Emerald Park are an indie-pop band from Malmo, Sweden. They stand for frenzied Indie Rock, poppish and very happy music. This CD is like living in a pink dream, guided by Kermitt The Frogg and its friends. "Reality bites" is a lie, it sure does work! "Never say never again" starts with a tune that sounds like the annoying Spotify ad, but the banjo works fine. Sweet music, with from time to time funny lyrics, very well balanced studio work. And in the end I must say it is reminiscent of The Thindersticks, which is an compliment! Keep up the work & don't forget to bring us a hit!

Released 30 March 2012
Artwork by Jens Leeb-Lundberg based on an idea by Per Brunskog

Check the band on Bandcamp or Facebook.

This album isn’t about bashing religion and faith. That would be a pretty cheap trick.

We were able to secure the support slot for Front 242. Everything was looking positive until Bas’s cancer reemerged and there were complications.
