Details:
YVONNE was the foremost cult band in Sweden for the black clad indie kids of the Nineties. They released four critically acclaimed albums and reached a big audience. After their most successful album “Hit that City” - including the hit “Bad Dream” and a magical duet between Henric de la Cour and Karin Dreijer from The Knife - the band split up.For the last 17 years Henric de la Cour have made a lasting impression on his audience. With an explosive voice filled with pain and passion - and a gangly body likened to Nosferatu, a reptile and Jack Skellington from “A Nightmare before Christmas” - he has spellbound thousands of fans. Front figures in most other rock bands seem unassuming compared to his sinister charisma.Henric de la Cour instead started Strip Music, musically as dramatic as Yvonne, but also influenced by epic arena rock. Strip Music was also launched internationally and made celebrated tours in Germany and Ukraine.During the last two years Strip Music has been on hold while Henric de la Cour turned his attention to other projects. He featured on electronica star Andreas Tilliander’s album “Show”, lent his voice to Fireside member Per Nordmarks solo project Bad Hands, worked hard as a DJ and also excelled in the part of Jack Skellington when “A Nightmare before Christmas” was turned into a live musical.Above all else however, he has been writing songs.In 2011 Henric de la Cour makes his comeback as a solo artist. The sound is more electronic than before, but just as dark and epic. In the spring “Dogs” was released, a brilliant goth pop song about a complicated relationship, as a teaser on Youtube. Now comes the album, chock full of pumping electro beats, huge choruses and vampiric romance. Henric de la Cour is soon also appearing as the focus of a new documentary by Jacob Frössén on SVT (Swedish National Television).Released late October, 2011 on Progress Produstions.Track Listing:01 Hank Solo02 Dracula03 Son of a Bit*h04 Bedtime05 My Machine06 80s07 Dogs08 Sally09 Gothic10 Lovers11 Clinic
