Mobile Homes album postponed to February October 31, 2008 | By: Mikael Kahrle (Gothenburg, Sweden)
Mobile Homes' new album "Today Is Your Lucky Day", produced by Kent's Sami Sirviö, has been postponed to February when the Stockholm pop band celebrates 25 years. However, the single "Phoning a Friend and He Says That..." will be released in two weeks, on November 15. We got the song yesterday and It's a calm affair where vocalist Hasse Erkendahl is joined by his daughter Isabelle (West End Girls). He tells us the whole album is quite slow and melancholic and the band wants to go back to their roots this time around. Mobile Homes celebrates their new single and perform live at Club Ultrafoxx in Stockholm on the release day.
