Vacuum continued
The new single "Starting (Where the Story Ended)" has had some well deserved air play on Swedish radio and hopefully the upcoming album will push Vacuum up a notch on the popularity ladder.
- We've grown as a band since our debut. We have new ideas about our sound as neither Marina nor I like to repeat ourselves. To be honest, we don't really know what the album will sound like, but we will focus on releasing a couple of really strong singles, one of which is "Starting", Lindblom says.
As some of you may know, former Army of Lovers member Alexander Bard was part of Vacuum in the beginning, but he has now left the band. The creation process of Vacuum songs is now more spontaneous, according to Mattias.
- Wollbeck and I wrote "Starting" in the car on the way to a Slipknot concert, he says. We spend time every day writing the music in our studio and with Vacuum it's usually a speedy process. As Vacuum is about everything we love in music, we can tell fairly quickly if what we've come up with holds water. When the music is written, Marina comes in to help write the lyrics and from there on we work all three on the vocals and occasional live instruments, he concludes.
Vacuum version 2002 may very well conquer the world as their ambition with the band states. /Niklas Forsberg
