• Album Description • Current Biography • Liner Notes
It’s been three years since everybody’s favourite Scandinavian Soulrockbrother Anders Wendin, better known to the music world as Moneybrother, last beguiled the indie crowd with an album. “To Die Alone” not only was a big success in his native Sweden (entered #1 in the official sales chart) but also in Germany, where the ten song strong collection did sensationally well, made the official album Top 40 and peaked at # 37.
August, the 22nd sees the release of his new effort “Mount Pleasure” on Burning Heart Records (Scandinavia Only)
Musically, the influence of Anders’ recent favourites like Westcoast rock legends Jackson Browne and Randy Newman can be felt throughout the ten new songs on “Mount Pleasure”, which Moneybrother himself calls a “proper rock’n’roll album”. “On the last album there was one theme: it was about love and loss. It was a very dark and slow album, this time it’s more influenced by a period in my live that was filled with partying and hanging out with friends”, he explains.
The sympathetic Scandinavian borrowed the tile of the album from an existing hill: “I was travelling in the Caribbean and came to this very small island called Bequia, where only like four thousand people live. In the middle of the island there was a huge mountain and one day I took my bicycle and rode to the top. The island was only inhabited by Rastafarians, black guys with dreadlocks, but up there were only white guys – but who still walked and acted and talked like the Rastafarians. They looked like pirates with tattoos and bandanas. I was fascinated because these guys had been living there for the last few hundred years keeping to themselves. I couldn’t believe it. It was fantastic. And it looked like these guys had been struggling a long time to live their live exactly the way they want to live it. I thought that this was amazing I decided to call the album ‘Mount Pleasure’ because that was the name of the mountain.”
The album was produced by Pelle Gunnarfeldt (Hives, The Robocop Kraus, The (International) Noise Conspiracy u.a.) and Henrik Svensson, a former member of the Moneybrother live band. The recordings took place in the new “Polar studios”, a converted dance palace in Stockholm. The approach for the sessions was totally different than it had been for the previous albums: “With ‘Blood Panic’ and ‘To Die Alone’ I made all the songs and than I went into the studio with musicians, who had never heard them before. I played the tracks on an acoustic guitar and than we started to record. I wanted to capture the first impression of the musician of the songs on tape. But this time it had to be different. I wanted the musicians to play the songs dozens of times so they no longer had them in their fingers but in their hearts and so they could play them from their hearts. We did a huge amount of rehearsal before we went into the studio and I used the same musicians on all the tracks of the album. That’s something I never did before. It makes the album sound much tighter and spontaneous even although it is really not.”
The new album is the third “international” offering from the charismatic artist, whose massive popularity is partly due to his incredible stage presence and his unforgettably vivid live shows. The first Moneybrother-Album in English arrived in 2003, titled “Blood Panic”, two years “To Die Alone” (2005) followed. 2006 saw the release of „Pengabrorsan“, an album in Swedish only available in Scandinavia. Before going solo as Moneybrother, Wendin was singer and frontman in the bands Superwed and Monster.
