O’Spada ‘Time’
The new single released 30th November 2009 on Make Mine
O’Spada was formed in Stockholm 2006 by five individuals with a varied background in music and forged a clash between soul and funk meeting hip-hop and rock, creating their own unique sound. They gradually earned a reputation mainly through MySpace and their vivid live performances, handing them a record deal at Despotz Records in 2008. Since then, O’Spada have spent early 2009 recording the as yet untitled debut album, and the first track to leak onto the internet during the summer was this track “Time”. It finally gets its first release proper and will be released both digitally and as a limited 7-inch, and features some very interesting remixes.
More great singles and an album will follow later this year. Here are some first responses to their assault on the world;
“Was this track made in 1984? Did we just discover it as an unmarked white label mixed in with our tio’s old freestyle vinyl collection? This is the only single they have so far and it’s a killer. We have a rollerdisco date soon, we need more, Swedes!”
The FADER
“Synthy like Passion Pit, rhythmically fractured like Hot Chip, and poppy without remorse.”
