Ten years ago, while normal people were presumably doing normal things like having jobs or recovering from minor illnesses in a reasonable timeframe, Åskar and Sibille were unemployed and congested, respectively. This is apparently the ideal creative condition for Swedish musicians, though one suspects it’s also the ideal creative condition for Swedish musicians any day ending in ‘y.’
Together they created “No Lecture” - Sibille singing directly into her MacBook mic from her apartment while Åskar sat in his kitchen, presumably getting stoned, sending files back and forth until suddenly they had a song. It’s the kind of casual creative process that either produces genius or complete garbage, and apparently they spent a decade figuring out which one they’d made.
The track captures, they say, the feeling of being suspended between “futurelessness and reality,” which sounds exhausting but appears to be the natural state of anyone who creates dance music they have no intention of focusing on. Sibille, busy with her solo career, treated this electronic detour as a pleasant accident, while Åskar has since departed the creative/cultural space entirely for what one assumes are more reliable pursuits - possibly ones that don’t involve kitchen-based cannabis consumption and file sharing.
That they waited a decade to properly release this song suggests either extraordinary patience or the dawning realization that perhaps some accidents are worth sharing after all.
