Tafra

Tafra, aka Niklas Tafra, Swede living in London, signed to everyone's favourite bedroom pop label Series Two Records makes cheesy, charming pop that oozes homemade tunes on a tray. Don't be afraid if you think you hear a cellphone interruption in Cheesy Epic View, that's just Tafra using a sound clip that becomes a rhythmic background comp. Oh, Daniel is covered in his wonderful mandolin playing. On I'm Sorry Bräkne-Hoby something that sounds like a distorted sucking noise is also turned into a rhythmic comp. After Tafra stops singing after a little more than two minutes the song goes on, gradually turning into a quite serious ambient noise track. Weird but loveable! You can buy his debut LP Why Even Bother? by mailing Series Two Records: seriestworecords@gmail.com. This is what it says on his myspace: "Full-length album out now! It can be purchased through Series Two Records by sending 13 USD paypal to Seriestworecords@gmail.com. It can also be ordered in Germany from Vollwert Records and in Taiwan from Smash Hits Production." Germany? Taiwan? This guy has got it all covered!
