FigurinesFigurines

Formed in the mid-90's by small town childhood friends, Figurines were already touring Northern Europe and Scandinavia extensively by the age of 20. On their second album Skeleton (2006), Figurines received massive international attention and they were sent out into the world on tours with Tapes' n Tapes, Cold War Kids and Kaiser Chiefs, touring North America three times. 2007 saw the international release of their third album, When The Deer Wore Blue, produced in cooperation with Chicago based Jeremy Lemos (Jim O'Rourke, Smog, Stereolab, and others). Even though, the three friends needed a break after touring this third album, Figurines soon managed to collect new impressions, they rediscovered the joy of making music and playing concerts. The result is their fourth, self-titled longplayer "Figurines". On a personal level it is a triumph. Musically the album reaches back to the power of Skeleton while remaining close to the more complex When The Deer Wore Blue. Figurines have managed to return to a point where the songs' structures, immediacy and extroversion are the focus. Pavement, Modest Mouse and Built To Spill were the early influences for Figurines (the boys) in their home town in rural Northern Denmark, where they were pretty much alone with their interest in that sound. From there they dug backwards and out internalizing the canonized pop and rock music of the Western world. Today Figurines (the band) are skilled and experienced musicians, almost veterans although barely reaching the end of their 20's, but also still growing and refiguring. On Figurines (the album) they've found a way to polish their songwriting in new ways: Sometimes accompanied by skillful yet playful instrumentation and breezy, inviting choruses. In other moments pulsating and popping with rock riffs, drive and soul. Songs like "New Color" with its shuffled beat sound like nothing ever heard of them before and turn this record into their definitely most mature one so far.
