Stockholm, Sweden (1995 – present)
Club 8 are a indie pop duo from Stockholm, Sweden consisting of Karolina Komstedt (from the band Poprace) and Johan Angergård (Acid House Kings, The Legends, Poprace).
Formed in 1995, they were immediately signed to the Spanish record label Siesta. They released a single called Me Too and an album called Nouvelle on Siesta before deciding to move on to other labels. The sound at this point could almost be categorised as anorak pop with influences from Sarah bands, Jim Ruiz and The Smiths.
In 1998/1999, their 2nd album The Friend I Once Had and the single
Missing You was released. Missing You become a club and indie-radio hit in Spain and somewhat of a college radio fave in the US. The band started playing live. Their first gig was in New York at a March Records CMJ event in 1999. Their sound had by now developed into a more bossa nova and dance oriented one.
Striving for constant change and improvements the band once again changed musical direction on their 3rd and self titled album in 2001. Club 8 is a beautifully laidback album. Almost a chill out album, though it was more compared to Portishead and Air and called a Trip-hop album at its release.
In the autumn of 2001, the band locked themselves in the famous Summersound Studios; writing songs and experimenting with different sounds. Dub, C-86, triphop, chill out, 80’s and bossa nova are all mixed up here, but without ever losing focus on those wonderfully Scandinavian and melancholic pop melodies. The album was named Spring Came, Rain Fell and was released in the year of 2002.

真的非常喜欢<十二月之爱>这首歌,我觉得女声很冰冷易脆,非常之清醇动听...其他的一些作品也不错,那首<在清晨>让我不得不赞叹男声也是相当不错的,真是卧虎藏龙啊~可人的音乐,适合冬天慢慢的品味,这歌我已经听了有三四年了,每年都冬天听,我就是十二月生的呢~缘分啊~
