Sugar (Uk) [LP]

After almost a decade-long hiatus, cult 6-piece Mfmb announced their return with the long-awaited album - Sugar. The followup to 2012's critically-acclaimed "Colossus", "Sugar" revives the dark and driven alt-rock the Swedes made their name with -equal parts rigor and finesse, wracked with nervous tension. This time around, however, a democratic approach to the writing process was decided on, with each member contributing equally to the sound and feel of the record. The result is unmistakably the sound of Mfmb, but reinvented for these tempestuous times. The making of the album is a story in itself. "Sugar" is seven years in the making. It has been a bumpy ride. They were not always the best of friends. Priorities changed. Members quit, then joined again. It was never easy. We believe you can hear it on the album, how every song is a result of differing opinions fighting it out until they landed. In the end, it's Mfmb, but ringing purer than ever before. Mfmb have remained prolific throughout their hiatus, which includes Joakim Lindberg becoming one of the underground scene's most in-demand producers, working with the likes of Hey Elbow, Spunsugar, This Is Head, and many more.
