Hit The Waves (Labrador) is the new album from the Mary Onettes. It’s the long-awaited third full-length from the Gothenburg, Sweden, quartet, and it largely abandons the soaring pop that was the band’s hallmark on its 2007 self-titled debut and 2009’s Islands. Those albums earned the quartet comparisons to the Cure and Echo & The Bunnymen, although polished with a modern synth-pop sheen. Hit The Waves draws likewise from the ’80s, but instead of tuneful post-punk, it deliberately echoes some less trendy sources. The Mary Onettes—brothers Philip and Henrik Ekström, Petter Agurén and Simon Fransson—will be guest editing magnet magazine.co all week. Read our brand new feature on them.
Petter Agurén: I have a deep interest in cooking and find it fascinating that restaurants and chefs make such a deep impact on people. Anthony Bourdain is one of my favorites in this line of work, the Nikki Sixx of haute cuisine. I love his passion for food and how he travels the world to find people and places that share his interest of flavors and the emotions that come with a great meal.
