Bio
Light Screamer is psychedelic noise punk from Örebro, Sweden
Formed in 2011 by Ida
Andersson-Norrie, Jens Hellman, Peter Lindström and Tobias Eriksson,
Light Screamer made their live debut at the Live at Heart festival in
Örebro the same year. In March 2013, Light Screamer played three
highly acclaimed shows during the SXSW festival in Austin, TX, which
resulted in a record deal with local indie label Australian Cattle
God Records. Their debut album "Gauss" was released later
that year. The album was produced by Light Screamer and mastered by
Paul Leary (Butthole Surfers) at Preacher Mon, Austin, TX, and
consists of 40 minutes of continuous music.
"I'm completely
sold" (8/10) – Lukinzine.se
"It
just continues to grow" (8/10) - ÖrebroStad.se
Paul Leary (Butthole
Surfers), on working on "Gauss":
"I remember the
day I discovered little chili peppers growing in my yard. The peppers
looked like little red gum balls, so I ate one and it made me cry.
Then I rubbed my eyes, and the chili was in my eyes. Just when it
couldn't get worse, I went to pee and got it on my wiener. I still
like chili peppers."
In 2014 Light Screamer
returned to Austin for two shows, one of which was said to be the
best show at SXSW.
"Yeah, go see
them if you can, they are freakin' awesome live!" -Kevin
Triplett (Director of the music documentary "Blaze Foley: Duct
Tape Messiah")
In September 2014,
Nominata Records released Light Screamer's 7" vinyl, "BFJ",
which features the title track "BFJ" by Light Screamer and
a cover of "Sugary", written by legendary Austin noise
rockers Cherubs. The vinyl is hand-numbered with all unique and
reused covers, limited to 300 copies. The songs were recorded more or
less live by Jason Morales in his analog studio The BBQ Shack in
Austin, TX in March 2013.
"As
uncompromisingly good as always" (8/10) - ÖrebroStad.se
The critically
acclaimed Light Screamer have also managed to gain the respect of the
musicians that they themselves are influenced by.
"I can't figure
out how music works these days, but if this album had come out in the
80's when I was collecting records, and I, of course, didn't know who
the hell [Light Screamer] were, I'm pretty sure I would still have
this record in my collection." -Brett Bradford (Scratch
Acid)
"Killer band"
-John Hawkins (Crust)
