Tvärvägen gets lots of well deserved love in the latest issue of VICE.
The album got a great review AND was entitled “the best cover of the month”. Henrik truly is a star! (And his cool girlfriend does a great job too, that picture really is amazing. So glad we chose it for the cover.)

“Believes” heter 7”-singeln från Malmös finaste lo-fi romantiker YAST.
Singeln såg dagens ljus 6 februari i år, det fina omslaget lät tala om sig, alla dagdrömmande shoegazefantaster hittade något nytt att hänga fast vid. Därefter har YAST fått ett uppslag i Sonic, “Believes” fick en A-rotation på Gimme Indie och klättrade in på en fin placering på Studentradiolistan. Snart släpps remixer från bl.a. Simian Ghost och Sail A Whale. Nöjesguiden i Malmö/Lund nominerade bandet till Årets Musik 2011 och listan på kommande spelningar går i takt med att snön smälter och soltimmarna blir fler.
Kommande spelningar:

“…potentialen hos stans nya drömrockslöfte går inte att ta miste på” Nominerade till Årets musik 2011 av Nöjesguiden Malmö
“One of the best tracks we’ve heard this year so far, a strong contender for your top list of 2012. Hare Tracks and Double Sun, a new sub-label to Malmoe-based Adrian Recordings, will release a 7” on February 6. Love” Tommy Ericsson – Gimme Indie
“ett av 2012 års redan helt klart mest spännande band!” -PSL
“En flytt till Malmö, tre EP:s, några få livespelningar och ett par medlemsbyten senare är de fortfarande en av Malmös bäst bevarade rockhemligheter. Bandet rör sig lite på samma solbrända gräsplätt som The War on Drugs, Pavement och Byrds.” -PSL
“The song itself would have been the perfect, euphoric dream-pop companion for a carefree three months of sunshine and lack of stress, only a) I didn’t experience that kind of summer and b) I never had this song by my side. Such is life. Until next year.” -Music Fans Mic
Paradise, that’s what grandfather named the meadows below Sven-the-hook. Now they’re overgrown with brushwood, but in the past lay the wheat fields that plunged all the way down to the creek. On the other side of the creek rose Hemberget over to which the old village road used to slither its way towards Norrfors, while to the west you could see Mora with its wonderful green pastures. You could see the vast landscape open up from Paradise, blinded by the sun, embedded in its safe embrace. That’s how Tvärvägen sounds. Like the memory of that hidden Paradise. The naked sound is undeniably close. Each instrument appears to be an old sturdy pine, as if you could dare to lean and rest against the rough surface. Each melody comes to you as the wind that touches the oat straw, natural and remarkable, while the harmonies glide like paper planes.
“Staring directly into the sun” is Tvärvägens second album.
Contact Hare Tracks for interviews or more info about the band on haretracks (at) gmail.com
Don’t miss the release party at El Mundo on the 28th, Tvärvägen will play live at 8 pm!
Today is the day! Finally the release day for BELIEVES 7” has come. You can now listen to the song on digital platforms like Spotify and buy your own copy in any record shop.
The releaseparty in Malmö at Studio Möllan this weekend was amazing, here’s YAST’s cover of “Ragnar” by Mattias Alkberg, magic!
