Ladies and Gentleman, FIGURINES are back. And finally made the album that they were always meant to make. PAVEMENT, MODEST MOUSE and BUILT TO SPILL were the early influences for FIGURINES 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 are skilled and experienced musicians, almost veterans although barely reaching the end of their 20's, but also still growing and refiguring and on "Figurines" they've found a way to polish their songwriting in new ways. The opening track on "Figurines", "Hanging From Above", sets the tone, with its skillful yet playful instrumentation and breezy, inviting chorus. From there "The Great Unknown" pulsates and pops with rock riffs, drive and soul. "New Colours", with its shuffled beat is nothing you've heard from FIGURINES before. And Christian Hjelm shows a new fervor on "We Got Away" and "Call Your Name". The album already has a special place in the band's heart. Never before have they worked so closely together throughout the process and controlling everything from the first mood of the recording to the finished master. "Figurines" is an important album for them. They've pulled eleven beads up on a string and hope that new and old fans will enjoy them.

Also available: FIGURINES (LP).
