Bellman's brother - history
It started when Johan borrowed a synth in 1989. Lars soon joined to
help
with the lyrics and vocals. A lot of songs were released on cassette.
Inspiration
come from the complete electronic music stage - favorites were Yazoo
and
Front 242. The goal has been to make catchy songs in an interesting
sound
environment. In the beginning the sound was defined as EBM, but it
softened
during the years. Now the sound is back to a more EBM style. Between
1995
and 1996 Snusan added her voice to the music. A few songs were recorded
-
all can be found on various compilation CDs. Those songs have also been
redesigned
into some kind of industrial pop with sound references to Björk
and
Aphex Twin.
The speed of music production has been very slow for a lot of years due
to stuff like getting a grown up life. Now it looks like there is more
time available again, which will lead to a lot of new hits from Kjells
mek verkstad and the release of "Blue shift" during the last days of
2010. There is a small plan to rerecord Blue shift with female vocals,
which would start up during 2011, but only the future knows what it
will bring.
