Debaser Slussen release party 2007



Sågad ...

-Magnus Eriksson, Lira Musikmagasinet

”Malmquist själv sjunger som en kratta, nasalt, sluddrigt och gnälligt. Melodierna är embryonala och texterna pendlar mellan tafatta Leonard Cohen-åtbörder i en gottköpsmässig molnmetaforik och sentimentala betraktelser om förhållandet mellan far och son. Det är inte bra.”

-Sara Axelsson, Metica

”Det måste finnas mer än bara smärta och halvdana country-arrangemang för att det ska bli intressant för andra än Tom Malmquist själv. Och sången är så nasal och gnällig att självaste trumpetsmurfen skulle vara avundsjuk. Låtarna är minst sagt halvdana. 'Fish in a Tear' känns som att höra någon annans barn yla på bussen, helt enkelt svår att engagera sig i.”

... och rosad

-Per Bjurman, Aftonbladet

”Sensationellt helgjuten, Svensk debut. Tom Malmquist lyckas hitta en helt egen fåra i en rotrocktradition där de flesta unga män går vilse bland klichéerna. Han har dessutom skrivit en bunt sällsamt ”färdiga” sånger och berör på djupet med såväl sin originella röst som sina texter.”

- Stefan Wermelin, P4 Wermelin

”Äntligen mina damer och herrer. Det här har jag längtat efter.”

-Mats Olsson, Expressen

”Missa inte!”

-Sabina von Greyerz, Rootsy

"Årets svenska debut"

-Jan Gradvall, DI

”Ett genuint originellt album ... Tom Malmquist grubblande sånger låter som de är framtäljda med kniv i en övergiven svensk sommarstuga.”

- Ralph Bretzer, Skånskan,

”Årets bästa svenska americanaplatta.”

- Marie Björk, Gefle Dagblad

” Wow, det här är en av de bästa debutplattor jag hört på länge.”

- Björn Stefanson, Värmlands Folkblad

”En skiva du måste ha om du är intresserad av genren.”

-Stacey Shackford, It’s a trap

“I love everything about Tom Malmquist [...] He sounds like a quirky young Tom Waits. Except happier. It's celebratory country, of the most comforting variety.”

Biography

In 1988 at the tender age of nine Tom Malmquist scored three goals in nine seconds in a boy’s ice hockey game. A hard to beat record that still stands.

The very same year he spends a vacation in Fort Lauderdale with his father. Tom’s main ambition in life is to become a guitar player. His father, who at the time was the head of the sports department at one of Scandinavia’s largest evening papers, has other plans. Tom is to be a professional hockey player. The trip to Florida something of a bribe. No more guitar playing…

It’s the coldest winter in Florida in centuries. American TV channels reports about spoiled orange harvests and despondent cultivators. There’s even frost on the otherwise roasting hot beaches.

A day just before Christmas Toms father takes him for breakfast at a café near their hotel. On his way to the café Tom sees a street musician, who has been sleeping outside the café, quietly wrapping her jacket around her guitar, strangely, almost as if the guitar was feeling cold. Tom makes up his mind.

Tom’s hockey career is over. In January 2007 he summarized his views of the world of hockey in his poetry debut ”Sudden Death” – ice hockey-poetry which received excellent reviews. At the same time his EP ”Two In The Morning” was released – to rave reviews.

Since then Tom has been working on his full length debut CD with co producers Andy Gustafsson and Sophie Rimheden, Sweden’s electronica queen (who’s also mixed the album). Rootsy country music embedded in soundscapes. Like eleven strangely familiar postcards from a place you’ve never been ...

Among the guest musicians The Cardigans bass player Magnus Svenningson.
