Cake on cake is a bizarre charming orchestra comprised of one woman, Helena Sundin. Helena grew up in a small sixty person village Sweden and currently lives in Umeå, Sweden where she attends art-school. Born into a family of musicians, Helena became classically trained in a variety of instruments and has a passion for learning many strange instruments and integrating them into her music. As a result, even though Cake on Cake is a solo-project, it seems as though there is a small orchestra playing on her songs. Combining stunning harmonies with instruments such as the metallophone, xylophone, piano, organ, keyboard, guitar, mandolin, flutes, harmonicas, melodica, and various percussive and electronics instruments. Cake on Cake’s Debut album is available now through Desolation Records.
The Brute Choir,can perhaps be described as the perefct combination between shout-pop and the post folk tradition. The act which will be performing as a duo, have recieved comparissions to such artists as Will Oldham, and The Magnetic Fields. The Brute Choir's songs are filled with tales of love, death and leaving, and bring a great intensity and sadness to the table. The Brute Choir will be releasing their debut album on Desolation Records in 2006.
Locals, Eisenhower Highway will also be joining the bill.
