Langhorns, the instrumental surf band from Lund, a city without beaches.
Three guys along with a part time horn-section succeed, despite the beachlessness of their natural surroundings, in being a vital part of the worldwide scene of surf-music.
Their third full-length release; Mission Exotica is a delightful cocktail of all the stuff that has characterized the genre since day one.
Surf-music sees its first light in a time when rock & roll swings wildly from one side of the spectra to the other and literally every influence is invited to participate in the spectacular circus.
During a period of ten intense years surf music takes it shape: a hilarious mix of minimalistic blues-rock, jazz, psychedelia, R&B, flamenco, Latin-rock, Mexican mariachis and the seductive tunes of the Orient. The British invasion, however, locks the positions and puts an end to the heydays of development within the genre...until now.

"Recovering the sharpest punk rock style strikes, the Langhorns deliver a unique compound of a reanimated and driving sound featuring surf music style with rockabilly features.
Assembled in 1995 in Sweden, the Langhorns started off as a two-man venture of guitarist Michael Sellers and bassist Martin Berglund.
Following the duo's first experimentation sessions, they decided on signing up the works of drummer Rikard Swardh, that way defining the team as a three-element combo.
During the next two years, the group played various concerts and gained consistent exposure within the local underground scene, especially due to their intense live shows. In 1997, the Langhorns entered the studio alongside producer Magnus Borjesson to work on their first recording.
In February 1998, the team offered Langhorns released through the Bad Taste records catalog.
Following the issue of the disc, they played yet another considerable number of shows all across Swedish territory.
One year and countless concerts after, the Langhorns presented Club Gabardino, their second studio recording, certifying the band's cult status by then not only in Sweden, but also in the rest of Europe."

Puede que el surf y el instro-rock sean géneros minoritarios, pero no por ello reniegan de fabricar sus propias joyas.

El tercer disco de este trío sueco (también miembros de The Sinners) lo es: un puñado de composiciones que oscilan entre el puro surf, el spy, el jazz, la exótica o esos aromas arabescos que envuelven el temazo que es “In Your Fez”. Desde una irrenunciable solidez y un evidente espíritu energético hibridan y enriquecen el género con inhabituales aportaciones de programación e incursiones en estructuras más cercanas al rock “normal y corriente”. Todo ello bajo un envoltorio resumido en dos palabras mágicas: clase y elegancia. Desde el puro surf reverberado de su debut hasta este alarde de ideas y buen gusto, los de Lund se han convertido en una gran banda de la escena instro-surf europea, junto a otras como Fifty Foot Combo o The Bambi Molesters. Y lo mejor es que lo han hecho con un álbum capaz de satisfacer a los aficionados de muchos géneros diferentes. Sólo hace falta escucharlo.
