New Music Spotlight: Parken, "At Helvete Med Himlen"

I don't understand a word of the lyrics on "At Helvete Med Himlen," the awesome new single from Sweden's Parken, but I do understand the superb production, courtesy of the "Swedish Timbaland" and Parken label-mate, Rigas. With its deep synths, swirling strings and crisp percussion it will have you grooving instantly. The songwriting has a slight Reggae flavor and contains moments that recall David Bowie's "Sound and Vision," and oddly enough, Pink Floyd's "Learning to Fly." Bottom line? This song is a hit, no matter what language it's in.

Thanks to Discobelle for the hook-up.

No official date has been set for the album, but we will keep you posted.
