I call it sweet tomorrow
She's found it's cave again
Where she'll take shelter from the rain

And these thorn rose bushes keep on
Rustlin outside sweet tomorrow
I find it kind of eerie
That the eyes look like Sorrow's
And when the star of venus stared right through me
I found that weakness, is the beauty
The beauty within pain

My love, she's gotta name
I can't afford to tell you
Or they'll lock me up again
And that's a whole nother kind of pain

But my heart has gotta name
It changes with the seasons
That change with my brain
Let's sing the chorus once again


These thorn rose bushes keep on
Rustlin outside sweet tomorrow
I find it kind of eerie
That the eyes look like Sorrow's
And when the star of venus stared right through me
I found that weakness, is the beauty
The beauty within pain

The Norwegian 9-piece return to the fray with the stunning “One Armed Bandit,” taken from their forthcoming album of the same name. All galloping rhythms, arpeggiated harpsichord and grandiloquent reach, main man Lars Horntveth describes the new sound, tongue-a-little-in-cheek, as “Wagner meets Fela Kuti!” Certainly we find it harder to imagine a better soundtrack being written for the first Nollywood viking epic.

Jaga Jazzist have become something of a musical phenomenon in Norway since they started 15 years ago. Not only is this 9 piece instrumental band regarded as one of the most exciting and innovative in Norway, the members are all involved in other musical projects and have in one way or another contributed to almost every significant recording to come out of that part of the world in the last few years. Their albums sell 20,000+ in Norway and huge crowds come to their shows. Their international acclaim is signalled by the fact that the new album was mixed in chicago by John McEntire of Tortoise.

Technically accomplished musicians, with a wide-ranging and eccentric taste, making music which is as humorous as it is exhilarating, Jaga Jazzist are a slot machine that keeps on paying up. Give it a pull and see what comes out.

Jaga Jazzist are to support Efterklang at the Barbican in London on 28th October. To celebrate they release a free radio edit of “One-Armed Bandit” on this day via ninjatune.net/jagajazzist and there will also be 600 download cards at the event.
A 2010 tour is soon to be announced. To hear the full length version of the single please contact Ninja Tune.

The album, also called “One Armed Bandit” is out Jan 25th

Just a work in progress so far, there are a few things I need to fix and mess about with but I thought I'd upload anyhow and get some feedback.
