I'd like to introduce you to....Cobolt

Post by zhivago » Mon Apr 09, 2007 4:47 pm

Jonas will know of this band...I just found their page on myspace, and I thought I'd share it here.

I've been in love with their music for years and have all their records (apart from that split 7" they did - impossible to find)...they are up there in my top bands....

Cobolt.

guess who has a copy of that split 7" :P

if i had a record player, i could make an mp3 of it, but unfortunately the one i had broke about a year ago :(

but the split was with KVLR (friends of mine) and was released on Chalksounds (the label ellis used to be on, which was run by magnus, the drummer of KVLR), so i might be able to track down an mp3. although the song is just an early shaky version of "i thought you were someone else".

oh my god you have it!! :)

hehe....hmmm...well, if it's not worth finding that mp3, then it's cool I guess.


I've been having a turn back to vinyl lately, so I started trying to track down some of my fave cds...man...Cobolt stuff is almost impossible to find.

the only thing I can track down on vinyl is "Passoa"


it's just weird how much I like this band...and Logh....I'm insanely jealous of their music....it's almost frightening!!



I think if I lived in Sweden, I'd be in a band like that....probably with you, Jonas!!  ;D

if you like them Jon, you might also like a band called "Codeine"...they were on Sub Pop...recommended album by them is "The White birch"

yeah probably :)


i´m gonna try to dig up mp3s of the split 7" for you, or just find somone with a record player and a working sound card so i can make mp3s myself. i actually like the shaky version better, it has a more raw sound to it.
