Said about "For Tomorrow"
Melodic.net, by Tom Spinelli
"It’s been 4 years since Emerald Park's debut album Sadness Within, but with that amount of time spent on the new record you know it may be something worth while. A nice flow of catchy tune sparkles on this album of pop rock tunes. The indie sound is what is mostly intriguing about this group. The Commonfield and Pasadena combine sound from bands like Arcade Fire, The Cure (older stuff) mixed with sound from bands like Death Cab for Cutie and sometimes that new wave feel of New Order. The first single released from the album A Higher Loss, already is catching an audience. The album was produced by Moonbabies multi instrumentalist Ola Frick, for an easy listening experience.
The female vocals in The Commonfield add the ambience and creativity to the mix of the songs giving it more of an indie feel. The bands mixture of the two vocals intertwined create a delicate landscape for the indie scene. Lights of Sunday has the be the most standout track on the album as it glees with acoustic rock passion and solid production for the mainstream. This is a track you can hear in a movie scene or credits. The ambient constant drums hits in the background make the chills run down your spine on this track.
The depths combined with the atmospheric airiness will be quite a treat to first time listeners. It's the old new wave sound intigrated with the new modern indie rock music on the album that really is a fresh approach. The female voclas placed perfectly within the male vocals that are a plus on the almost slow dance-like beats based on influences from the classic bands. This new album full of 12 new songs should open up a whole new audience to this band immensely. Give this album a shot as its easy listening will capture you with the first of many listens.

"Champagne at Emerald Park...
Two very interesting new releases by two Scandinavian artists have been spinning merrily in the office today. Sophomore album For Tomorrow by Sweden’s Emerald Park has been on the radar for quite some time now, and it will finally be released November 14 by small German web label afmusic. Ever since I featured the band for the first time back in September last year, a constant stream of fine new demo recordings and mixes of older tracks have been floating our way, which for my part helped to increase the expectations. Expectations are always difficult to deal with, but For Tomorrow just doesn’t leave any room for disappointments, as the album’s 12 catchy and well-produced (by Ola of Moonbabies) pop songs gives us far more than we could realistically hope for.
+ Pasadena
+ Lights of Sunday
+ The Commonfield (thanks to Tobias this will be up for the next 48 hours)"

KB och Releasefest
Fredagen den 7 november spelar vi på anrika KB igen. Denna gång som support till amerikanska "Throw in the statue" som ligger på "Secretly Canadian".
Veckan efter det är det releasefest på "Nya Tröls Bar" vid Karlskronaplan i Malmö. Skivan säljs billigt och första timmen bjuder vi på tilltugg. "Tiny Tony Tears" är DJ under kvällen. I vanliga fall brukar man höra hans musik på Tempo och Bodoni.
Vi har bjudit in två av våra favoritband "WE:DUO" och "Swedish for Beginners". We:Duo är precis som namnet antyder en duo med två medlemmar från Matadors.
"Swedish for Beginners" reser ner hit från Göteborg. Gå in på www.myspace.com/swedishforbeginners och lyssna. Underbar pop utlovas.
