PRINCIPE VALIENTE - OCEANS [LIMITED RED] LP

YOUTUBE ►

Re-print of the long sold out album from 2017 in a new edition on RED Vinyl and incl. printed inner Sleeve! Principe Valiente is a Swedish band based in Stockholm. Their sound may partly be the result of a variety of elements inspired by the minimalism of certain post-punk acts and the lushness of shoe- gazing, but their music has frequently been labelled "dark pop".

After the release of their debut (2011) and the sophomore ”Choirs of Blessed Youth” (2014) – both on German label AFMusic - Principe Valiente ventured deeper into the sonic landscapes of their minds. Drawing inspiration from ambient experimentalists like Cocteau Twins, 80’s sci-fi sound- tracks as well as exuberant vocalists like Bowie and Kate Bush.

With their third album "Oceans" mixed by Jimmy Ottosson, the band has created another alluring world with human-all-too-human lyrics and phantasmal soundscapes. Cool and dreamy, yet im- passioned and loaded with sweet anxiety. Partly recorded by producer Martin Ehrencrona (Les Big Byrd), and partly in various basements and art school lobbies around their hometown Stock- holm, Sweden.
