Last year, Stockholm-based JOVM mainstays Club 8 — Karolina Komstedt (vocals) and electronic music producer, artist and Labrador Records founder and label boss Johan Angergård — released their 11th album, A Year With Club 8, which featured the Joy Division/New Order-meets-The Raveonettes-like “Something’s Wrong With My Head,” a woozily blissful and escapist song that continued a run of material dabbling in 80s New Wave nostalgia.
The duo have been busy, releasing a single every month throughout the course of this year. including “ooo,” “None Of This Will Matter When You’re Dead” and “Staying Alive,” which I wrote about on this site.
The duo’s latest single “Born The Wrong Time” is a slow-burning and dreamy track that reminds me a bit of a lush synthesis of JOVM mainstays Still Corners, The Sundays and Souvlaki-era Slowdive paired with Konstedt’s yearning vocal, nostalgic longing for a seemingly simpler time.
