Single Of The Month (Year?) - We're From Barcelona Na-Na-Na!


You loved Arcade Fire in 2005, you liked Vetiver this year, so, next year in the US, you will enjoy I’m From Barcelona.
Named after Fawlty Towers' Manuel (he's from Barcelona, si?), and formed in Jonkoping, Sweden by Emanuel Lundgren, I'm From Barcelona are 29 (!) friends who gathered together and, fuelled with the energy that only a sunny summer holiday can bring, created an album of explosively happy pop songs, Let Me Introduce My Friends who will be released in the US March 6 2007 by
Mute US! Read more on Pitchfork.
First single, We’re From Barcelona, has a chorus it's impossible not to sing along with and a fantastic video that has already clocked up over 150,000 hits on YouTube and is gathering more and more converts to the "biggest" band in Sweden's party.
