If you’re at all familiar with Swedish pop music, you’ll no doubt already know that it’s quite infectious. Garmisch is no different. Well over a year in the making, the self-titled “Garmisch” album captures much of what made both of their previous EPs so special and manages to add to that more polished production and mastering. If you’re familiar with Garmisch’ previous work, you’re guaranteed to thoroughly enjoy it. If you’re new to Garmisch, this is the perfect place to introduce yourself to their sound.

Here’s a little background about Garmisch. They’re a band from Malmö, Sweden who’ve been together for about six years now. They’ve previously released two EPs on the Swedish netlabel “Go, Jukebox!” and have been doing live shows, on and off, in the Malmö region. From the start, they’ve put together a mixture of influences and ideas, however, they’re still trying to find their intended style; they have no intensions about ever really doing so. They collect their music and things at The Garmisch Collection, located at garmisch.se. There’s five of them in the band, mostly good people — Stefan Bodetoft, Charlotte Fagerlund, Charlotte Lundgren, Birgitta Persson & Patrik Svensson. Their influences are as far-ranging as to include Curtis Mayfield, Pink Floyd, D’Angelo, Massive Attack, Gary Numan, The Stooges, Portishead, Emmylou Harris & Wu-Tang Clan.
