Johan Baeckström (Daily Planet) launches solo album ‘Like Before’ – get it now
Out by the end of June in a very limited edition of just 500 copies, but available here already for ordering, is “Like Before”, the new solo album for Johan Baeckström (the mastermind behind Swedish synthpop act Daily Planet). On this solo album, Johan Baeckström showcases his skills as songwriter, producer and singer (a mix between Morten Harket and Andy Bell comes to mind). The material itself has some ingredients taken from early work by such bands as Yazoo, Erasure and Depeche Mode permitting Baeckström to render 11 electropop songs.
Recommended release, limited to 500, so make sure to get yours now.
You can preview the album below.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
