Listen to the new album from Sweden's Mando Diao, 'Give Me Fire!', on ClashMusic now.
Recorded with a pair of brothers who can claim to have been Sweden's hip hop dons back in the 90s in the group The Latin Kings. Mando Diao all being massive hip hop fans, their meeting with the Salazar brothers growing from a quest for an autograph into first one, then a whole album of songs.
As to the album's title, the band's Gustaf explains, “The title is a Swedish slang phrase. 'Eld' is 'fire', as in the kick you get out of drugs or alcohol – it translates as 'I want some spark in my life'. That track is about a friend of ours who was hooked on drugs. We decided to take his side of the argument on drugs – we looked at it from the perspective that this is an urge that everyone in the world has. Whether it's cigarettes or coffee or exercise or ecstasy, everyone in the world wants to get high off of something. That bled through into the whole album.”
With that in mind, and teamed with the Salazar's production, 'Give Me Fire!' is the band's strongest album yet, a blazing garage rock soul revue from the fjords.

Nowadays it is really rare that a band makes every album different...Most bands sound the same in every album, but not Mando!
They have a really unique style in every album!

"everyone in the world wants to get high off of something"
Right!Right!Right! and this record seems to be the perfect drug for me, myself and I
I'm lovin' the guys and their music. It's hard to say which album I like most but "Give me fire" is as good (The greatest understatement of the century!!) as all the others. The songs make me wanna sing and dance and keep me smiling every minute.
It feels so good to hear real music. When I'm in a bad mood I press play on the record and think of all the good moments especially the ones of the concerts...that makes me defnitely feel better and happier. =)
AND one shouldn't forget about the wonderful video of each song. The one of "Gloria" is so gorgeous (and the guys are extremely hot to look at^^)!

Talking of addictions, Mando
Talking of addictions, Mando Diao has become a new one for me, and a very strong one too. The Give Me Fire album exceeds all expectations, though none of their albums was a let down. You can feel the vibe, the energy, the hypnotizing power from the first till the last track. They capture you the moment you start listening and stay with you forever.

It´s hard to understand how Mando Diao can make so many great albums without repeating themselves. Every album is new and fresh, but the Mando-sound is still there. I love it!
"Everyone in the world wants
"Everyone in the world wants to get high off something"
For me the music of Mando Diao is really an addiction. Once you've listened to their songs you can't get them out of your head.
Give Me Fire sounds different compared to their previous albums but in my opinion it's really their strongest album!

Totally amazing! I really
Totally amazing!
I really love this album, like all the previous albums of this fantastic band! Every song is brilliant and unique in its own way. Like Mando Diao stated the music could be compared to a soundtrack. While listening to the different melodies - either fast and energetic or calmer - you get the impression of following a storyline, which is pretty amazing.
Anyone who wants to discover good music and doesn't know these Swedish geniuses yet should buy this album - and the other four, as well! ;-)
