8 Tracks: From The Parents Collection With Mount Liberation Unlimited
As far as deviant disco duos go there are few as fierce as Mount Liberation Unlimited. The Swedish duo have moved from strength to strength pioneering a new wave of funk and soul which draws upon elements of classic disco from days gone by. They have most prominently released on the likes of Studio Barnhus and Superconscioud Records but are set to release a new three track EP on Permanent Vacation.
The new EP, titled "Body Language", is an ode to the bygone era of Swedish disco and is perhaps the most pop focused EP that the pair have released to date. Featuring live instrumentation and delicate Swedish vocals the duo have reimagined a sound from a distant age in which the dancefloor was king and the moves the focus.
They guide us through the family collection – the music which inspired "Body Language".

Once upon a time in Tasmania we were playing together with Bradley Zero. The day after the gig we were off and went and got silly at the Berghain of art, aka. MONA. Besides several long lasting life lessons learnt that day Bradley taught us the secret behind ABBAs songwriting. The trick is that every phrase has to be an hook. Like even if you just sang the catchiest MA-MA-MI-A, the next MA-MA has to be even catchier. More is always more. They’re also Swedish and one journalist called ‘Body Language’ an ABBA revival which we don’t know was an insult or not yet.

Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl (Original Version)Making the instrumental version of Body Language we felt something was missing once the vocal went. Van Morrison is one of the truest G’s out there, so we looked to one of his worst tracks for inspiration and stole a melody.
-
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate SonWe have a preferred drum rhythm that we call “Pappa-komp” (The Dad Groove™) that we utilised in Body Language. It’s basically the most simple rock’n’roll drum pattern that you’d learn after picking up a pair of sticks, and CC fucking R are the masters of it. God bless America, and can someone please make an edit of this already?

Steve "Silk" Hurley - Jack Your Body (Original Mix) 1986The mantra of jacking your body is as old as dance music gets. We had an epiphany on the lack of a Swedish translation of this phrase while on stage in Italy last year. Tom started shouting ROCKA DIN KROPP in the mic, the Italians jacked their wonderful bodies even harder and before we knew it our world was forever changed.

Talking Heads - This Must Be The PlaceIf your parents didn’t play you this record growing up you can consider your childhood a fraud.

Magnus Uggla - Sommartid 12 RemixRIDDLE: What does Tim Sweeney, Nick the Record and John Gomez all have in common?
-
Peter Lemarc - Tess. Med TextThis is the soundtrack of growing up in middle class Swedish suburbia. Great last track. Could probably be hip in a few years and selected to be in a selective compilation for the selectors to select.

Kjell Höglund - Genesarets SjöThis dude is like a Swedish hybrid between Daniel Johnston and Arthur Russell. He deserves way more attention outside of Scandinavia.
