About Me

Efter en lång tids paus ifrån musiken började Fredrik Anjou känna ett behov av att skriva låtar igen. När han tog upp gitarren igen och skulle plugga in den i Marshallstärkaren tvekade han. Han kände behov av ett annat uttryck, ett nytt perspektiv på musik, han letade upp Sjuan, en gammal akustisk gitarr. Fredrik stängde in sig i sovrummet och kom ut med 28 låtar, han förstod långsamt att det var början på något, en ny riktning i sitt musikaliska liv. När han kastat Jack Daniels flaska och ersatt den med en olaglig Absint markerade han inte bara en ny vana utan också en ny väg för honom att gå. Hatten krönte denna handelsresande i svarta historier från svunna sekel när han gick längre nedåt vägen.

Allt började i trakterna av den lilla kuststaden Norrtelje i hjärtat av Roslagen. Det här området har genom århundraden präglats av sjöfart och hemkomna människor som berättade om sina upplevelser ifrån den stora världen. Det fanns åtskilliga historier och myter som florerade i bygderna. En oktoberkväll tog Fredrik en genväg genom den gränd där Nils Ferlin brukade vingla fram. Han blickade ut över den gamla stadskärnan och tänkte på ryssen som brände och härjade i staden på 1700-talet. Vissa sår läker aldrig tänkte han när han gick kullerstensgatan fram.

Han visste inte då att han samma år skulle göra sin premiärspelning som Seven på Vingården i Norrtelje. Senare skulle han återvända till samma nedgångna restaurang i sällskap av sin nya vapendragare Fredrik Andersson, som var beväpnad med sin viola, för att göra en spelning som förband till Moneybrother. Han hade då hunnit med att flytta till Örebro för kärlekens skull, satt ihop ett band och släppt en demoskiva. De var nu på väg att hitta ett speciellt uttryckssätt men alla bitar föll verkligen på plats i och med demoskivan ”A Salesman of Death”. Det var som om alla vägar ledde fram till den här samlingen låtar. The Magnificent Seven gjorde ett radioframträdande i SR Örebro och fick fina recensioner i Nerikes Allehanda. Musiken började hitta sin publik och som Håkan Pettersson på Nerikes Allehanda uttryckte det "Seven har blivit så magnificent som gruppnamnet tydligt visar".

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN - A SALESMAN OF DEATH

Gruppen, som mot alla odds är en kvintett, befäster sin position som ett väldigt ovanligt demoprojekt. Bara ambitionen att göra nästan helakustisk musik är ju värd ett toppbetyg. Att de sedan lyckas göra något väldigt udda och väldigt bra spetsar bara till det omdömet. Sedvanliga instrument som gitarr, piano, bas och trummor spelar en mindre roll i soundet där Fredrik Anderssons viola är viktigare i arrangemangen. Ömsom traditionell zigenarmusik, ömsom en lågmält melodisk styrka.

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN - A SALESMAN OF DEATH

I have good news for you: If you're planning a ball that is to be held in a ghost-town there's a perfect soundtrack for you: "A Salesman of Death" by The Magnificent Seven.

These five fine folks present a wonderful collection of six songs that explore the haunted and dusty side of Americana, imagine 16 Horsepower if you excised all of the rock elements. These pieces waltz around dusty and abandoned rooms in your head focusing on the grand themes of death and dancing.

The tunes are melancholic, you can cut the dolorous mood (or your wrists) with a razor. But they're also lovely and moving, three of the six ("Les Chants de Maldoror", "Hell, The Devil and How to Sell Your Soul" and "Glory and Pain") are just incredible. The quieter numbers seem to waver on the breeze, blowing through forgotten orchards of gnarled trees and twisted memories. The more spirited ditties make you realized that dancing with the devil may not be a bad thing at all. Put together they're the perfect accompaniment for a trip lost towns in the American South West.

Which just makes it all the more impressive that The Magnificent Seven are from Sweden. They've skilled musicians who never pile on too much or smother a song in arid production. The "bare bones" feeling of this EP is misleading, there's always something going on just as there's always life in the desert.

Where ever these stories are set, be in it the lost west or modern Sweden, it's worth the trip.
