Raymond & Maria - No One Notices Your Brand New T-shirt (official music video)

Raymond&Maria is a slightly shy band from Stockholm Sweden that to their own surprise experienced great success back home.
This is their story:

"After a year in a basement trying to figure out our complicated borrowed recording-equipment, we made
30 copies of our first single "No one notices your brand new T-shirt" (in Swedish "Ingen vill veta var du köpt din tröja") and sent them to people we liked. Then everything went crazy. Within two weeks it was number one in all the Swedish charts and after another two it had sold platinum. We also won a Swedish grammy. If we weren't us we'd like to be a mix between Simon&Garfunkel, The Smiths, Dylan
and ABBA. Our sound is basic and simple. Two girls singing, two acoustic guitars and drums. Bass when needed. Our lyrics are - you could say - political on an individual level."

Raymond&Maria and producer James Iha:
A year ago James Iha -- former Smashing Pumpkins
guitarist - came across a demo with our new songs
and sent us an e-mail telling us ha wanted to produce
our next album. A truly amazing thing for us since
he's one of our all time favorite guitar players (and a
very nice uy as it turned out). In December of last year, we recorded three new songs in his studio Stratosphere in New York , and this spring he came over to our favourite Scandinavian studio -- Ocean Sound in Giske, Norway -- to record six more. Now -- we've just returned from the final session in New York with a finished album.

I looked up your video after viewing a photo taken of you by the photographer of "Staffan's English Blog. I wanted to hear the voice of the girl in the photo. You should invite him to take more photos of you, great advertisement.

Mycket bättre på svenska. Förstår att de vill bli internationella, men det här känns bara påklistrat :(

A for Anarchy?

Great song, exquisitely morbid and funny lyrics. The Swedish version is of course way better. But then when you've read the translation, why would you need the English version anyway?

[snaitaz]

pretty sound!

Congratulations from PORTUGAL

and thanks @criznittles, really good playlists ;D

Except it makes very little sense to anyone that doesn't understand swedish... Then again, this translation is pretty weird... Pretty hard to translate a text with accuracy and make it fit with the song...

[toph1980]

[goodkinghenry]
