backlash - Liberation

If you can lose yourself in electronic sounds and dreamy melodies you will just love the Swedish synthpop project backlash.

backlash was formed 1998 in Lidköping, Sweden by Oskar Lygner, Niklas Lundquist and Erik Torstensson. During the making of their first EP, Erik left the group to pursue another career.

In the fall of 2000, Malin Andersson joined the team adding some fresh new vocals to their sound. The album Impetus was released on Memento Materia on August 28th 2001 and was hugely acclaimed by the press. Impetus was nominated as best newcomer and album of 2001 at the Scandinavian Alternative Music Awards. The success of the album was followed by live shows in Scandinavia and Europe.

In the late autumn of 2002 Malin left the group as the sound moved on in another direction. As for the new backlash I'd recommend to listen to «Unconsciously Astray» from their '06 album release «Heliotrope». Also Malin loaned her voice once again on the track «The Wrench Of Parting».
